Privacy Policy

Cutout is an Android photo-editing application that removes image backgrounds using on-device artificial intelligence. Background-removal processing happens on your device. Because Cutout includes advertising and optional Google sign-in, some information is processed by Google services described below. For that reason this policy does not claim that no data at all is collected.

• Photos you select are processed on your device to create a cutout.
• Cutout does not upload your photos, segmentation masks, background selections, or edited results to a server operated by the developer.
• Editing actions such as Keep and Erase brush strokes, undo and redo history, background choices, and export settings are handled locally.
• Exported images are saved to your device in Pictures/Cutout.

• Cutout uses Google ML Kit for on-device subject segmentation.
• ML Kit may download or update machine-learning models over the internet.
• ML Kit may transmit utilization, diagnostic, or performance information to Google.
• Your images and the resulting segmentation masks are not sent to Google through the ML Kit subject-segmentation API.

• Cutout can retain up to 24 recent uploads in private local application storage so you can reopen recent work.
• You can remove individual recent uploads inside the application.
• Clearing the application's storage or uninstalling Cutout removes this local history and any locally stored profile preferences.
• Exported images already saved in Pictures/Cutout are part of your shared photo collection and must be deleted separately. See Delete Data.

• You can use the Cutout editor without creating an account. Signing in is optional.
• If you choose Google sign-in, the application may receive your Google account identifier, email address, display name, and profile-picture URL.
• These profile values are currently stored locally on your device to remember your session and are not sent to a developer-operated account server.
• Signing out or clearing application storage removes the locally remembered profile information.

Cutout uses Google Mobile Ads to display advertisements. Depending on your consent, device settings, and region, Google advertising services may process or share:

• Approximate location inferred from your IP address
• Application interactions, such as ad requests, impressions, and clicks
• Diagnostics, crash, and performance information
• Advertising ID, app-set ID, or other device identifiers
• General device and network information

This processing may be used for advertising, measurement, analytics, security, and fraud prevention by Google in accordance with Google's own policies.

• Cutout uses Google's User Messaging Platform to present applicable advertising consent or privacy choices.
• Where required, you are asked for your choices before personalised advertising is served.
• Your consent selection is recorded so the application can respect it on later launches.

Internet access may be used for:

• Downloading or updating the on-device AI model
• Serving advertisements
• Displaying consent messages
• Optional Google sign-in

Cutout does not require an internet connection to keep your photos private.

Notification access is requested only after you grant notification permission on your device. You can revoke it at any time in Android settings.

• Local recent uploads are limited to the 24 most recent items and are replaced as you continue editing.
• You can delete recent uploads individually inside the application.
• Clearing application storage in Android settings removes recent uploads, editing state, local settings, and remembered Google profile information.
• Advertising information handled by Google is controlled through Google and Android privacy controls.

Cutout relies on Google services including ML Kit, Google Mobile Ads, the User Messaging Platform, and Google Sign-In. These services have their own privacy policies and data practices, which apply to information they process.
