PhotoSensei Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to us. This page explains — in plain language — what information PhotoSensei collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. If anything here is unclear, please email us and we will be glad to explain.

Who we are

PhotoSensei is an app developed by Fraley Atelier, the studio of Daron Fraley. If you have a question about your privacy or the information we hold, write to us directly at support@photosensei.app.

Children’s privacy

PhotoSensei is not directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect information from children under 13.

What information we collect

Account — PhotoSensei creates an account for you automatically. We don’t collect your name, email, or any personal identifier to use the app. Your account is identified by a random ID that is generated fresh on each install. It is not derived from your device, and we don’t collect a device identifier of any kind.

Photos you submit — When you complete a lesson, you submit a photo for feedback. That photo is sent securely to Anthropic’s Claude AI for analysis, along with the lesson title and its criteria. Your account ID is not sent to Anthropic. PhotoSensei itself never stores your photo — it’s used only to generate your feedback, then discarded on our end the moment the response returns. Anthropic, who performs the analysis, does not retain your photo by default. It may be retained for up to 2 years where required by law, or where content is flagged by Anthropic’s automated safety systems. Anthropic never uses your photo to train their models. You can read Anthropic’s own privacy terms at https://privacy.claude.com. You can withdraw your consent to AI photo analysis at any time from the Profile screen in the app.

Lesson progress — Your completed lessons and your rank are stored on your device only. They are never sent to us, and we cannot see them. This also means we cannot restore them: if you uninstall and reinstall the app, or reset your account, your progress starts over and a new account ID is created.

What we store on our servers

Four things, and nothing else:

  • Entitlements — what you purchased, which platform you purchased it on, and when it expires.
  • AI analysis usage — a count of how many analyses you have used in the current calendar month, because the monthly limit has to be counted somewhere.
  • Entitlement claims — a record used to transfer a purchase between installs.
  • Content reports — created only if you actively report AI feedback. This is the only place a lesson identifier exists on our servers, and only for reports you choose to file.

Purchases — If you unlock lessons or subscribe to Pro, Google Play (Android) or the Apple App Store (iOS) handles the payment and we never see your card details. We store only whether your account is entitled to unlocked content or Pro access.

Notifications — PhotoSensei does not send push notifications and does not collect a device push token.

Analytics — PhotoSensei contains no analytics, no crash reporting, and no advertising or attribution software of any kind.

Google Play Integrity (Android only) — On Android, the app uses Google’s Play Integrity service to verify that purchases are genuine. Google binds this check to your device and Google Play account on Google’s own infrastructure. We do not receive, see, or store any of that information. The iOS version performs no equivalent check.

How we use your information

We use your submitted photos only to generate your lesson feedback. We use the information on our servers only to deliver what you purchased and to count your monthly analyses. We don’t use your information for advertising, and we don’t sell it to anyone.

Data security

All data sent between your device and PhotoSensei’s servers is encrypted in transit.

Who we share your data with

Photo analysis is performed by Anthropic’s Claude AI. Purchases are processed by Google Play (Android) or the Apple App Store (iOS). On Android, purchase verification uses Google Play Integrity. We don’t share your data with any other outside company, and we never sell your information.

Your rights

You can delete your account and its data at Delete Your Account, or by emailing support@photosensei.app. Deletion requests are completed within 30 days.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the app or the law changes. When we do, we’ll post the new version right here. This policy was last updated in August 2026.
