Privacy by design

Your photos stay on your phone.

Photo Pin is built so the app keeps your photos in private storage on your device. There is no account and no upload to a Photo Pin cloud.

Photo Pin asks what the user wants to share

Clear choices

You decide before anything leaves the app.

  • Maps opens only after you select Open in Maps.
  • Visual search asks before sharing a visible crop with an external search app.
  • WhatsApp, email and other sharing open only after you choose Share.
  • You choose when a photo is deleted.

An external app or service has its own privacy terms. Photo Pin shows a clear confirmation before handing content to an external service.

Location

Useful when enabled. Clear when it is off.

With Android location permission and phone Location enabled, a new photo can receive a map coordinate. If Location is off, Photo Pin still takes the photo but does not save a map location.
