Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 14, 2026
The short version: NoTrace does not collect, store, or transmit your photos, videos, or any personal information. All metadata reading and removal happens entirely on your device. Our App Store privacy disclosures on the Apple App Store and Google Play state“Data Not Collected.”
What we collect
Nothing personal. NoTrace has no account system, no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party tracking SDKs. We never see your files. Photos and videos you select are processed on your device and never leave it through NoTrace.
Your media
When you clean a file, NoTrace reads its metadata and writes a new copy with that metadata removed, all locally. The original and cleaned files stay on your device and in your photo library if you choose to save them. We have no servers that receive your media.
Purchases
The iPhone and iPad app uses Apple's App Store, and the Android app uses Google Play, for purchases and subscriptions. We never receive your payment details. Apple and Google process transactions under their own privacy policies. Restoring a purchase uses StoreKit or Google Play Billing and your store account, not an account with us. NoTrace checks the store for active entitlements and does not use that information for advertising, analytics, or profiling.
App configuration
The iPhone and Android apps may request a small, static configuration file from our domain when they open, to choose presentation such as the welcome screens or the plan layout. This request containsno identifiers and no personal data. It is an anonymous fetch of a public file, like loading a web page. We do not use it to track you. The Android app connects to Google Play Billing only to load plans, complete a purchase, and restore an entitlement, and may show Google Play's in-app rating prompt.
Website measurement
Our website counts privacy-safe events: visits to our download link (getnotrace.app/get), a completed metadata check, or a store button click. Each event records only what happened, the campaign tag on the link, whether it came from iPhone, Android, or a computer, which app's browser opened it, and the country. These events contain no IP address, cookie, photo, filename, metadata value, GPS coordinate, advertising identifier, or cross-site tracking profile. Photos checked on the website are processed locally in your browser and are never sent with an analytics event.
Children's privacy
NoTrace is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from anyone, of any age.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update the date above. Material changes will be reflected in an app update.
