Privacy policy

Your library stays yours.

Harutobi searches and organizes images without sending them to us.

Effective July 12, 2026

No data is collected or shared.
Photos and derived metadata remain on your device.

Information Harutobi accesses

With your permission, Harutobi accesses the photos you select or your full photo library. It processes those images on your device to recognize text, suggest tags, and build a searchable index.

Recognized text, tags, descriptions, favorites, collection memberships, indexing status, and photo identifiers are stored locally to support search and organization.

Data collection and sharing

Harutobi does not collect, transmit, sell, rent, or share your photos or the metadata derived from them. The app does not contain advertising or third-party analytics SDKs and does not require an account.

Indexed items may appear in Apple’s system search on your device. That index is managed locally by the operating system.

Your controls

You control photo access through iOS Settings. You may grant access to selected photos or the full library, change your selection, or revoke access at any time.

Data deletion

Harutobi’s locally stored data is removed when you delete the app. Removing a photo from your library or revoking access prevents Harutobi from accessing it. The app also provides controls for deleting metadata associated with an individual image.

Children

Harutobi is not directed specifically at children and does not knowingly collect personal information from children or any other users.

Changes

If Harutobi’s data practices change, this policy and the App Store privacy disclosure will be updated before the changed version is released.
