The short version. Pout has no servers, no accounts and no cloud. It never uploads, copies or duplicates your photos, and it never collects analytics or tracking data. Everything happens on your device, inside your Apple Photos library.
Pout is a privacy-first photo organisation app for iPhone, operated by Kratzer & Co (ABN 35645362865), Australia. Pout sits on top of Apple Photos and helps you organise photos and videos that haven't been added to one of your albums yet.

To do its job, Pout requests Photo Library access (read and add) through Apple's PhotoKit framework:
This access is granted by you in iOS and managed by Apple. You can change or revoke it at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Photos → Pout. Pout only reads the information it needs to display your library and never sends it anywhere.
We do not collect any personal data. Pout does not gather names, email addresses, contacts, location, device identifiers, usage analytics, or the contents of your photos. Because Pout has no servers, there is no data for us to receive, see, or store.
Any app preferences (such as your album palette position or last-used filter) are stored locally on your device only.
If you delete a photo or video in Pout, Pout asks iOS to remove it using the standard system flow. Deleted items go to your Apple Photos Recently Deleted album, exactly as they would in the Photos app, and can be recovered there within Apple's normal retention window.
Pout does not integrate any third-party analytics, advertising, or data-collection services within its core organising features. The app is distributed through the Apple App Store; Apple may collect its own data as described in Apple's privacy policy. On the Settings screen, Pout may display a promotional link to another Kratzer & Co app on the App Store — tapping it simply opens the App Store and shares no personal data.
Pout is a general-audience organisation tool and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.
Because Pout does not collect or hold any personal data about you, there is nothing for us to access, correct, export, or delete on our side. You remain in full control of your photos through Apple Photos and iOS at all times.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version will always be available at this page. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last revised" date above.
