SuTu documentation

Privacy Policy

SuTu has a simple core promise: photo processing happens on your device. We require no account and operate no server for receiving your photos.

Scope

This policy covers the SuTu app for iPhone and iPad and the website at sutu.caiths.com. It explains how the app uses photos you provide, on-device settings, and local processing history.

Photos and files

SuTu does not scan your entire photo library or upload images to a developer server.

The Photos entry uses Apple's system picker, so the app receives only items you explicitly select. Files, clipboard, and iPad drag-and-drop imports are also processed only after a direct action from you.

Resizing, compression, enhancement, cropping, and format conversion use Apple system frameworks on your device.

System permissions

If you decline photo-library write access, you can still save to Files or send results through the system share sheet.

  • Add Photos: used only to write copies you confirm to the system photo library.
  • Clipboard: read only after you choose Paste from Clipboard.
  • Files: accessed temporarily through the system document picker or drag session.

Data stored on device

Preferences, small history thumbnails, and preview cache stay inside the app sandbox. History does not contain original file paths or original photos. You can clear cache and history in the app; uninstalling removes this local data.

Exports and metadata

Exported copies are re-encoded in the selected format. GPS, camera, lens, serial-number, and other source metadata are removed by default. General sharing output is converted to SDR sRGB with orientation baked upright.

Collection and tracking

SuTu does not collect personal data, track users, sell information, or share personal information.
  • No account, ads, analytics, or user profiling.
  • No Firebase, Crashlytics, or third-party statistics SDKs.
  • No cross-app or cross-site tracking.
  • No cookies or browser local storage for website analytics.

Website infrastructure

The site is hosted by GitHub Pages, with Cloudflare used only for DNS. Infrastructure providers may keep ordinary security and operations logs such as IP address, time, and request path. SuTu does not connect those logs to photos in the app or operate a separate analytics service.

Children's privacy

SuTu is not designed to collect information from children. Because the app has no accounts, uploads, or personal-data collection, we do not knowingly collect children's personal information.

Changes to this policy

If features, data practices, or applicable rules materially change, we will update this policy and place the new effective date at the top of the page.
