Information We Collect

Personal Information

We do not collect any personal information. Sorto does not collect, store, or transmit:

• Email addresses or contact information
• Device identifiers or advertising IDs
• Location data or GPS coordinates
• Any personally identifiable information

Photo Metadata Processing

Sorto processes photo metadata (such as resolution, file size, and technical details) locally on your device to determine the best photos and organize your camera roll. This metadata:

• Is processed entirely on your device
• Never leaves your iPhone
• Is not uploaded to any servers
• Does not include location data
• Is only used for photo analysis and organization

Analytics Data

We collect anonymous usage analytics through PostHog to help improve the app. This includes:

• App usage events (e.g., how many times you open the app)
• Storage savings metrics (e.g., how much storage space you've saved)
• Feature usage statistics (e.g., which features are used most)
• General app performance and crash reports
• No personal identification or device linking

This data is collected anonymously and cannot be linked back to you or your device. It helps us understand how to improve the app and measure its effectiveness.

Since all data processing happens on your device and we don't collect personal information, your privacy is protected by iOS's built-in security features. We implement industry-standard security practices for the minimal anonymous analytics we collect.
