PhotoSort User Agreement
Please read this agreement carefully before using PhotoSort. By using or continuing to use the App, you acknowledge and agree to this agreement and the PhotoSort Privacy Policy.
1. Acceptance
This agreement applies to the PhotoSort iOS app (the "App"), official website pages, and related services we provide. This agreement, the PhotoSort Privacy Policy, and rules that we publish and expressly apply to the App form the complete agreement between you and us regarding use of the App.
If you do not agree to this agreement or related rules, you may stop installing, launching, or using the App. By using the App, you are deemed to have read, understood, and accepted this agreement.
We may modify this agreement due to laws and regulations, App Store requirements, product features, ad SDK requirements, or operational needs. Updated versions will be posted on this page. If you do not agree to an update, you should stop using the App; continued use means acceptance of the updated agreement.
2. Product and Service
PhotoSort provides an album storage dashboard, duplicate photo detection, screenshot cleanup, blurry and low-quality photo filtering, large video cleanup, Live Photo to still conversion, screenshot text recognition, a privacy vault, a 7-day trash, Pro upgrades, and advertising.
You should obtain the App from Apple App Store or other lawful channels approved by us, and install and use it only on devices you legally own or are authorized to use. If you obtain the App or a similarly named installer from an unauthorized third-party channel, we cannot guarantee its security, integrity, or availability and are not responsible for losses caused by it.
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable limited license to use the App only for lawful, non-commercial, or normal personal use. Without authorization, you may not copy, adapt, distribute, rent, sell, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, crack, or otherwise use the App beyond normal use, except where expressly permitted by law.
To maintain security, compatibility, and functional consistency, we may update, adjust, suspend, restrict, or terminate part of the App. Older versions may no longer be available; please install the latest version according to App Store or system prompts.
3. Album Content and Local Data Responsibility
Before uninstalling the App, clearing the app container, changing devices, or reinstalling the system, please confirm and back up important content yourself. We do not operate our own cloud album and cannot recover local privacy vault, trash, or screenshot note data that has already been deleted from your device.
You are responsible for photos, videos, screenshots, text, and other content that you choose to scan, import, save, delete, restore, export, or share. Please ensure that you have the lawful rights or authorization for such content and that it does not infringe any third party's intellectual property, reputation, privacy, portrait, trade secret, or other lawful rights.
The App does not actively review your local album content. Any disputes, complaints, claims, or losses arising from your use, storage, deletion, restoration, display, or distribution of such content are your responsibility.
4. Cleanup, Deletion, Trash, and Privacy Vault
PhotoSort displays candidate duplicates, screenshots, blurry or low-quality photos, large videos, Live Photos, and other items based on app capabilities. Candidate results are for reference only. Please confirm before deleting, importing into the privacy vault, restoring, or permanently removing items.
Items deleted through PhotoSort first enter the App's 7-day trash. You can restore or permanently delete them there. Expiry, your own permanent deletion, uninstalling the App, clearing app data, or system errors may make related content unrecoverable.
The privacy vault uses a local passcode to protect important photos and videos. Please keep your passcode safe. Because vault content is stored mainly on your local device, device loss, app uninstallation, system reinstallation, or local file damage may make content unrecoverable.
5. Screenshot Text and Recognition Results
The screenshot text feature recognizes text from screenshots you select and creates notes. Recognition results may be affected by image clarity, language, layout, occlusion, system capabilities, and device performance, and may contain omissions or errors. Please verify results before relying on them.
6. Free, Pro, and Ads
The Free version lets you try the core flow and may include ads, detection limits, OCR limits, or feature capacity limits. Pro may unlock unlimited photo detection, Live Photo to still image conversion, unlimited screenshot text recognition, unlimited privacy vault capacity, and other benefits. Exact features, prices, and availability are subject to the in-app display and App Store information in your region.
The current project integrates Google AdMob for app open, banner, and interstitial ads. Ad display, ad fill, and ad content may be affected by network conditions, region, device, Google policies, and advertiser settings.
7. Purchases, Restore Purchases, and Refunds
Pro purchase, restore purchase, price display, payment, taxes, Family Sharing, refunds, and purchase history are handled by Apple App Store / StoreKit and are subject to Apple's rules. Refund requests usually need to be submitted through Apple official channels. We do not receive your full payment account, card information, or Apple ID password.
8. Environment and Risk Notice
Scan speed, recognition results, storage estimates, video processing, Live Photo conversion, restore, and deletion results may be affected by photo library permissions, iCloud Photos status, remaining device storage, system version, network status, device performance, and media file condition.
You understand and agree that the App is provided based on existing technology and conditions. We will make reasonable efforts to maintain stability, but we cannot guarantee that the App will be error-free, uninterrupted, or meet all expectations across every device, system version, album size, or usage scenario.
9. User Conduct
You may not use the App for illegal, infringing, harassing, fraudulent, malicious, disruptive, or rights-violating activities, including but not limited to:
- Saving, processing, displaying, or distributing content that violates laws, public order and morals, or third-party platform rules.
- Processing others' photos, videos, identity documents, private information, or protected content without authorization.
- Impersonating others, misleading others, infringing others' privacy, or disclosing others' personal information.
- Using plugins, external tools, automation, cracking methods, or other means to interfere with, damage, or bypass the App's features, purchase entitlements, advertising mechanisms, or security mechanisms.
- Scanning, testing, attacking, interfering with, or distributing malware against the App, website, or related services without permission.
If you violate this agreement or laws and regulations, we may take measures within a reasonable scope, including restricting features, stopping services, retaining necessary records, reporting to authorities, or pursuing legal liability.
10. Intellectual Property
The App's interface, icons, code, copy, website, assets, trademarks, product name, and related content are owned by us or the relevant rights holders. Without authorization, no one may copy, modify, distribute, commercially redistribute, or create derivative works beyond normal use.
You retain lawful rights to your photos, videos, screenshots, and text content. Using the App to store or process content does not transfer your rights to us.
11. Personal Information and Privacy
We value personal information protection and process information related to your use of the App according to the PhotoSort Privacy Policy. Please read the Privacy Policy before using the App to understand local storage, photo permissions, ad SDKs, App Store purchases, third-party services, data deletion, and contact information.
12. Service Changes, Interruptions, and Termination
Based on product updates, system compatibility, App Store requirements, ad SDK requirements, security, laws and regulations, or operational needs, we may change, interrupt, restrict, or terminate part or all of the service. We will provide notice through webpages, app screens, or other appropriate methods where reasonably practicable.
If force majeure, system failures, third-party service failures, App Store failures, Google ad service failures, device or network issues, iCloud Photos sync status, abnormal media files, or similar causes result in service unavailability, data loss, or processing errors, we will assist within a reasonable scope but do not assume liability beyond mandatory legal requirements.
13. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for indirect losses, lost profits, business interruption, or data loss caused by lost photos or videos, accidental deletion, lack of backup, device failure, system restrictions, permission settings, iCloud sync status, recognition errors, ad service failures, purchase channel failures, or force majeure.
14. Breach
If your violation of laws, this agreement, or third-party rights causes any third party to make claims, complaints, investigations, or requests against us, you are responsible for them. If we suffer losses as a result, you shall compensate us and eliminate the impact according to law.
15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
This agreement is governed by the laws of the People's Republic of China, excluding conflict of law rules. Disputes arising from this agreement or the App should first be resolved through friendly negotiation; if negotiation fails, either party may bring a lawsuit before a court with jurisdiction according to law.
If any part of this agreement is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms remain effective. Section headings are for reading convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
