CutOut – Privacy Policy

← Back to Home

Ask Mobile ("we," "our," or "us") operates the CutOut mobile application (the "Service"). CutOut removes the background from your photos using on-device image processing — no artificial intelligence models and no remote servers are involved in editing your images.

This page explains what information CutOut accesses, how it is used, and the choices you have.

📋

1. Information Collection and Use

CutOut lets you select or capture a photo and cut out its subject using classical computer-vision segmentation (OpenCV GrabCut) that runs directly on your device.

To provide this feature, the app requires access to certain information on your device:

Photos and Camera: you choose an image from your photo library or take a new one with your camera so it can be edited.
Exported Images: images you edit are saved back to your photo library or shared only when you choose to do so.

On-Device Processing

All background removal, masking, brush edits, and exports happen locally on your device. CutOut does not upload your photos or exported images to our servers or to any third party.

Your photos never leave your device. We do not collect, view, or have access to the images you edit.

🔔

2. Permissions Required

To function correctly, CutOut may request the following permissions on your device:

Photo Library (Read): to let you pick an image to edit.
Photo Library (Add): to save your edited, background-removed image back to your gallery.
Camera: to let you capture a new photo directly within the app.

3. Third-Party Services

CutOut uses a small number of third-party services to keep the app free and to improve it over time. These providers may collect information used to identify your device:

Google AdMob — shows banner, interstitial and rewarded ads on the home/gallery screen; the editor itself is ad-free. AdMob may use advertising identifiers and, where required (e.g. iOS App Tracking Transparency), only with your permission.
Google Play Billing / Apple App Store — processes in-app purchases (weekly and yearly Pro subscriptions, and a one-time lifetime purchase). Payment details are handled entirely by Apple/Google; we never see or store them.
Firebase (Core & Remote Config) — lets us remotely adjust app configuration, such as which ad placements are active, without collecting personal information about you.
Mixpanel — collects anonymous, aggregated usage analytics (such as which features are used) to help us understand and improve the app. It does not receive your photos.

Each provider operates under its own privacy policy; we recommend reviewing them for details on how they handle data.

4. Security

We value your trust in providing us your information, and we strive to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. Because your photos are processed locally, the risk of a data breach from our side is minimal.

"No method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure and reliable, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security."

5. Children's Privacy

These Services do not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13.

If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we immediately delete it. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take the necessary action.

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.

Changes are effective immediately after they are posted on this page.
