Privacy notice
Your library stays behind sign-in.
This notice describes Michelle’s Photos, its private hosted library and backup/search services. The app is operated for a limited family audience. Privacy contact: zenuiphotoapp@icloud.com.
Information used
- Account identity: authenticated user identifiers and email addresses are used to decide which library you can access.
- Photos, videos and audio: authorized media is backed up, displayed and processed for search. Original files may contain dates, device information, location or other embedded metadata.
- Search information: descriptions, recognized text, speech transcripts, selected video frames, timestamps and labels help find relevant media. Search requests are handled by the hosted service.
- Operational records: filenames, sizes, checksums, processing status, request usage and error records help verify backups, prevent duplicate processing and enforce configured allowances.
- Support messages: information you choose to email is used to answer your request.
Where information goes
Google Drive stores configured original backups. Google Cloud runs parts of video processing. The private app’s hosting and storage use OpenAI Sites and its infrastructure, including Cloudflare. ChatGPT sign-in supplies the identity used for access control.
Search processing uses OpenAI for selected media descriptions and speech transcription. Google Cloud Vision and Microsoft Azure OCR have been used for photo text recognition. Depending on the workflow, media derivatives, selected frames, audio and generated text are transmitted to these services. Some text recognition can run on the device. Not every provider processes every file. This is not an entirely on-device service.
Service providers may retain operational or security records under their applicable service terms. This notice does not promise zero retention by providers. Information may be processed outside your country.
Access and purpose
Private library access is restricted to authorized accounts. Service credentials support the configured backup and processing workflows; they do not make the library public. Media and derived search records are used to provide, maintain and troubleshoot the app. The app does not offer a public gallery or sell library content to advertisers.
Your controls
Photos access is controlled in iOS Settings. Backup can be turned off in the app. Revoking permission or disabling backup prevents subsequent collection through that permission or workflow; it does not erase existing backups or necessarily cancel a request already submitted. Contact support to stop pending cloud work or request removal of stored app data.
Backup/search keeps originals. The separate reviewed-cleanup feature can delete selected Apple Photos items after confirmation; with iCloud Photos, this can affect other synced devices. It does not empty Recently Deleted.
Retention and removal
Original backups, previews and search records remain available until deliberately removed; there is no automatic short-term deletion promise. Operational records and independent backups can have different retention periods. Ask support to remove app data or access. We verify ownership, confirm which records and copies are in scope, and explain any remaining retention or provider limitations. Removing the app does not delete cloud data or third-party accounts.
