Privacy Policy

Effective 2026-07-19 · PhotoDeduper

The short version

PhotoDeduper does not collect, transmit, sell, or share your data. Everything the extension does happens inside your browser, on your device.

The PhotoDeduper extension

• Photo data stays on your device. Scanning, duplicate matching, and review run entirely in your browser, within your own logged-in Google Photos session. There is no PhotoDeduper server; your photos, thumbnails, and metadata are never sent to us or anyone else.
• Local storage only. Scan results, settings, and cached thumbnails are stored locally in your browser (IndexedDB and extension storage) so scans can resume. Uninstalling the extension removes them.
• Network requests go only to Google. The extension talks exclusively to Google Photos and Google's image-hosting domains, as you, in your existing session — the same requests the Photos website itself makes.
• No analytics, no tracking, no accounts. The extension contains no telemetry, advertising, or third-party analytics of any kind.
• Diagnostics are yours to send, or not. The extension keeps a local diagnostic log (errors and scan events, with identifying values scrubbed) that only you can see. It is shared only if you explicitly click "Report a problem", which copies the report to your clipboard for you to email. Nothing is sent automatically.

This website

• No forms, no cookies, no analytics. This site collects nothing, sets no cookies, and runs no tracking scripts. Our host (Cloudflare) may process standard server logs (IP address, user agent) to serve and protect the site.
• Embedded videos load only on click. Some pages embed a YouTube video behind a click-to-play preview image served from this site. Nothing loads from YouTube until you press play; when you do, the video streams from YouTube's privacy-enhanced domain (youtube-nocookie.com), and YouTube's own privacy policy applies to that playback.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will appear at this address with an updated effective date.
