Tap Cut privacy policy
Last updated: November 4, 2026
Tap Cut collects nothing. There is no Tap Cut account, no Tap Cut server, no ads and no
analytics.
What Tap Cut reads, and where it stays
- Your photos and videos. With your permission, Tap Cut reads your photo library to offer your
Live Photos, videos, photos and shared albums. The items you choose are copied into the app’s
private space, on the iPhone, to build the reel. They never leave it.
- Your music. The sound you choose — a file or the sound of a video — is copied into the
app’s private space and analyzed on the iPhone.
- Your takes. The moments you tap and each reel’s settings stay in the app’s private space.
- Finished reels. Tap Cut only writes to your photo library the reels you save.
The one thing sent: naming your trips
To show a place’s name, the Places tab sends Apple’s maps service one point per group of
photos — a latitude and a longitude — never a photo. Apple handles that request under its own
privacy policy. The names received are kept on the iPhone.
Deleting your data
Deleting a reel erases its copies from the iPhone; deleting the app erases everything. Your photo
library is never touched.
