KeeperlyKeeperly privacy policy
Keeperly is a Chrome extension that helps you clean up your Google Photos library. This policy explains what it does with your data. In short: your photos stay on your computer, and we collect nothing.
What Keeperly accesses
When you start a revision on photos.google.com, Keeperly reads the photo grid in that page (links to your photos and the addresses of their thumbnails) and downloads small thumbnails from Google's image servers. It does this inside your browser, using your existing Google Photos session.
What happens to your photos
Thumbnails are analysed on your computer to find duplicates, similar shots and low-quality photos, and then discarded. Keeperly stores only "fingerprints" in your browser's local storage: each photo's id, two hashes and a few quality scores, so a second scan is faster. You can clear them at any time from the panel ("Something not working?" → "Clear saved fingerprints") or by removing the extension.
What we collect
Keeperly has no account, no analytics and no advertising. No photo, thumbnail, fingerprint or usage information is sent to us or to anyone else. The only thing that leaves your computer is your license key, if you buy Pro (see below).
Smart scan (optional)
If you switch on Smart scan, Keeperly downloads an open-source AI model (OpenAI's CLIP, as packaged by Xenova) from huggingface.co once, and keeps it in your browser's cache. Only the model files are downloaded; the model runs on your computer and no photo is sent to Hugging Face or anywhere else. Hugging Face's own privacy policy applies to that download.
Keeperly Pro (paid version)
Keeperly Pro is sold through Creem (creem.io), which acts as the merchant of record: Creem handles the checkout, your payment details, your email address and taxes, under Creem's own privacy policy. We receive your email address and order details from Creem so we can provide support and refunds.
When you activate Pro, the extension sends your license key to our license server (buildcase.dev), which checks it with Creem and returns an activation id. The extension re-checks the key about once a week. Only the license key and that id are sent; no photo, fingerprint or browsing data. The license server does not store these requests.
What Keeperly changes
Keeperly never deletes photos on its own. When you press "Select in Google Photos", it ticks the selection checkboxes of the photos you approved in the Google Photos page. If you then press "Move to Trash…", it presses Google Photos' own trash button, which opens Google's confirmation dialog. Only you can confirm it; Keeperly never does. Deleted photos stay in Google Photos' Trash for 60 days.
Permissions
Keeperly asks for access to photos.google.com (to read the grid and select photos) and to Google's image servers (to download thumbnails), plus side panel and local storage permissions for its interface and fingerprints.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be published at this address with a new date.
