PRIVACY & SUPPORT

Your photos stay in Google Photos.

Updated September 8, 2026 · Applies to the current pre-release extension.

What Photo Turn does

When you start a batch, Photo Turn operates the native Google Photos editor in the album you chose. It does not upload your photo files to our servers. Google receives its normal requests for editing and saving through its own service.

Records on your device

Album and photo links, filenames, dimensions, adjustment checks, batch progress, error messages and usage records are stored locally in your Chrome browser profile. These records track progress, free usage and unresolved edits. The batch journal does not store photo pixels. Someone with access to your browser profile may be able to read these records.

Subscriptions and payments

Paid subscriptions are planned for launch; live checkout is not yet available. ExtensionPay and Stripe handle checkout and purchase restoration. ExtensionPay receives account information such as your payment email and provides subscription status and payment dates to the extension. Card details are handled by the payment providers, not the extension. Our code does not send your album links, filenames or photo files to payment providers.

Chrome Sync

The payment library stores a payment-account identifier and cached provider response, which may include your email, plan, subscription status and payment dates. It uses Chrome Sync storage when available and falls back to local extension storage. If Chrome Sync is enabled, those payment records may sync through Google to your other signed-in Chrome installations. Our code stores photo links, filenames and batch journals separately in local storage, not Chrome Sync.

Analytics and support

This extension contains no usage analytics or advertising trackers, and we do not sell personal data. This website adds no analytics or advertising scripts. Hosting, Chrome Web Store and payment providers may process service data under their own policies.

If you email support, Sam Marchand receives what you choose to send and uses it to answer your request. A support journal can contain private filenames and links; review it before sharing. Contact us to request deletion of support correspondence, subject to any records we must retain.

Removal and cancellation

Removing the extension removes its local storage in that profile. It does not undo edits already saved to Google Photos or cancel a subscription. Use Manage subscription to cancel. Payment providers maintain their records separately. Clearing extension records also removes recovery history; resolve uncertain edits before clearing them.
