Privacy Policy

Photos stay local. Website data is disclosed here.

Sort Moments is a local desktop app. This page explains what stays on your computer, what the website may collect, and where third-party services enter the picture.

Last updated: June 12, 2026

Photo processing No account. No Sort Moments cloud upload. The desktop app processes folders locally on your machine.
Website analytics The site may use a first-party visitor cookie and aggregate counters for visits and downloads.
Third parties Downloads use GitHub Releases. The current homepage may load Buy Me a Coffee and link to external sites.

What the desktop app does with photos

Sort Moments works on folders you choose. Face detection, grouping, rename review, and output folder creation happen locally on your computer. The app is not designed to upload your photo library to Sort Moments servers.

If you choose a custom model, custom script, or third-party workflow outside the default app, that external component may have its own privacy behavior. Check it before using it on private albums.

Website data we may collect

When you visit sortmoments.com, the server may process standard request information such as requested URL, timestamp, IP address, browser user agent, and basic security/diagnostic logs. Hosting providers and web servers normally need this to deliver pages and keep abuse out.

The website also exposes aggregate public stats. Downloads are read from GitHub Releases asset counts. Unique visitors may be counted with a first-party cookie named sortmoments_visitor_id. The server stores a hashed visitor identifier with first seen, last seen, and visit count. The public number may include a baseline offset so old traffic is not erased when the counter changes.

Cookies

The visitor cookie is used to estimate unique visits. It is not an account cookie, advertising cookie, or photo-processing cookie. It may last up to 365 days unless you clear it in your browser.

Third-party embeds or links, including Buy Me a Coffee and GitHub, may use their own cookies or tracking when you interact with them. Their policies apply on their services.

What we do not sell

Sort Moments does not sell your photo library. The website is not built around advertising profiles or data brokerage. If that ever changes, this policy should change before the behavior changes.

Open source and downloads

Installers are linked through GitHub Releases. GitHub may receive information when you visit GitHub pages or download release assets. Sort Moments uses GitHub's public release download counts to display aggregate download numbers.

Contact

For privacy questions, open an issue on GitHub or use the contact links on the homepage. Do not send private photo libraries in support requests.

Changes

This policy may change as the website, analytics, or app distribution changes. The date at the top tells you when this page was last updated.
