Static checks identify review items, not a guarantee of safety.

Overview

Analysis recorded

No findings detected by the completed checks

PhotoScan by Google Photos (com.google.android.apps.photos.scanner) scored grade A, 100 out of 100, in a static scan of version 1.7.1.539739820 on 2026-09-19. The checks that completed recorded no findings. That is not evidence that the app has none: it reflects what these checks look for in one build, and cannot rule out what they do not cover. No tracking SDKs were recognised in the package. This is static analysis of a single build: it does not observe the app running and does not establish that any data is exposed.

Data collection & flow (privacy signal, not part of the grade)

Data the app can access
Camera
Camera
Photos & files
Storage (write)
Persistent identifiers (referenced in code)
Android IDDevice ID / IMEI
Where it can go
Third parties present
No analytics/advertising SDKs detected.
  • Personal-data permissions/identifiers appear on-device, but no third-party analytics/advertising SDKs were detected that would receive them.

This maps what the app can access (permissions it requests, identifier APIs its code references) to the third parties bundled in it. It reflects capability and SDK presence — not proof that a specific value was transmitted.

Data Safety: declared vs observed (Play label vs our analysis)

Declared collected

We observe the app can access
no sensitive access observed
✓ No obvious mismatch between the declaration and what we observe.

We compare the developer's Google Play Data Safety declaration with what the binary can actually do (permissions it requests, identifier APIs and third-party SDKs it ships). A mismatch is a capability signal to confirm — a requested permission is not proof of collection.

No SDKs detected by this scan.

Grades can move when a new version is scanned or when a detector is corrected. If you would rather publish a grade that cannot change under you, link a signed Proof Capsule instead.
