WHAT THE POLICIES SAY

Photomath is a camera-based math-solver app whose privacy policy names the data controller as Photomath LLC, registered at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California — Google's own headquarters address — and whose App Store listing states the developer of record is 'Google.' The policy discloses that images and videos captured through the app's camera are used to solve the immediate problem but are also used, together with derivatives, 'for problem indexing and might be used for testing and improving the quality and features of the Service' — a secondary-use clause for homework/photo content beyond the immediate request. It discloses standard analytics technologies (cookies, beacons, anonymous identifiers, crash logs) used to track user movement around the service and gather demographic data, and use of marketing cookies from 'our marketing partners (Google), and/or social media platforms (Facebook)' for ad delivery and measurement, while stating 'We do not sell your information and we always ask for consent.' The app's own App Store privacy label discloses no data category linked to identity or used for cross-app tracking — all disclosed data is listed as 'Data Not Linked to You.' No breach, regulator action, or named-firm security audit was found in this research; the policy contains only a generic security disclaimer.
