It is a weird advertisement when Ente (the name of the service) will also see your photos.
Ente is client side E2EE at rest, on device AI, open source and audited. E2EE solves all of these issues as long as it's open source and reproducible. Efforts like these should be praised.
>The image shows a lively nighttime scene, possibly a parade or street festival. In the foreground, a group of people wearing elaborate, colorful hats and red shirts are prominently featured. The background includes brightly lit storefronts, one of which appears to be a pizza place, suggesting a bustling urban or suburban setting. The overall atmosphere is festive and energetic. There are also some indistinct shapes in the background that might be more people or decorations, but they are not clearly visible.

Several details are harder to make out at first glance. The hats themselves are quite elaborate and appear to be custom-made or part of a themed event, hinting at a possible local cultural or community celebration. There's a subtle variation in the lighting across the scene, indicating either the illumination from different sources (streetlights and storefront signs) or the varying distances of people from the camera. The signs in the background suggest a location, potentially in a town with a commercial district.
Anyways, I’m pretty skeptical on most AI shit, but using it to help steer me in the right direction with home repair actually sounds pretty compelling considering how it’s nearly impossible to find contractors who aren’t full of shit, affordable, and actually show up.

Terrible search without AI is a bit of a stretch. Also Google does not have a monopoly on object/face recognition in photos. There are self-hosted solutions that readily provide you with that without feeding a faceless AI with your photos while boiling the ocean.
Could you please tell some? I am about to switch to a self-hosted solution.

Right. They give away your photos, videos and personal information,and others might use them for advertising.

So then how can it be a paid service?

Thanks for the clarification. My family library is around 1Tb, the weakest device is an iPhone SE, and the most used access is through a web browser. Does on-device machine learning (provided you're syncing inter-device) work in that scenario ?
Embeddings (and other derived metadata) will sync across all your devices e2ee. So you could use our desktop app[1] to import and index your existing library. Newer photos will get indexed during upload on respective clients. Search is yet to be implemented on web and indexing is turned off by default on devices with General > Advanced > Machine learning.

One company has the capacity to maintain HIPAA compliance and the other is best known for vacuuming up the entire web and users prompts. For something as sensitive as family photos, I know which company/product I'd prefer for this potential project.
What is the sensitive nature of a photo of two people both long dead?

Yeah. I have to scrub every photo before I'll upload it. Even the 'remove properties' option in Windows can do some good.
Exifpurge.com. A portable Windows app to remove all exif data from multiple photos.
Can anyone recommend a linux tool for removing exif data from images and metadata from pdfs?
