Gemma 4 Responsibility Guidelines
PhotoLens runs Google's open-weight Gemma 4 model entirely on your device. Here is how it is used, what it is good at, and where it should not be trusted.
Gemma Responsibility Guidelines
PhotoLens is powered by Google's open-weight Gemma family of models. The three documents below — the Prohibited Use Policy, the License, and the Intended Use Statement — are reproduced here from Google's official Gemma documentation. They govern how the Gemma model and any model derivatives may be used, both inside PhotoLens and anywhere else.
