About Apple Photos
Apple Photos does most of its analysis on the device rather than in the cloud, so face grouping and object search work without the library being readable by the vendor. Sync happens through iCloud, and the library is a first party part of the operating system rather than an app you install.
It is the strongest privacy position among the mainstream cloud photo services, and the weakest cross-platform one. Outside the Apple ecosystem the experience thins out quickly.
