Are my photos uploaded?

No. The cut-out is made on your phone, and your photos never leave it.

Why does it need Google Play services?

The tool that finds the subject is Google's ML Kit, which Google Play services keeps on your phone. Once it's there, cutting out works without internet.

Can I use the cut-outs in my shop?

Yes. There's no watermark and no limit, the white is pure white, and the square, 4:5 and 3:4 frames put the product at 85% of the frame.
