Privacy Policy

1. Information we do not collect

The app creates no account. It never asks for your name, e-mail address or phone number, and there is no sign-in step.

We operate no server that receives data from the app. The app contains no advertising, tracking or analytics SDK, so no advertising identifier and no usage statistics are gathered.

The app does not communicate with any server of ours. The only outbound connections are the user guide link and the App Store review link you tap yourself, and Apple Maps when the geotag screen shows the map or searches for a place.

• No account and no sign-in
• No server operated by us
• Zero advertising, tracking or analytics SDKs
• Nothing sends your photos or the analysis results to us

2. Information processed only on your device

The app analyses photos on the device with Apple’s Vision framework: it groups bursts and look-alikes and suggests the one to keep by looking at composition, exposure, sharpness, faces and closed eyes. The feature data used for that analysis and its results never leave the device.

Your cleanup history, such as how many photos you cleaned and how much space you freed, and your settings, such as protected albums and the weekly reminder, are stored in UserDefaults on the device.

The start of your trial, the record of the one-time trial extension and whether you bought the app while it was a paid app are stored in the device keychain. These values are used only to decide whether the app is unlocked, and they never leave the device.

When you clean a folder or an external drive — USB, SD card, Files or Finder — reading and writing those files also stays on the device.

3. Photo library and folder access

On iPhone and iPad the app needs access to your photo library. It asks for read and write access together, because it groups similar shots, deletes the photos you select, and writes metadata such as geotags.

On Mac the app uses your photo library and, in addition, only the folders and external drives you pick yourself in Finder. It cannot open a location you have not chosen.

If you decline a permission, only the matching feature stops working; the app does not gather photos or files by any other route.

The app does not use the camera, the microphone or your contacts, and it never asks for tracking permission.

4. Location and geotagging

The app has no location permission. It contains no feature that reads the device’s current position, so no location prompt ever appears.

Geotagging writes coordinates that you chose — by tapping the map or searching for a place — into your own photo files. JPG, HEIC and TIFF files are written in place; for proprietary RAW the app creates an .xmp sidecar with the same name and, when a paired JPG exists, writes that file as well.

Showing the map and searching for a place use Apple’s map service, so the search text is sent to Apple. We take no part in that exchange and receive nothing from it.

The coordinates stay inside your own photo files and are never sent to us.

5. Notifications

The weekly cleanup reminder is off by default. The app asks the system for notification permission only when you switch the reminder on, and if you decline the permission the setting turns itself back off.

Reminders are scheduled and shown on the device. No notification content reaches us and we never send you a message. This feature is available on iPhone and iPad only.

6. Siri and Shortcuts

The app registers actions such as “start photo cleanup” with Siri and the Shortcuts app. Those actions open a screen in the app on your device; they do not send photos or results anywhere.

Any voice processing that happens while you use Siri is governed by Apple’s policies. This feature is available on iPhone and iPad only.

7. Payment

The purchase of “Unlock Everything” is handled by Apple through the App Store and StoreKit. We never receive and cannot see your payment details, including your card number.

The app decides whether it is unlocked using only the purchase and trial state it can verify on the device. Cancellations and refunds are handled by Apple.

8. iCloud Photos

If you use iCloud Photos, Apple may download originals from your own iCloud account when the app needs them. That exchange happens between you and Apple, and we are not part of it.

With iCloud Photos on, photos you delete in the app are also removed from the other devices signed in to the same account.

9. Retention

We hold no information about you, so there is no retention period on our side.

The cleanup history and settings stored on the device are removed when you delete the app. The start of your trial, the record of the one-time trial extension and the cached paid-app status may stay in the keychain after the app is deleted, so that a trial is not granted over and over. These values are used only to decide whether the app is unlocked and are never sent to us.

Photos deleted from the photo library go to the system “Recently Deleted” album and can be restored for 30 days; files in folders and on external drives are moved to the system Trash.

Exported XMP files and photos you copied or moved stay in your own storage and are not managed by us.

10. Third parties

The app bundles no third-party SDK. It uses no advertising network, no analytics tool and no crash reporting service.

The only third party involved is Apple. App Store payment, the photo library, Vision analysis, notifications, and the map and place search all run through the operating system and Apple’s services.

We do not share or sell your information to anyone. We hold nothing that could be shared.

11. Your rights and security

Because we store no personal data, there is nothing for you to request access to, correct or delete on our side. The app data left on your device is removed when you delete the app.

App data is stored inside the app sandbox and the keychain provided by iOS and macOS. Keeping your device locked and your operating system up to date is the most effective way to protect your photos.

12. Children

The app does not ask for an age and collects no personal information from any user, so it neither gathers nor stores information about children.

Purchases are made through an Apple Account; Family Sharing and Ask to Buy follow Apple’s settings and policies.

13. Changes to this policy

When this policy changes we publish the new text and its effective date on this page.
