🛡️ Our Privacy Commitment
SnapSweep is designed with privacy as our top priority. All photo processing happens entirely on your device. We never collect, transmit, or store your photos on any external servers.
1. Information We Collect
SnapSweep does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information. Specifically:
- Photos: All photos are processed locally on your device. We never upload, store, or have access to your photos.
- Usage Data: We do not collect usage analytics, crash reports, or any tracking data.
- Personal Information: We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personal data.
- Device Information: We do not collect device identifiers, IP addresses, or location data.
2. Photo Library Access
SnapSweep requires access to your photo library to perform its core function of detecting and removing duplicate photos. Here's how we handle this access:
- All photo analysis is performed locally on your device using Apple's Vision framework
- No photos or photo metadata ever leave your device
- Photo access is only used for the app's core functionality
- You can revoke photo library access at any time in iOS Settings
3. Data Storage
SnapSweep stores the following data locally on your device only:
- App preferences and settings
- Scan results (temporary, cleared when you close the app)
This data never leaves your device and is automatically removed when you delete the app.
4. Third-Party Services
SnapSweep does not integrate with any third-party services, analytics platforms, or advertising networks. Your data stays completely within the app on your device.
5. Children's Privacy
SnapSweep does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. Since we don't collect any data at all, our app is safe for users of all ages.
6. Your Rights
Since we don't collect any personal data, there is no data to access, modify, or delete. However, you have complete control over:
- Photo library access permissions (manage in iOS Settings)
- All app data stored locally on your device
- Deleting the app and all associated data
7. Security
We take security seriously. Since all processing happens on your device using iOS's built-in security features, your photos are protected by Apple's security framework. We never transmit data over networks, eliminating network-based security risks.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
9. California Privacy Rights
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have specific rights regarding their personal information. Since SnapSweep does not collect, sell, or share any personal information, there is no data subject to CCPA requirements.
