Sweeply — Privacy Policy

Sweeply is a photo and video cleanup app for iPhone. This policy explains, in plain language, what Sweeply does and does not do with your data. The short version: your photos and videos never leave your device, and Sweeply has no servers of its own that receive your personal content.

Last updated: 5 July 2026

Your photos and videos stay on your device

Sweeply uses Apple's Photos framework (PhotoKit) to show you the photos and videos already in your library so you can swipe through them and decide what to keep or delete. All of this happens entirely on your device:

Sweeply reads your library only to display it and to compute on-device "smart buckets" (similar/duplicate shots, blurry photos, screenshots, large videos).
Similarity and blur detection run locally using Apple's on-device Vision and image APIs. No image, thumbnail, or analysis result is ever uploaded anywhere.
When you confirm a deletion, Sweeply asks the system Photos framework to move the selected items to your Recently Deleted album, exactly as the built-in Photos app does. Sweeply never transmits your media.

Sweeply has no backend, no analytics SDK, and no advertising SDK. It does not use the Advertising Identifier (IDFA) and does not track you across apps or websites.

What data we handle and where it is stored

Data	Why	Where stored	Retention
Your photos & videos, and on-device analysis (similarity, blur, smart buckets)	To display your library and help you find items to clean up	On your device only, via Apple's Photos framework. Never uploaded anywhere.	Managed by you in the Photos app; we store no copy
Purchase history + anonymous RevenueCat app-user ID	To unlock the Sweeply+ entitlement and restore purchases	RevenueCat. No name or email. Apple handles payment.	As long as needed to manage your entitlement

Purchases (Sweeply+)

Sweeply offers an optional subscription and a one-time lifetime purchase ("Sweeply+"). Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. To manage entitlements and restore purchases, Sweeply uses RevenueCat, a third-party purchase-infrastructure provider.

RevenueCat receives your purchase history and a randomly generated, anonymous app-user identifier. Sweeply does not provide RevenueCat with your name, email, Apple ID, or any other identity information, and does not link the anonymous identifier to your identity.
Apple processes the payment itself; Sweeply never sees your payment details.
RevenueCat's handling of this data is governed by RevenueCat's own privacy policy: https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy

This purchase data is used only to determine whether you have an active Sweeply+ entitlement and to let you restore purchases on your devices. It is not used for advertising or tracking.

Data we do not collect

Sweeply does not collect: your name, email address, phone number, contacts, location, browsing or search history, health data, the contents of your photos or videos, or any advertising/tracking identifiers.

Children

Sweeply is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect any personal information from children.

Permissions

Photos: required so Sweeply can show your library for cleanup. You can revoke this at any time in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Photos. If access is off, Sweeply cannot function, but it will simply prompt you to grant access.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this URL with a new "Last updated" date.
