Privacy Policy

Swiper: Clean Phone Storage ("Swiper", "the app") helps you find and remove photos and videos you don't need, on Android and iOS. It is operated by Ayelite Technologies PVT LTD ("we", "us", "our"). Swiper is built so that your photos and videos never leave your phone. There are no accounts, no sign-in and no cloud sync, and we do not run any server that receives your photos or videos. The only data that leaves your phone is described below: subscription status (RevenueCat), usage analytics and crash reports (Firebase), and advertising measurement (Meta).

Your photos and videos stay on your device

• Swiper reads your photo and video library only after you allow it (Photos access on iPhone and iPad, photo and video access on Android), and only to find items you may want to remove: duplicates, similar shots, bursts, blurry and dark photos, screenshots, screen recordings, short clips and large videos.
• All of that checking happens on your phone. We never upload, copy, sell or share your photos or videos, and we cannot see them.
• Nothing is deleted unless you choose it and confirm. Deletion uses your phone's own system, so removed items go to Recently Deleted on iOS, or to the trash on Android where your phone provides one, and can be restored there for about 30 days.
• Video compression runs on your phone and saves the new, smaller video to your library.

Private vault

Photos and videos you move into the vault are encrypted with AES-256 and stored only inside the app on your phone. The encryption key and your PIN are protected by your phone's secure storage — the Keychain on iOS and the Android Keystore on Android. If you turn on Face ID, Touch ID or fingerprint unlock, the check is done by your phone; we never receive any biometric data. If you uninstall Swiper, the vault and everything in it is erased, and we cannot recover it.

Subscriptions and purchases

Swiper Pro is sold through the App Store or Google Play, which handle your payment. We never see your card or payment details.

On both iOS and Android we use RevenueCat (RevenueCat, Inc.) to check whether you have Swiper Pro and to restore purchases. RevenueCat receives a random anonymous identifier created by the app, your purchase and subscription status from the store (for example a trial starting, a renewal or a cancellation, with the price and currency), and basic technical information such as the app version, operating system and store country. It receives no name, no email, and nothing about your photos or videos. RevenueCat processes this on our behalf under itsprivacy policy. To measure our ads, RevenueCat also passes these subscription events to Meta, as described under "Advertising measurement" below.

Usage analytics and crash reports

To understand how Swiper is used and to fix crashes, the app uses Google Firebase Analyticsand Firebase Crashlytics (Google LLC). Here is the whole of what they receive:

• Which screens you open, and that certain steps happened — an onboarding page was seen, a scan finished, a category was opened, items were deleted, a video was compressed, items were moved to the vault, the Pro screen was shown, a purchase was started or completed. Where useful these carry a count, a size in megabytes, or a fixed choice such as "weekly" or "yearly".
• Crash and error reports: the technical trace of the crash, your device model, operating system and app version.
• An app-instance identifier generated by Firebase, and general information Firebase collects automatically such as approximate country, language and session times.

What is never included: your photos or videos, their names, dates, locations or contents, album names, anything in your vault, your vault PIN, or anything you type. Google processes this data under the Google Privacy Policyand Firebase's data processing terms. Usage analytics and crash reports are on by default; you can switch them off at any time in Swiper → Settings → Privacy → "Share usage & crash data".

Advertising measurement (Meta)

We promote Swiper with ads on Facebook and Instagram. To learn which ads lead to installs and subscriptions, the app includes the Meta App Events SDK (Meta Platforms, Inc.). It sends Meta that the app was installed and opened, and three steps: onboarding finished, the Pro screen was viewed, and a purchase was started. RevenueCat sends Meta the subscription events described above. Along with these, Meta may receive your device's advertising identifier, device model, operating system and app version, and IP address.

• On iPhone and iPad, Swiper asks for your permission with Apple's "Allow tracking" prompt. Your device's advertising identifier (IDFA) is shared with Meta only if you tap Allow. If you choose "Ask App Not to Track", Meta receives only aggregated, privacy-preserving measurement data, without your advertising identifier. You can change this at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
• On Android, Meta may receive your advertising ID. You can reset or delete it at any time in your phone's Settings → Privacy → Ads (or Google → Ads).
• Switching off "Share usage & crash data" in Swiper's settings also stops the app sending these events to Meta.

Meta uses this data under the Meta Privacy Policy, including to measure and improve ad delivery. We never send Meta your photos, videos, vault contents, name or email.

Notifications

If you allow notifications, Swiper may send one local reminder the day before a free trial ends. It is scheduled on your own phone; no notification service receives any data about you. You can switch notifications off in your phone's settings at any time.

Information stored on your phone

Swiper keeps your settings and a short summary of your last scan (counts and sizes, not the photos themselves) on your phone. Uninstalling the app removes them.

What we don't do

• No accounts or sign-in.
• No ads shown inside the app.
• Your photos, videos and vault are never uploaded, analysed off your phone, or shared with anyone.
• We do not sell your personal data.
• On iPhone and iPad, no tracking unless you allow it in Apple's prompt.

Your choices

• Change or remove Swiper's photo access in your phone's settings at any time; the app keeps working with whatever you allow, including "selected photos only".
• Turn off usage analytics, crash reports and Meta events in Swiper → Settings → Privacy.
• Allow or stop tracking on iPhone in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking; reset or delete your advertising ID on Android in your phone's settings.
• Cancel a subscription in your App Store or Google Play settings.
• To ask about or delete data held by RevenueCat, Firebase or Meta for your app identifiers, contact us at the address below and we will help.

Children

Swiper is a general-audience utility and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has shared personal information with us, contact us and we will remove it.

Changes

If a future version ever collects anything new, this page will be updated before that version ships. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above.
