1. Introduction

PicSweep – Photo Cleaner ("we", "our", or "the App") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our duplicate photo detection application.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

• Photos: Your photos never leave your device. All duplicate detection, AI analysis, and processing happens locally on your iPhone or iPad.
• Personal Data: We do not collect names, emails, phone numbers, or any personally identifiable information through the app's core functionality.
• Location Data: We do not access or collect your location information.

3. Information We May Collect

The following information may be collected through third-party services:

• Analytics Data: Anonymous usage statistics (e.g., app opens, feature usage) via Firebase Analytics to improve app performance.
• Crash Reports: Anonymous crash logs via Firebase Crashlytics to identify and fix bugs.
• Advertising Data: Google AdMob may collect device identifiers for personalized advertising (for free users). You can opt out in your device settings.
• Purchase Information: RevenueCat processes subscription purchases. Payment is handled securely by Apple.

4. Photo Library Access

The App requires access to your Photo Library to:

• Scan for duplicate and similar photos
• Display photo thumbnails for review
• Delete photos you select (with your explicit confirmation)

This access is used solely for the app's core functionality. Photos are processed on-device and never uploaded to external servers.

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Firebase (Google): Analytics, Crashlytics, Remote Config
• Google AdMob: Advertising for free users
• RevenueCat: Subscription management

These services have their own privacy policies which we encourage you to review.

We implement industry-standard security measures. Since photos are never transmitted off your device, there is no risk of photo data breach from our servers.

The App is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

8. Your Rights

• Revoke Photo Library access in iOS Settings at any time
