Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Photo Cleaner: Swipe to Tidy (“Photo Cleaner”, “the app”) handles information when you use the application. Photo Cleaner is developed by Ivan Kreshikhin, operating under the personal IKresh brand, based in Batumi, Georgia (“IKresh”, “we”, “us”).

Photo Cleaner does not require an account. You can use the app without creating an IKresh login or providing a name, password or profile.

Contact: support@ikresh.com.

Summary

Photos and videos are processed locally on your iPhone.
Photo-library contents are not uploaded to IKresh or Firebase.
No advertising and no IDFA-based advertising.
No sale of personal information and no cross-app tracking.
Firebase Analytics is used for product analytics only.
Purchases and subscriptions are processed by Apple.

Photo library access and on-device processing

Photo Cleaner needs access to your photo library so it can display, compare, organise and remove the items you choose. Processing takes place on your device.

Photos, videos, thumbnails, filenames, album names, EXIF contents and image-analysis results are not uploaded to IKresh or Firebase.

Depending on your iOS settings, you may grant full photo-library access or limited access to selected items. With limited access, Photo Cleaner can work only with the photos and videos you choose to share with the app.

Information stored on your device

To provide the product experience, Photo Cleaner may store local data on your iPhone. This may include:

PhotoKit identifiers for items the app works with;
dates, media type and file size;
album membership information;
swipe decisions and review state;
cleanup sessions and progress;
app settings and preferences.

This information remains on your device unless you choose to share something separately, for example by sending a support email.

Product analytics

Photo Cleaner uses Firebase Analytics to understand feature usage and improve the product. Analytics events may include:

app version;
iOS version;
device category;
language;
broad region;
an anonymous app-instance identifier;
screen views;
feature interactions.

Firebase Analytics events must never include photo-library contents, filenames, album names, PhotoKit asset identifiers, precise location, email addresses or user-entered text.

Website analytics

The IKresh website uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to measure aggregate page visits, referral sources, device categories, countries and website performance. This website analytics is separate from Firebase Analytics used inside the Photo Cleaner application.

Cloudflare Web Analytics does not use cookies or local storage for analytics and does not create cross-site visitor profiles. IKresh uses the resulting aggregate information only to understand website usage and improve website performance.

Cloudflare processes website network requests as the hosting, security and analytics infrastructure provider. IKresh does not use Cloudflare Web Analytics to identify individual visitors or connect website visits with Photo Cleaner users, App Store downloads, purchases or Firebase users.

Advertising, sale of data and tracking

Photo Cleaner does not display third-party advertising and does not use IDFA-based advertising. IKresh does not sell personal information and does not engage in cross-app tracking for advertising purposes.

Purchases and subscriptions

If you purchase Premium features or a subscription, the transaction is processed by Apple through the App Store. IKresh does not receive your payment-card details or Apple Account credentials.

Apple may share limited transaction information with developers as needed to provide the purchased product, such as purchase status or subscription entitlement information. Apple’s handling of payment data is governed by Apple’s own policies.

Support communications

If you contact support@ikresh.com, we process the content of your message, your email address and any information you choose to include only to respond to support or privacy requests. Please do not send personal photos unless they are necessary to investigate an issue.

Data retention

Local app data remains on your iPhone until you delete the app, clear relevant local data through the app’s available controls, or otherwise remove it using iOS features.

Support emails are retained only as long as needed to handle your request and related follow-up, unless a longer period is required for legal or security reasons.

Analytics data is retained according to Firebase Analytics retention settings and Google’s applicable product terms.

Service providers

IKresh uses Google Firebase Analytics as a service provider for product analytics inside the iOS application. Cloudflare provides website hosting, security infrastructure and aggregate website analytics for the IKresh website. Purchases and subscriptions are processed by Apple. These providers process information according to their own terms and privacy policies and only as needed to provide the relevant services.

Firebase Analytics and Cloudflare Web Analytics are separate systems. Firebase Analytics measures usage inside the Photo Cleaner iOS application. Cloudflare Web Analytics measures aggregate website visits and performance. IKresh does not use either system to link website visitors with Photo Cleaner users or App Store activity.

International transfers

IKresh is based in Batumi, Georgia. Service providers such as Google and Apple may process information in countries other than where you live. Where applicable, those providers rely on contractual and organisational safeguards for international transfers.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under applicable privacy laws, including the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold about you, and the right to object to or restrict certain processing.

Because Photo Cleaner does not require an account and processes photo-library contents on device, many app-related records exist only locally on your iPhone. For support emails or other information held by IKresh, contact support@ikresh.com.

If you are located in the EEA or the United Kingdom, applicable law may provide additional rights, including access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection and data portability where relevant. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent for future processing where consent applies. Where processing is based on legitimate interests, you may object to that processing subject to applicable law.

California residents

Photo Cleaner does not sell personal information. We do not share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. California residents may have rights to know, delete or correct certain personal information, subject to legal exceptions.

To make a privacy request, email support@ikresh.com and describe the request. We may ask for information reasonably necessary to verify the request.

Children

Photo Cleaner is not directed to children under 13, or under the age required by local law. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us through support communications, contact support@ikresh.com.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures appropriate to the nature of the information we process. Photo-library contents stay on your device. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will change when updates are published. Continued use of Photo Cleaner after an update means you have reviewed the revised policy.
