Privacy Policy
Photos, videos, contacts, calendar events, and Gmail metadata are processed on your iPhone. We do not upload that content to our servers.
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how AI SwiftClean (“we,” “our,” or “the App”) accesses and uses information when you use our iOS application.
AI SwiftClean helps you free space and tidy your device. You can scan and clean your photo and video library, review items by swiping, compress videos, convert Live Photos to still photos, clean contacts, clean calendar events, clean Gmail by sender, and play a short speaker tone. Optional local notifications can remind you about one photo category, a month you were sorting, or photos from this day in earlier years.
The App does not create a user account and does not show third-party ads. It offers auto-renewable weekly and yearly subscriptions through the App Store. It uses AppsFlyer to attribute installs and subscriptions. The advertising identifier (IDFA) is read only after you allow tracking. A server we operate receives install identity, transaction facts, and device information. Photo, video, contact, calendar, and Gmail content is not uploaded. Please read this policy with our Terms of Use.
2. Information the App accesses
Photo Library
- With your permission, the App reads your Photo Library, including full access or the limited selection you choose in iOS, so it can find duplicates, similar photos, blurry photos, screenshots, similar videos, Live Photos, and other videos.
- Clean and Swipe delete only items you select and confirm. Those items move to Recently Deleted in Photos. Apple typically keeps them there for about 30 days. The App does not restore them for you.
- Video compression runs on your device. When you choose to save, the App writes a new, smaller video into your library. The original video stays unless you delete it yourself.
- Live to Still runs on your device. The App saves still photos to your library, then deletes the original Live Photos only if you confirm that separate step.
- We do not upload your photos or videos to our servers for storage, analysis, or advertising.
Contacts
- With your permission, the App reads Contacts on your device to find duplicate or incomplete entries and to merge or delete contacts you approve.
- Contact backups are vCard files stored in the App on your device. They are not uploaded to us. Deleting the App removes those backups.
- If your contacts sync through iCloud or another account you configured, a change you confirm in the App is written to that system contact store and may sync to your other devices. We do not operate that sync, and we do not receive a copy of your contacts.
- Contact data is not sold and is not used for advertising.
Calendar
- With your permission, the App reads Calendar events on your device so you can review them and delete events you explicitly confirm.
- Events you confirm for deletion are permanently removed from Calendar. The App cannot restore them.
- If your calendars sync through iCloud or another account you configured, a deletion you confirm may sync to your other devices. We do not operate that sync, and we do not receive a copy of your events.
- Calendar data is not sold and is not used for advertising.
Gmail
- Email cleanup is optional. It runs only after you tap Sign in with Google and allow Gmail access.
- The App requests one Gmail permission,
gmail.modify, so it can list messages and move messages you confirm to Trash. Google Sign-In also uses its standard identity scopes so the App can show the connected account. The App does not request permission to send, compose, or permanently delete mail, and it does not request full access to the mailbox. - To group mail by sender, the App reads message metadata from Gmail: the From header, subject, date, and the short snippet Gmail already provides. It does not download or upload full message bodies.
- That metadata is used only to show senders and messages inside the App. The Google sign-in token stays on your device. We do not upload Gmail metadata, message contents, or the token to our servers. We do not create, upload, or share aggregated or anonymized Gmail data.
- Deletion happens only for messages you select and confirm. Those messages move to Gmail Trash. You can restore them from Trash in Gmail. The App does not permanently delete them.
- You can sign out of Gmail from Email settings in the App. Signing out disconnects the account on this device and removes the sign-in token and sender list stored there. You can also revoke the App’s access in your Google Account under Third-party apps & services. Deleting the App removes that on-device token and sender list. Messages already moved to Trash remain in your Gmail account until you or Gmail remove them.
- People who operate the App do not read your Gmail messages. We do not sell Gmail data, and we do not use it for advertising or transfer it to advertising platforms, data brokers, or other third parties.
- AI SwiftClean’s use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
- We do not use Google user data to develop, train, or improve any AI or machine-learning model, and we do not send Google user data to any third-party AI service.
Local notifications
- With your permission, the App may schedule local notifications on your device about one subject at a time: a photo category, a month you were sorting, or photos from this day in earlier years. A reminder is not shown while you are using the App. If you do not open the App, at most two further reminders follow, then they stop.
- Notification text may include an on-device photo count or an approximate size for one category. It does not include your photos, contacts, or calendar contents, and that text is not sent to our servers.
- We do not use a remote push service for this feature. iOS notification permission is what decides whether reminders can be delivered. To turn them off, use iOS Settings → AI SwiftClean → Notifications, or Settings → Notifications.
On-device preferences
- The App stores settings on your device, such as onboarding progress, detection preferences, cleanup statistics, and notification state. This stays in local storage on the device.
- Clear Wave plays audio through your speaker. It does not read your photo library, contacts, or calendar.
Subscriptions and attribution
- The App sells auto-renewable weekly and yearly subscriptions. Apple bills the payment method on your Apple ID. We do not receive or store payment card details.
- AppsFlyer is used for install and subscription attribution. The advertising identifier (IDFA) is read only after you allow tracking in Apple’s App Tracking Transparency prompt. If you do not allow tracking, the App does not read the IDFA.
- A server we operate receives install identity, transaction facts, and device information for that attribution. It does not receive your photos, videos, contacts, calendar, or Gmail content.
- We do not ask you to create an AI SwiftClean account, and we do not collect your phone number. If you connect Gmail, Google Sign-In provides the Google account name and email address so the App can show which account is connected. That account information and the sign-in token stay on your device. If you email us, we receive whatever you choose to send.
3. How we use information
The App uses the information above to provide the features you open and the actions you confirm: scanning and reviewing media, compressing videos, converting Live Photos, cleaning contacts and calendar events, grouping Gmail by sender and moving confirmed messages to Trash, storing on-device contact backups, remembering on-device settings, and showing optional local reminders. It also uses AppsFlyer to attribute installs and subscriptions, and sends install identity, transaction facts, and device information to a server we operate for that purpose. That server does not receive photo, video, contact, calendar, or Gmail content.
We do not sell your personal data. We do not use your photo library, contacts, calendar, or Gmail data for third-party advertising.
4. Data storage and security
- Photo, video, contact, and calendar content used by the App remains on your device, except where iCloud or another account you already use syncs a change you confirmed in Photos, Contacts, or Calendar.
- Contact backups and App preferences live in the App’s local storage. Removing the App deletes that local App data. Deletions you already confirmed in Photos, Contacts, or Calendar stay in those system stores.
- Gmail metadata and the Google sign-in token used by Email stay on your device. All traffic between the App and Google's APIs uses TLS encryption. We do not keep a server copy of your Gmail messages or that token. Deleting the App removes the on-device token and sender list.
- Because the App does not upload this content to us, we do not keep a server copy you can ask us to erase. You control the copies on your device.
5. Your choices
- Turn Photo Library, Contacts, or Calendar access off in iOS Settings → AI SwiftClean.
- Sign out of Gmail from Email settings in the App, or revoke the App’s access in your Google Account under Third-party apps & services. Restore messages from Gmail Trash in Gmail while they are still there. Deleting the App removes the on-device Gmail token and sender list.
- Allow or decline tracking when iOS shows the App Tracking Transparency prompt. Declining means the App does not read the IDFA. You can change this later in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
- Turn notifications off in iOS Settings → AI SwiftClean → Notifications, or Settings → Notifications.
- Recover recently deleted photos and videos in the Photos app while Apple still keeps them in Recently Deleted.
- Restore a contact backup from inside the App while that backup is still stored on the device.
- Delete the App to remove its on-device preferences and contact backups.
6. Children’s privacy
The App is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
