Privacy, in plain English.

1. Who we are and what this covers

This policy explains how the Swept: Photo & Video Cleaner iOS app ("Swept", "we", "us") handles information. It covers the app available on the Apple App Store. If you have any questions, contact us at support@pizazoo.com.

2. Your photos and videos stay on your device

Swept asks for permission to access your photo library so you can review, organize, and delete your own photos and videos. All of this happens on your device:

• Reviewing, swiping, and organizing runs locally through Apple's Photos framework.
• Features like duplicate detection, similar-photo grouping, smart triage, and the sensitive-content scan analyze your photos entirely on-device. No photo, video, thumbnail, or analysis result is ever uploaded to us or anyone else.
• Deletions use Apple's standard deletion flow: items you delete move to the iOS Recently Deleted album, where Apple keeps them recoverable for about 30 days.
• We do not see, collect, store, or transmit the content of your photo library, and we never use your photos for any form of training or advertising.

You can revoke photo access at any time in iOS Settings ▸ Privacy & Security ▸ Photos, though the app's core features won't work without it.

3. Private Vault

The Vault lets you move selected photos and videos out of your photo library and into Swept's private storage on your device, locked behind Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode.

• Vault items are stored only on your device, inside the app's private container. They are never uploaded, and we have no copy and no way to access or recover them.
• You can move items back to your photo library at any time, or delete them permanently.
• Because vault items exist only inside the app, deleting the app deletes your vault items. Move anything you want to keep back to your photo library before uninstalling.

4. Analytics (Google Firebase)

We use Google Analytics for Firebase to understand, in aggregate, how the app is used so we can improve it. This includes events such as which features are opened, summary statistics of review sessions (for example how many items were kept or deleted and how much space was freed, but never the content itself), whether ads served correctly, and whether a purchase was made.

Alongside these events, Firebase collects standard app-analytics information such as device model, OS version, app version, country, and a random per-install app identifier. This data is not tied to your name or email: Swept has no accounts, and we never know who you are. Analytics data is processed by Google on our behalf and retained for a limited period. You can read more in Google's Privacy Policy.

5. Advertising (Liftoff Monetize)

The free version of Swept shows ads served by Liftoff Monetize (formerly Vungle): an occasional full-screen ad while you swipe, and an optional video you can choose to watch to unlock more Smart Triage suggestions for the day. To serve and measure ads and to prevent fraud, Liftoff may process device information (such as model and OS version), your IP address (which implies a coarse location), and interactions with the ads themselves.

Swept does not request the iOS App Tracking Transparency permission, so it does not provide advertisers access to your device's advertising identifier for cross-app tracking. Swept also tells Liftoff that you have not consented to personalized advertising and that your information may not be sold, so the ads you see are not based on a profile of you. For details on how Liftoff handles this data, see Liftoff's Privacy Policy.

Purchasing Swept Pro removes all ads permanently.

6. Purchases

Swept Pro is a one-time in-app purchase processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We never see or store your name, payment details, or billing address. Your entitlement is tied to your Apple account, so you can restore it on a new device with Settings ▸ Restore Purchases inside the app.

7. Notifications

If you enable reminders, Swept schedules local notifications on your device (for example a weekly cleanup nudge). These are created and stored by iOS on your device (no push servers are involved), and you can turn them off any time in the app's settings or in iOS Settings ▸ Notifications.

8. What we don't collect

• No accounts, names, email addresses, or phone numbers (unless you choose to email support).
• No photos, videos, thumbnails, or any content from your library or vault.
• No contacts, messages, browsing history, or precise location.
• No advertising identifier for cross-app tracking (we don't ask for the tracking permission).
• We do not sell personal information, and we have no data to sell.

9. Data retention and deletion

Everything the app stores about your library (your review progress, vault items, settings, and staged deletions) lives on your device and is deleted when you delete the app. Anonymous analytics events are retained by Firebase for a limited period and then deleted or aggregated automatically. If you have a privacy question or request, contact us at support@pizazoo.com and we'll do our best to help.

10. Children

Swept is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your region), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

11. Changes to this policy

If we change how Swept handles data, we will update this page and its effective date. Meaningful changes will also be noted in the App Store release notes of the version that introduces them.
