PicSwiper
Clean up your camera roll, one swipe at a time.
Privacy Policy
In short: PicSwiper collects no personal data. Your photos, videos and choices stay on your iPhone and are never uploaded.
PicSwiper helps you review the photos and videos on your iPhone and choose which to keep or delete. It is designed to work entirely on your device.
What PicSwiper accesses
With your permission, PicSwiper reads your photo library through Apple's Photos framework so it can show your photos and videos and, only when you confirm, ask iOS to delete the ones you chose. You can grant full access, grant access to selected items only, or deny access, and you can change this at any time in Settings → PicSwiper → Photos.
What PicSwiper stores, and where
PicSwiper stores the following only on your iPhone:
- Session progress: the internal identifiers iOS assigns to the items in your sessions, your keep/delete choices, and your Undo history, so PicSwiper can resume a session after the app closes. Copies of your photos or videos are never stored. This data is excluded from device backups and is removed when you end a session or delete the app.
- Preferences: your filter settings, such as whether to include screenshots.
- Temporary data: while the app is running, it may keep thumbnails, file sizes and duplicate-scan results in memory. These are discarded when the app closes.
What PicSwiper does not do
- It doesn't collect, transmit or sell any personal data.
- It doesn't upload your photos, videos, or information about them anywhere. It has no servers.
- It has no accounts, analytics, advertising, tracking or third-party SDKs.
- It doesn't track you across apps or websites.
On-device processing
Optional features such as duplicate detection and storage estimates analyze your media on your iPhone only. Duplicate detection runs only when you start it. PicSwiper never marks or deletes anything automatically.
Deletion
PicSwiper deletes items only after you review them and confirm, and iOS then asks you to confirm again. Deleted items move to the Recently Deleted album in Photos, where they can be recovered for up to 30 days. If you use iCloud Photos, deleting an item also deletes it from your other devices signed in to the same Apple Account.
Children
PicSwiper doesn't knowingly collect information from anyone, including children, because it collects no personal information at all.
