1. Introduction

Welcome to Photocleaner, operated by AppViolet ("we", "our", or "us").

Your privacy is extremely important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our mobile application.

Photocleaner is designed with a privacy-first approach. All processing happens locally on your device.

By using the app, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Personal Information

We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information to external servers.

Photocleaner requests permission to access your photo library solely to:

• Detect duplicate photos
• Identify blurry images
• Analyze similar photos

All analysis is performed locally on your device.

We do not upload, copy, store, or transmit your photos.

2.3 Device Information

The app may access limited device-level information necessary for functionality, such as:

• Device storage capacity

This information is processed locally and is not transmitted externally.

3. How We Use Information

Any information accessed by the app is used exclusively to:

• Provide duplicate detection
• Detect blurry or similar photos

All processing occurs on-device using Apple's secure system frameworks.

7. Data Retention

Because all processing occurs locally:

• We do not retain user data on external systems.

• You may remove all related data by deleting the app.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights including:

• Access to personal data

If you believe that a child has provided personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate action.
