SwipeClean – Photo Cleaner
Last updated: October 23, 20261. Overview
SwipeClean ("we", "the app") helps you clean up your photo library and contacts. This policy explains what data the app handles and how. In short: your photos, videos and contacts never leave your device. The app shows ads, which involve device and technical data described in section 5.
2. Photos, Videos and Contacts
The app asks for access to your photo library and, optionally, your contacts, only to show, review, compress, merge or delete items you choose. All processing (including duplicate detection) happens entirely on your device. No photos, videos, thumbnails, file metadata or contact details are ever uploaded to us or to any third party.
3. Notifications and Cleanup Reminders
If you allow notifications, the app sends cleanup reminders (for example, "20 WhatsApp photos to clean"). To make them relevant, the app sends our server the following, linked to a random identifier generated on your device:
- Your push notification token, platform (iOS/Android), app version, language and time zone.
- Aggregated counts only, such as the total number of photos and videos and the number of items in each cleanup suggestion. Never the items themselves.
- Whether you opened a reminder, so we can send fewer reminders if you ignore them.
This identifier is not linked to your name, email, Apple/Google account or any other personal identity. The app does not require an account. Count snapshots are deleted after 30 days. You can turn reminders off at any time in the app's Settings or in your device settings.
4. Crash Reporting and Analytics
We use Firebase Crashlytics to collect anonymous crash reports (device model, OS version, stack trace) and Firebase Analytics to collect anonymous usage data (screens visited, feature interactions, session length). This data does not include photos, contacts or personal data, and is not used for advertising or cross-app tracking.
5. Advertising (Unity LevelPlay)
The app shows Rewarded and Interstitial ads through Unity LevelPlay, an ad mediation platform. Ads come from ad networks connected through LevelPlay, currently ironSource Ads (a Unity service) and Liftoff Monetize (Vungle). The ad provider may collect and process the following from your device:
- Device identifiers, including the advertising identifier (IDFA) when you have allowed tracking, and the vendor identifier (IDFV).
- Information about ads shown and your interactions with them (impressions, clicks, rewards).
- Information about your interactions with the app.
- Performance and technical data, such as device type, operating system, app version and IP address.
This information is used to show third-party ads, measure ad performance, analytics, fraud prevention and securing the service.
On iOS, the app asks for App Tracking Transparency permission before accessing the IDFA. If you decline, the app does not access the IDFA, but the ad provider may still process other technical information, subject to your device settings and applicable law. You can change your choice at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the app asks for your consent to advertising before ads are loaded, and passes your choice to LevelPlay and its ad networks. You can change this choice at any time in the app under Settings → Ad privacy choices.
SwipeClean does not share the personal photos or videos in your library with LevelPlay for advertising.
Unity, Liftoff and their advertising partners may act as independent third parties under their own policies. See Unity's Privacy Policy and Liftoff's Privacy Policy.
6. Third-Party Service Providers
- Firebase Crashlytics (Google): crash reporting, retained for 90 days.

- Unity LevelPlay, ironSource Ads, Liftoff Monetize (Vungle) and their ad partners: serving and measuring ads, as described in section 5.

We do not sell your personal data. Advertising data is shared only with the ad providers above, and only as described in section 5.
7. Children's Privacy
The app is not directed at children under 13 and ads are not configured as child-directed. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
8. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction (including the EU/EEA and California), you may have the right to access or delete data associated with your device. Deleting the app stops all data collection; to request deletion of stored reminder data, contact us at the address below.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Significant changes will be announced in the app. The latest version is always available on this page.
