Privacy Policy

Draft. No lawyer has reviewed this. Do not publish it as it stands.

This page was written by the people who built Cleantific, as a starting point for a solicitor to work from. It describes what Cleantific actually does, but describing something accurately is not the same as meeting the disclosure requirements of the GDPR, the CCPA, or Apple's App Review Guidelines. Have it reviewed before Cleantific is submitted to the App Store.

The short version

Cleantific analyses your photos on-device. Your photos are never uploaded, never copied to a server, and never seen by us. There is no account to create, nothing to log in to, and no way for us to identify you. We could not hand over your photo library if we were asked to, because we do not have it.

Everything below expands on that. If any part of it contradicts the paragraph above, the paragraph above is the one we intend to honour, and the contradiction is a mistake worth telling us about.

Who this applies to

This policy covers Cleantific, an iOS app for iPhone and iPad, and this website at www.cleantific.app. Cleantific is currently a TestFlight beta and is not yet on the App Store.

Your photos

Cleantific reads your photo library to find similar photos, mark one as Best, work out your cleanable space, and Compress a photo or video. All of that runs on-device, using frameworks Apple provides on your iPhone or iPad.

That means:

• No photo, video, thumbnail, or derived image ever leaves your device.
• No photo is sent to us, to a cloud service, or to any third party.
• No model is trained on your library.
• We have no ability to view, retrieve, or restore anything in your photo library.

There is no photo upload feature in Cleantific, so there is no setting to check and nothing to opt out of.

Deletion and Trash

Choosing Trash queues a photo for deletion. It does not delete anything on its own. When you confirm, Cleantific asks iOS to move the queued photos to your Recently Deleted album through Apple's own Photos framework, which is the same mechanism the built-in Photos app uses. Apple keeps items there for around 30 days, and you can restore them from the Photos app during that window.

We never receive a copy of anything you Trash, before or after deletion.

Permissions Cleantific asks for

• Photos. Required. Without access to your photo library there is nothing for Cleantific to analyse. iOS lets you grant access to your whole library or to selected photos only; Cleantific works either way, and only sees what you grant.

Cleantific does not ask for contacts, location, microphone, camera, or health data, and does not read them.

What we collect from the app

Nothing that identifies you, and nothing you type.

There is no account system, so we hold no email address, name, phone number, or device identifier from Cleantific itself.

Because Cleantific is distributed through TestFlight during the beta, Apple sits in the middle and collects some things we do not:

• Crash reports. If you turn on sharing with developers, Apple sends us crash logs. These describe where Cleantific stopped working. They contain no photos.
• Beta feedback. If you send feedback through TestFlight, we receive what you wrote, any screenshot you chose to attach, and the device and iOS version. A screenshot you attach yourself is the only image that ever reaches us, and only because you sent it.
• TestFlight metrics. Apple reports aggregate installation and session counts to us. We cannot tie these to a person.

Apple's own privacy policy governs all of that. See apple.com/legal/privacy.

What this website collects

This site is a set of static files. It has no server-side code, no login, no forms, and no comment system, so there is nothing here that can collect data about you directly.

• Hosting. Cloudflare serves this site. It processes request data, including IP addresses, to deliver pages and to protect against attacks. See cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
• Analytics. We plan to use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookieless. It sets no cookies, stores nothing on your device, and does not fingerprint or track you across sites. It reports page-level counts only.
• Cookies. This site sets no cookies of its own, and nothing on it asks for consent to set any. If that ever changes, this policy changes with it and a consent notice appears before the change takes effect.
• Fonts. The two typefaces are downloaded when the site is built and served from www.cleantific.app, so loading a page sends no request to Google.

Third parties we do not use

We do not use advertising networks, cross-site trackers, session recorders, heatmaps, social media pixels, or A/B testing tools. Nothing on this site or in Cleantific loads a third-party script for those purposes.

Children

Cleantific is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone. Because there is no account and no data collection, we have no records to identify or delete on request.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, data protection law may give you the right to ask for a copy of your personal data, to have it corrected, or to have it deleted.

We hold essentially nothing to hand over. What exists is what Apple passes to us through TestFlight, described above, and Apple's own tools govern that. If you want to exercise a right, write to us at the address below and we will explain what we do and do not hold, or tell you that the answer is nothing.

To be completed before publication: the identity and address of the data controller, the lawful bases relied on, retention periods for crash reports and beta feedback, the supervisory authority a complaint can be made to, and whether an EU or UK representative is required. A solicitor should fill these in.

Changes to this policy

If we change what Cleantific or this site does with data, we update this page and change the date at the top. Material changes will be announced in the app's release notes as well.
