Photowise: AI Album & Cleanup — Privacy Policy

---

1. Introduction

The mobile application Photowise: AI Album & Cleanup (listed on the App Store under this name) is referred to in this policy as Photowise, we, us, or our app. Photowise takes your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information. By using the app, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information We Collect

Photowise: AI Album & Cleanup is a local photo management and cleanup tool. We only collect the following necessary information on your device:

1. Photo Library Access
   • We request access to your photo library to identify screenshots and screen recordings, to organize photos into albums when you choose to use those features, and to apply changes you confirm (such as deletion or moving items into albums).
   • We access photo metadata (such as creation date, modification date, media type) and identifiers as needed for these features.
   • We do not upload your photo content to our servers. Processing needed for the app’s features runs on your device.
2. Identification and Classification Cache
   • We may store results locally (for example, labels or classification outputs tied to photo identifiers) to improve performance and avoid redundant work.
   • This information is used only on your device to power app features.
3. Cleanup History Statistics
   • We record cleanup history locally, including items such as number of deleted photos, freed storage statistics, cleanup time, and related summaries.
   • This data is used to display results in the app; older history may be removed according to app logic (for example, retaining roughly the last six months where applicable).
4. Optional Home Screen Widget
   • If you add the Photowise widget, the app may write summarized data (such as small thumbnails and metadata you already generated in the app) into an Apple App Group container on your device so the widget can display it.
   • That data stays on your device and is not sent to our servers by Photowise.

2.2 Information We Do NOT Collect

• We do not operate a Photowise account system in the app for the purpose of collecting your name, email, or phone number.
• We do not collect location for advertising or tracking.
• We do not sell your data. We do not use your information for third-party advertising or analytics services.

3. How We Use Information

3.1 Purpose of Use

We use the information described above only to:

1. Identify screenshots and screen recordings and support cleanup flows you initiate
2. Organize or manage albums when you choose those actions
3. Show statistics and history inside the app
4. Cache results locally to improve performance
5. Support the optional widget with on-device prepared summaries

3.2 Usage Restrictions

We commit to:

• No advertising use of your information as described here
• No marketing profiling based on your library
• No purposes beyond what this policy describes

4. Information Storage

4.1 Storage Location

Information is stored locally on your device, including in app-managed files (for example, caches and history), in the App Group container shared with the optional Photowise widget, and in standard on-device preferences where applicable. Photowise does not require you to sign in to a cloud service we operate for these features.

4.2 Stored Content

We focus on storing identifiers, summaries, and statistics—not full-resolution copies of your library for upload. We do not use Photowise to upload your photo pixels to servers we control.

4.3 Data Retention

• Caches: Retained until you delete the app, clear data, or the app replaces them as part of normal operation
• Cleanup history: May be limited to a rolling window (for example, about the last six months) where implemented

5. Information Sharing

5.1 No Sharing by Photowise: AI Album & Cleanup

The app is designed so that we do not receive your photo library on our servers as part of normal app operation. We do not sell your personal information. We do not share your information with advertisers or analytics providers as part of Photowise.

5.2 Local Processing

Core processing for the features described runs on your device. Apple system frameworks (for example, PhotoKit) operate under Apple’s own terms and device policies.

6. Data Security

6.1 Security Measures

• Data remains under iOS device protections (sandbox, permissions you grant)
• Sensitive content is not something we aim to extract to the cloud via Photowise

6.2 Data Deletion

You can:

• Change or revoke photo access in iOS Settings
• Delete the app to remove app sandbox data; widget-related shared container data may also be removed or become inaccessible depending on iOS behavior

7. Your Rights

7.1 Access and Control

You can manage permissions in iOS Settings, stop using the app, or delete the app. You may contact us using the details below if you have questions.

8. Children's Privacy

This app is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in a way that requires parental consent under applicable rules. If you believe we should address a specific case, please contact us.

9. Privacy Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy. For material changes, we may notify you through the app or other reasonable means. Continued use after updates may mean you accept the revised policy.
