Privacy Policy

Overview

Gallery Sweep ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our mobile application ("the App"). Gallery Sweep is designed to help you organize and clean up your photo library locally on your device.

Information Collection and Use

Personal Information

We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information. Gallery Sweep operates entirely locally on your device and does not require user accounts, registration, or any form of personal data collection.

Photo and Media Access

The App accesses your device's photo library solely for the following purposes:

• Analyzing metadata and file properties to categorize photos by source (WhatsApp, camera, downloads, screenshots, etc.)
• Displaying thumbnail previews for your review
• Enabling you to delete selected photos at your direction
• Calculating storage space usage and potential savings

Important: All photo analysis occurs locally on your device. Your photos are never uploaded, transmitted, or shared with our servers or any third parties.

Local Data Storage

The App may store minimal technical information locally on your device, including:

• Analysis results and photo categorizations (for faster subsequent scans)
• User preferences and settings
• Statistics about deleted photos and storage saved

This data remains on your device and can be cleared by uninstalling the App or clearing the app's data in your device settings.

Permissions Requested

Gallery Sweep requests the following permissions to function properly:

• Photos/Media/Files Access: Required to read photo metadata, display thumbnails, and delete photos at your request
• Storage Access: Needed on some Android versions to access the photo library

You have full control over these permissions and can revoke them at any time through your device settings. However, the App cannot function without photo library access.

Data Security

Since all processing occurs locally on your device and we do not collect or transmit any data, there are no data security risks related to external data transmission or storage. Your photos and information remain under your complete control at all times.

Third-Party Services

Gallery Sweep does not integrate with any third-party services, analytics platforms, advertising networks, or cloud services. The App operates independently and does not share data with any external parties.

Children's Privacy

Our App is not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will immediately delete such information.

Your Rights and Choices

Since we do not collect personal data, there are no data rights to exercise in the traditional sense. However, you have complete control over:

• Granting or revoking photo library permissions
• Choosing which photos to delete
• Clearing locally stored app data
• Uninstalling the App at any time

International Data Transfers

Since Gallery Sweep operates entirely locally on your device and does not transmit any data, there are no international data transfers to disclose.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.

If we make material changes that significantly affect your privacy rights, we will provide additional notice through the App or other appropriate means.

Compliance

This Privacy Policy is designed to comply with applicable privacy laws, including:

• General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
• California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
• Apple App Store Review Guidelines
• Google Play Developer Policy
