PhotoCleaner Privacy Policy

App name: PhotoCleaner / Lighten / 轻相册

Effective date: June 13, 2026

Contact: cule147@163.com

This Privacy Policy explains how PhotoCleaner handles photos, photo metadata, face-related processing, and other data. PhotoCleaner is designed as an on-device photo management tool. We do not operate a server for collecting user photos or analysis results.

Summary

  • PhotoCleaner processes your photo library only after you grant Photos permission.
  • Photo analysis, scoring, grouping, duplicate checks, blur detection, screenshot classification, and face-related detection are performed on your device.
  • We do not upload your photos, thumbnails, face data, face detection results, scores, or photo metadata to our servers.
  • We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties.
  • We do not use tracking and do not integrate third-party analytics, advertising SDKs, or third-party AI services.

Photos Permission

PhotoCleaner asks for access to your Photos library so it can help you analyze, organize, delete, convert, and manage photos and videos. You may grant full or limited Photos access through iOS.

The app reads photo and video assets only for features you use, such as local quality scoring, blur detection, duplicate grouping, screenshot classification, Live Photo conversion, HEIC conversion, video compression, and smart album views.

The app writes to your Photos library only when you explicitly perform an action that requires writing, such as saving a converted image or video. The app deletes items only after you explicitly choose a delete or cleanup action.

PhotoCleaner uses Apple on-device Vision APIs to detect whether a photo appears to contain a face and to estimate local face capture quality. This processing is used only to improve local photo quality scoring and to help protect photos containing faces from being automatically selected for deletion.

PhotoCleaner does not collect, upload, share, sell, or use face data for tracking or advertising. The app does not perform face recognition, does not identify people, and does not create biometric identifiers, faceprints, face templates, facial geometry profiles, or identity labels.

Face-related analysis results are not sent to any server. The app may keep a local, on-device cache such as a photo's local identifier, quality score, and a simple face-present flag so that it does not need to rescan the same item repeatedly. This cache stays on your device and is used only for app functionality.

Data Processed Locally

Depending on the features you use, PhotoCleaner may process the following information on your device:

  • Photos, videos, thumbnails, and related media data from the Photos library you authorized.
  • Photo metadata available through iOS Photos, such as local asset identifiers, media type, favorite status, file size, creation time, and media subtype.
  • Local analysis results, such as quality scores, blur indicators, exposure indicators, screenshot or utility classification, duplicate grouping information, and whether a face appears to be present.
  • App settings stored in iOS UserDefaults, such as whether face-photo protection is enabled.

All of the above data is processed for PhotoCleaner features and remains on your device. It is not uploaded to our servers.

iCloud Photos

If your Photos library uses iCloud Photos, iOS may download originals or thumbnails from Apple iCloud when PhotoCleaner requests an item that is not currently stored on your device. This is controlled by Apple's Photos and iCloud services. PhotoCleaner does not upload those photos to our servers.

Third-Party Services

PhotoCleaner does not include third-party analytics SDKs, advertising SDKs, third-party AI services, or tracking SDKs. The app does not use collected data for cross-app tracking.

When you tap a feedback option, your email client may open with our support email address pre-filled. Any email you send is sent by you through your own email provider and may include information you choose to provide.

Data Retention

Local app settings and local analysis caches remain on your device to support app functionality and improve performance. You can remove this local data by deleting the app from your device. Some data may also be refreshed or replaced when you rescan your library.

Items deleted through PhotoCleaner are handled by iOS Photos and may appear in the system Recently Deleted album according to Apple's Photos behavior.

Children's Privacy

PhotoCleaner is a general photo management utility and is not directed to children for the purpose of collecting personal information. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the app changes or when legal, platform, or operational requirements change. Updates will be posted on this page with a new effective date.

本隐私政策说明 PhotoCleaner 如何处理照片、照片元数据、面部相关处理以及其他数据。PhotoCleaner 是一款以本机处理为核心的相册整理工具。我们不运营用于收集用户照片或分析结果的服务器。

概要

  • PhotoCleaner 仅在您授权相册权限后处理您的照片库。
  • 照片分析、评分、分组、重复检测、模糊检测、截图分类和面部相关检测均在您的设备本地完成。
  • 我们不会将您的照片、缩略图、面部数据、面部检测结果、评分或照片元数据上传到我们的服务器。
  • 我们不会出售、出租或与第三方共享您的个人数据。
  • 我们不进行追踪,也未集成第三方统计 SDK、广告 SDK 或第三方 AI 服务。

相册权限

PhotoCleaner 请求访问您的相册,是为了帮助您分析、整理、删除、转换和管理照片与视频。您可以通过 iOS 授予完整或有限相册访问权限。

应用仅在您使用相关功能时读取照片和视频资源,例如本地质量评分、模糊检测、重复分组、截图分类、Live Photo 转换、HEIC 转换、视频压缩和智能相册视图。

应用仅在您明确执行需要写入的操作时写入相册,例如保存转换后的图片或视频。应用仅在您明确选择删除或清理操作后删除项目。

PhotoCleaner 使用 Apple 设备端 Vision API 检测照片中是否可能包含人脸,并估算本地的人脸拍摄质量。该处理仅用于改进本地照片质量评分,并帮助保护含有人脸的照片,避免其被自动选中删除。

PhotoCleaner 不收集、不上传、不共享、不出售面部数据,也不会将面部数据用于追踪或广告。应用不进行人脸识别,不识别具体人物,也不会创建生物特征标识、人脸特征模板、人脸指纹、面部几何轮廓或身份标签。

面部相关分析结果不会发送到任何服务器。应用可能会在设备本地保留缓存,例如照片本地标识符、质量评分和简单的是否含有人脸标记,以避免重复扫描同一项目。该缓存仅保存在您的设备上,并且仅用于应用功能。

本地处理的数据

根据您使用的功能,PhotoCleaner 可能会在您的设备本地处理以下信息:

  • 您授权访问的照片库中的照片、视频、缩略图和相关媒体数据。
  • iOS Photos 提供的照片元数据,例如本地资源标识符、媒体类型、收藏状态、文件大小、创建时间和媒体子类型。
  • 本地分析结果,例如质量评分、模糊标记、曝光标记、截图或工具类图片分类、重复分组信息,以及是否可能包含人脸。
  • 存储在 iOS UserDefaults 中的应用设置,例如是否开启人脸照片保护。

上述数据均用于 PhotoCleaner 的应用功能,并保留在您的设备上,不会上传到我们的服务器。

iCloud 照片

如果您的照片库使用 iCloud 照片,当 PhotoCleaner 请求设备本地尚未保存的项目时,iOS 可能会从 Apple iCloud 下载原图或缩略图。这由 Apple Photos 与 iCloud 服务控制。PhotoCleaner 不会将这些照片上传到我们的服务器。

第三方服务

PhotoCleaner 不包含第三方统计 SDK、广告 SDK、第三方 AI 服务或追踪 SDK。应用不会将收集的数据用于跨应用追踪。

当您点击反馈选项时,系统邮件客户端可能会打开并预填我们的支持邮箱。您发送的任何邮件都由您通过自己的邮件服务商发送,并可能包含您自行选择提供的信息。

数据保留

本地应用设置和本地分析缓存会保留在您的设备上,以支持应用功能并提升性能。您可以通过删除本应用来移除这些本地数据。部分数据也可能在您重新扫描照片库时刷新或替换。

通过 PhotoCleaner 删除的项目由 iOS Photos 处理,并可能根据 Apple Photos 的系统行为出现在“最近删除”相簿中。

儿童隐私

PhotoCleaner 是通用照片管理工具,并非以收集儿童个人信息为目的面向儿童。我们不会有意收集儿童个人信息。

政策更新

当应用功能、法律要求、平台要求或运营情况发生变化时,我们可能会更新本隐私政策。更新内容会发布在本页面,并标明新的生效日期。
