Your photos stay on your phone.
Last updated 5 October 2026
Swipe Clean is an iPhone app made by NJM Digital (run by Nick, in Australia). This policy explains what the app does with your information. I follow the Australian Privacy Principles.
Your photos
Swipe Clean asks for access to your photo library so you can choose what to keep or delete. Your photos are only looked at on your phone. They are never uploaded, copied or sent to me or anyone else. Nothing is deleted until you review the bin and confirm, and iOS asks you to confirm again.
What the app stores on your phone
- Which photos you've already kept or put in the bin, so you can pick up where you left off.
- How many swipes you've used today, and whether you've bought Unlimited.
This stays on your phone. I can't see it. Deleting the app removes it.
No account, nothing collected by me
There's no sign-up. I don't collect your name, email, location or photos through the app, and I don't run my own analytics.
Ads in the free version
The free version shows ads from Google AdMob. To show and measure ads, Google may collect information from your device, such as your advertising identifier, IP address, device and app details, and how you interact with ads. This is covered by Google's privacy policy. Google never receives your photos.
- Where the law requires it (for example the EU and UK), you'll see a consent message before ads load.
- iOS will ask whether the app can track you across other companies' apps and websites. You can say no and still use the app. Ads will just be less relevant.
- You can change this at any time in iOS Settings, under Privacy & Security, then Tracking.
- Buying Unlimited removes all ads and stops the ad service starting.
Purchases
The Unlimited purchase is handled by Apple. I never see your card or payment details. Apple tells the app that the purchase was made, and nothing else about you.
Crash reports
If you've chosen to share app analytics with developers in iOS Settings, Apple may pass me anonymous crash reports. I can't identify you from them.
Children
Swipe Clean isn't designed for children under 13, and I don't knowingly collect information from them.
Overseas
Google may process ad data outside Australia, including in the United States.
Your choices
Because I don't collect personal information through the app, there's usually nothing for me to show or delete. If you have a question or a concern, email [email protected], and I'll respond within 30 days.
If you're not happy with how I've handled a privacy concern, please tell me first so I can fix it. You can also contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.
Changes
If this changes, I'll update this page and the date at the top.
