privacy policy

Last updated: October 15, 2026

The Swypic Team ("we," "us," or "our") respects the privacy of our users ("user" or "you"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application, Swypic (the "Application").

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using the Application, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Collection of Data

a. Permissions (Gallery & Media Access)

We request access to your device's photo gallery and media library.

• Local Processing Only: This access is strictly necessary for the core functionality of the Application (browsing, organizing, filtering, and deleting photos/videos).

• No Server Uploads: We do NOT upload, store, or transmit your photos or videos to any external server or cloud service. All media scanning and file operations occur entirely on your local device.

• Deletion Handling: Any deletion actions are performed directly via standard operating system confirmation dialogues (e.g., moving items to your system's "Recently Deleted" album).

b. Device & Diagnostic Data

To monitor app stability and resolve issues, we may collect technical data such as:

• Device model, manufacturer, and operating system version.

• App version and crash diagnostics (stack traces, crash logs).

• Performance metrics.

c. Usage Analytics

We collect aggregated, non-personally identifiable usage data (e.g., features interacted with, session duration, swipe counts) to improve user experience.

d. Financial & Subscription Data

All financial transactions for "Premium" subscriptions are processed directly through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. We do not collect or store your payment card numbers or billing addresses. Subscription statuses are verified via RevenueCat.

2. Third-Party Services and SDKs

We integrate trusted third-party services that process certain non-personal identifiers and diagnostic information:

• Google AdMob (Advertising):

We use AdMob to serve ads in the free version. AdMob may collect and process device advertising identifiers (such as Apple IDFA or Google Advertising ID) to serve contextual or personalized ads in compliance with your tracking consent.

• Firebase Analytics & Firebase Crashlytics (Google LLC):

We use Firebase services to collect anonymous analytics data and real-time crash reports to diagnose bugs and improve app reliability.

• RevenueCat (In-App Subscription Management):

We use RevenueCat to validate purchase receipts and manage in-app subscriptions across platforms. RevenueCat processes anonymous app user identifiers and transaction timestamps.

3. Tracking and Privacy Preferences (iOS ATT & Consent)

On iOS devices (iOS 14.5+), we request your permission via the App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework before delivering personalized advertisements.

• If you select "Ask App not to Track", we do not access your advertising identifier (IDFA) for cross-app tracking, and you will only see non-personalized ads.

• You can update your tracking and privacy preferences at any time in your device's Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.

4. Data Retention and Deletion

• Because Swypic does not require account creation and processes all media locally, we do not maintain a remote database containing your personal identity or photos.

• Third-party diagnostic and analytics logs are retained in accordance with the standard retention policies of Firebase and RevenueCat (typically anonymized and purged after 90–360 days).

• If you wish to request deletion of any diagnostic/support identifiers associated with your device, you can contact us at the email provided below.

5. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

The Application is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the European Economic Area). We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from children. If we discover that personal data has been inadvertently collected from a child, we will take immediate steps to delete such data.

6. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA/CPRA)

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access or receive a copy of any personal data processed about you.

• Request the correction or deletion of your data.

• Opt-out of the processing of your data for targeted advertising.

To exercise these rights, please contact us directly.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy periodically. We will notify you of any changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this document.
