Privacy Policy
In short: Quiet Clean does not collect any data. Your photos and videos are analyzed on your iPhone and never leave it. There are no accounts, no analytics, no ads and no tracking.
Who we are
Quiet Clean is made by Joshua Young (publishing as Boxwick). In this policy, "we" means the developer of Quiet Clean.
Your photos and videos
- Quiet Clean asks for access to your photo library so it can find duplicates, similar shots and large videos. You can change this access at any time in iOS Settings.
- All analysis, such as comparing photos and judging sharpness, happens on your iPhone using Apple's built-in frameworks.
- Quiet Clean does not upload, copy or send your photos, videos or anything about them to us or to anyone else. The app has no servers of its own.
- If you use iCloud Photos and open an item whose full-size version is stored only in iCloud, iOS may download it from Apple so you can view it. That happens between your device and Apple under Apple's privacy policy. Quiet Clean never sends anything to iCloud itself.
Deleting and shrinking items
Quiet Clean only removes or replaces items after you confirm, through Apple's own system prompt. Removed items go to the Recently Deleted album in the Photos app, where you can recover them for 30 days before iOS removes them permanently. When you make a video smaller, the new copy is created on your iPhone and the original goes to Recently Deleted.
Data stored on your device
To work properly, Quiet Clean keeps a small amount of information in its own storage on your iPhone, such as your current selections and a record of its cleanups. This stays on your device (and in your own device backups, if you use them). We cannot see it. Deleting the app removes it.
Purchases
In-app purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive or store your name, payment details or Apple Account information. The app checks with Apple's StoreKit on your device to confirm whether you've unlocked it. See Apple's privacy policy for how Apple handles purchases.
What we don't do
- No accounts or sign-in.
- No analytics, crash-reporting or advertising tools, and no third-party SDKs.
- No tracking across apps or websites, and no advertising identifier.
- No selling or sharing of data, because we don't collect any.
Children
Quiet Clean is not directed at children and collects no personal information from anyone, including children.
If you email us
If you contact support, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to write, and use it only to reply to you. Please don't send photos unless you want to.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the effective date above. If the app ever starts collecting data, this page will say so before that version is released.
