Privacy Policy

Effective date: March 4, 2026

PicButler: Photo Cleaner ("PicButler", "we", "our") is designed with a simple principle: your photos never leave your device.

What we access

PicButler accesses your photo library through Apple's PhotoKit framework to:

• Scan photos to detect duplicates, similar images, and screenshots
• Analyze image quality (sharpness, lighting, resolution) to recommend the best version
• Delete photos you choose to remove (with your explicit confirmation each time)

What we collect

No photos, no personal data. All photo scanning, analysis, and scoring happens entirely on your iPhone. No photos, metadata, thumbnails, hashes, or analysis results are ever uploaded to any server.

Analytics

PicButler uses TelemetryDeck for anonymous, aggregated analytics. This helps us understand how the app is used (e.g., how many scans are completed) so we can improve it.

• No personal identifiers are collected
• No advertising SDKs or tracking services
• Analytics data cannot be linked to your identity
• We see trends and counts, not individual users

No accounts

PicButler does not require login, registration, or any personal information. There is no account to create and no data to link to your identity.

Subscriptions

All payment processing is handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. PicButler never sees, stores, or has access to your payment information, Apple ID, or billing details.

On-device storage

Scan results are stored locally on your device as a small data file. This file contains only photo identifiers and quality scores — not the photos themselves. This data never leaves your device and is deleted when you uninstall the app.

Your control

• You can revoke photo library access at any time in iOS Settings > PicButler
• Photos are only deleted with your explicit confirmation through the iOS system prompt
• Deleted photos go to your Recently Deleted album for 30 days before permanent removal
• Uninstalling the app removes all locally stored data

Children's privacy

PicButler does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone, including children under 13.

Changes to this policy

If we update this policy, the revised version will be posted at this URL with an updated effective date.
