Privacy Policy
Effective date: 12 November 2026 · PhotoSorter: Swipe & Tidy
Who is responsible?
Mark Docherty is an independent developer based in Switzerland. This policy covers PhotoSorter and the support website.
PhotoSorter: Swipe & Tidy (called SwipeClean inside the app) is provided by Mark Docherty. For privacy questions or support, contact support.
Your photo library
With your permission, the app reads accessible photos and albums so you can review them. Photos and your keep/delete selections are processed on your device. We do not receive or upload your photos or photo metadata to our servers. Apple Photos may download originals from iCloud according to your Apple settings.
Your choices and deletion
Swiping left only marks a photo. You can undo a swipe or tap a marked photo in Final review to keep it. Deletion is requested only after you explicitly confirm. Deleting removes photos from your library and albums and may sync to other devices through iCloud Photos. Recovery is managed by Apple Photos and is not guaranteed by this app.
Storage and sharing
The app is free and has no account system or separate developer analytics service.
Advertising and purchases
PhotoSorter requests non-personalised banner ads through Google AdMob after you allow tracking in the iOS prompt and complete any required ad privacy choices. Google may process device identifiers for advertising and measurement across apps and websites, along with approximate location inferred from IP address, ad and app interactions, and diagnostics. You can change your tracking choice in iPhone Settings and revisit ad privacy choices in the app’s Options menu where available. PhotoSorter works with tracking turned off. See how Google uses data for advertising.
Apple handles payments for the optional one-time Remove Ads purchase. PhotoSorter uses purchase entitlement information to enable and restore ad removal. See the Apple Privacy Policy.
Photos, videos, and review selections stay on your device. Review selections are held temporarily in memory and are not saved as a review history. Apple Photos manages the photo library and its caches. Apple may process App Store, TestFlight, and diagnostic information under its own privacy policies and your settings.
Permissions and your rights
You can change or revoke photo access in iPhone Settings. Limited access restricts the app to photos you allow. Use our support link for questions or applicable privacy rights, including access, correction, or deletion of personal information you have sent us.
Support emails
If you email us, we receive your email address, message, and any attachments you choose to send. We use these to respond and resolve your request, retain them only as needed for support and applicable legal obligations, and process them through our email provider, Swizzonic. Please avoid sending private photos or sensitive information unless needed for your request.
Changes
This policy describes the current app. We will update it if its data practices change. Last updated: 12 November 2026.
International processing
Google, Apple and our website hosting provider Netlify operate globally and may process information outside Switzerland and the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Their privacy policies explain processing locations and applicable transfer safeguards. Support correspondence is processed through Swizzonic and its service providers.
This website
This site is hosted by Netlify. When you visit, technical request information such as your IP address and browser information may be processed to deliver and secure the site.
