Reclaim Privacy Policy
Reclaim works entirely on your device. Your photos and videos are never uploaded, and nothing about you is collected.
Data I collect
None. Reclaim has no servers, no accounts, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking code. I can't see your photo library or anything you do in the app, and I never track you across other companies' apps or websites.
How Reclaim uses your photo library
Reclaim asks for full access to your photo library so it can measure it. Everything below happens on your iPhone or iPad:
- It reads the size, type, date and other details of your photos and videos to find space you can free.
- It looks at small thumbnails with Apple's on-device Vision framework to find similar shots, duplicates, blurry photos and photos of documents.
- When you shrink an item that is stored only in iCloud, it downloads the original through Apple's Photos framework, compresses it on your device and saves the smaller copy back to your library. That download happens between your device and your own iCloud account, under Apple's Privacy Policy.
- It only deletes or replaces items after you review them and confirm in the standard iOS alert. Deleted items go to Recently Deleted in Photos, where you can recover them for 30 days.
Stored on your device
Reclaim keeps a few things on your device so it works faster and remembers your choices:
- Your settings and cleanup statistics (how much space you've freed).
- Which photos you chose to keep in Swipe, so you don't see them again.
- An analysis cache that makes later similar-photo scans fast.
- A short summary (such as how much you can free) for the Home Screen widget.
None of this leaves your device. Clear the cache in Settings → Clear Analysis Cache, reset statistics and Swipe progress in Settings → Reset Statistics & Swipe Progress, or delete the app to remove everything.
Permissions
Photos lets Reclaim measure, clean up and shrink your library. Notifications are only asked for if you turn on the monthly reminder, which is scheduled on your device. You can change both at any time in your device's Settings.
Children
Reclaim doesn't collect personal information from anyone, including children.
