Privacy Policy

1. Who is responsible

2. Photos library data

When you grant Photos access, SpaceAI reads metadata and requests image or video content needed to identify duplicates, visually similar photos, screenshots, screen recordings, and large videos. This processing occurs locally on your device. A private local index and visual fingerprints may be stored in the app's sandbox to make future scans faster. Removing the app and its data removes that local index.

SpaceAI uses Apple's public Photos APIs for deletion. It does not delete without your selection and final system confirmation. Deletions can propagate through iCloud Photos and Shared Photo Library and may remain recoverable in Recently Deleted.

3. Advertising attribution and analytics

A release build may include Meta App Events for paid-install attribution, app-launch measurement and verified initial purchase or trial events. Before Apple presents its tracking permission prompt, SpaceAI explains the purpose. Meta collection is initialized only if you authorize tracking through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. If authorized, a device identifier, install or launch events, and purchase information (product, transaction identifier, amount and currency) may be linked and used for third-party advertising, analytics, and app functionality. SpaceAI does not send photo-library content or cleanup activity to Meta.

If you turn on “Help improve SpaceAI,” Google Analytics for Firebase receives events such as opening the app, the Photos permission decision, scan stages, opening a comparison or selection review, completing or cancelling a cleanup, viewing Pro, and a verified purchase or trial milestone. Events include an iteration label and whether the installation was new or existing when this measurement was introduced. They do not contain photo identifiers, filenames, media, selected items, storage amounts, exact location, or transaction identifiers supplied by SpaceAI.

Google Analytics also processes a pseudonymous app-instance identifier, general location estimated from IP addresses, and technical app/device and session information, and may record automatic events such as purchases and engagement. It does not access Apple's Location Services. This is pseudonymous, not anonymous, measurement. SpaceAI uses the Analytics SDK without IDFA support, disables IDFV collection and automatic screen reporting, and denies advertising storage, advertising user data and ad personalization for this measurement. We do not set an account-based user ID or link this measurement to Meta.

Usage collection starts only after your optional in-app consent. SpaceAI does not queue or replay its custom usage milestones from before consent; automatic SDK events may describe the app's first launch when measurement is enabled. You can turn it off under Usage & Privacy; doing so stops new collection and resets the local analytics identifier. It does not automatically erase events already received by Google. Declining usage measurement does not affect free or paid features. Apple may separately provide aggregated App Store and opted-in diagnostic reports under its platform settings.

4. Purposes and legal bases

• Provide the app: on-device Photos processing and local settings are necessary to deliver features you request.
• Maintain reliability: limited diagnostics may be used for our legitimate interest in fixing crashes and improving performance, subject to applicable law and platform controls.
• Advertising attribution: tracking is based on your optional permission. You can decline or later change it in iOS Settings without losing app functionality.
• Product usage measurement: based on your optional, revocable in-app consent, to understand where people encounter difficulty and whether they complete useful cleanups.
• Support: if you email us, we process your message and contact details to answer the request.

5. Service providers and transfers

Apple processes App Store purchases, subscriptions, distribution, and platform services under Apple's terms and privacy policy. If you authorize tracking, Meta Platforms may process attribution data under its own privacy terms, including outside your country. We do not give either provider your raw Photos content.

If you enable usage measurement, Google processes analytics data, potentially outside your country, under the applicable Google Analytics data-processing terms. See Google's Privacy Policy and Firebase privacy information. No raw Photos content is sent to Google.

6. Retention

Local scan data remains in the app sandbox until it is replaced, cleared by the app or operating system, or the app and its data are removed. Support correspondence is kept only as long as reasonably needed to resolve the request and meet legal obligations. Diagnostic and attribution retention is governed by the relevant provider settings and policies.

7. Your choices and rights

You can change Photos and tracking permissions in iOS Settings, turn off optional usage measurement inside SpaceAI under Usage & Privacy, remove local app data by deleting the app, and manage subscriptions through Apple. Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict, object to, or receive a copy of personal data we control, and to complain to a data-protection authority. Contact us at the email above to exercise a right. We may need to verify your request.

8. Children

SpaceAI is not directed to children and we do not knowingly collect raw media from any user. Parents or guardians who believe a child has sent us personal information may contact us to request deletion.

9. Changes

We may update this policy when the app, providers, or legal requirements change. The effective date above identifies the current version. Material changes will be communicated through an appropriate product or store notice.
