Privacy Policy

Gigabye by Mintwhale · Last updated 2 November 2026

The short version

Gigabye works entirely on your iPhone. We don't collect, store, upload or see your photos or any personal information.

What the app reads

To find clutter, Gigabye reads your photo library on your iPhone, including file details (size, date, type) and the text inside images (to recognise screenshots, greetings and documents). This is done by Apple's on-device frameworks. The results are saved only on your iPhone, in the app's own storage, and are removed when you delete the app.

What we collect

Nothing. The app has no sign-in, no advertising, no analytics, no tracking and no third-party SDKs. It does not send your photos, the text in them or any other personal information to us or anyone else.

Purchases

In-app purchases are handled entirely by Apple. We never see your name, Apple Account or payment details. Apple tells the app only which purchase is active on your device.

Deleting, hiding and changing photos

Nothing is changed without your confirmation, and iOS asks you to confirm every deletion. Deleted items go to Recently Deleted in the Photos app, where you can restore them for 30 days.

Files you create

PDFs you create from documents are saved on your iPhone in the Files app. They are only shared if you choose to share them.

Feedback you send us

If you email us or send a suggestion, we receive what you choose to write and your email address. We use it only to reply to you and to improve our apps, and we never sell or share it.

Children

The app does not collect information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date above.
