Privacy Policy

Reclaim: Photo Cleaner — last updated 3 August 2026

  The short version: Reclaim analyses your photo library entirely on your iPhone.
  Your photos and videos are never uploaded, never sent to us, and never shared with anyone.
  There is no account and no sign-up.

Photos and videos

To find screenshots, duplicates, similar shots and large videos, Reclaim needs access to your photo library. Everything it reads — image data, file sizes, dates — is processed on your device and stays there.

Your photos and videos are never transmitted off your device.
We operate no servers that receive your content, because the app has no backend at all.
Deletion is performed by iOS itself, after the system's own confirmation prompt. Deleted items go to your Recently Deleted album for 30 days, where you can restore them.
Reclaim stores a small technical fingerprint of each photo on your device so repeat scans are fast. These fingerprints cannot be turned back into images and never leave your iPhone.

Information we do collect

Only what is strictly needed to know whether your subscription is active:

Purchase history. Purchases are processed by Apple. Our subscription provider (RevenueCat) receives a randomly generated identifier and the purchase details needed to unlock the features you paid for, and to show us aggregate subscription figures such as how many people subscribed or cancelled. That identifier is not linked to your name, email or Apple ID. We never see your payment card or billing address.

We collect nothing else. There is no in-app usage tracking, no advertising, no advertising or tracking SDKs, and no data is ever sold or shared for marketing.

Notifications

If you start a free trial, Reclaim can schedule a local reminder before the trial ends so you are not charged unexpectedly. This reminder is created and delivered by your device. You can decline notification permission or turn notifications off in iOS Settings at any time.

Children

Reclaim is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Your choices

You can revoke photo access at any time in Settings › Privacy & Security › Photos.
Deleting the app removes all data it stored on your device, including the fingerprint cache.
To request deletion of any analytics associated with your device, write to us using the address below.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that affects you, we will update this page and change the date at the top.
