Tidy: Duplicate Photo Cleaner

Last updated: 18 October 2026

Tidy finds duplicate, similar, blurry and unwanted photos and videos so you can delete them. It is made by SGWNI, a one-person app studio (“I”, “me”). This policy explains what information the app handles and where it goes.

In short

  • Your photos are analysed on your device and never uploaded. I have no servers that could receive them.
  • Nothing is deleted until you confirm, and deleted items stay in Recently Deleted in Photos for 30 days.
  • Purchases go through Apple. Tidy uses RevenueCat to check whether you have Tidy Pro, which receives an anonymous ID and your purchase history, never your photos.
  • There are no accounts, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. Nothing is sold.

Your Photos

  • Tidy asks for access to your photo library to look for photos you might want to delete, and to delete the ones you choose. Full or limited access both work.
  • Photos are analysed on your device with Apple’s Vision framework. They are never uploaded.
  • To make rescans quick, Tidy keeps a small summary of each photo (a fingerprint used for matching) in the app’s own storage on your device. It is never uploaded. You can delete it in Settings › Clear scan data, or by deleting the app.
  • Nothing is deleted without your confirmation. Deleted items go to Recently Deleted in the Photos app, where they stay for 30 days.

Purchases

Purchases are made through Apple. I never see your payment details.

Tidy uses RevenueCat to check whether you have Tidy Pro. RevenueCat receives an anonymous app user ID generated on your device, your purchase history and basic device information (such as the iOS version and the country of your App Store account). It never receives your photos. See RevenueCat’s privacy policy.

What Tidy Doesn’t Do

  • No accounts or sign-in.
  • No advertising.
  • No analytics or tracking, and no data sold or shared with data brokers.

Your Rights

Depending on where you live, including under the UK and EU General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to ask what information is held about you, and to have it corrected or deleted. I hold no information about you from the app. Purchase records are kept by Apple and RevenueCat; if you email me, I keep your message only as long as needed to answer it.

Children

Tidy does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.
