Swiper App
Last Updated: January 2026
Welcome to Swiper ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how we collect, use, and protect your information. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding data collection and usage when you use our mobile application.
By using Swiper, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. We do not collect, store, or transmit your personal photos or data to any external servers.
Swiper requires access to your device's Photo Library to function. We request read and write permissions to:
Important: All photos remain on your device. We never upload, store, transmit, or access your photos on any external server or cloud service. Your photos are processed locally on your device only.
We collect minimal usage data stored locally on your device:
This data is stored locally using iOS UserDefaults and is never transmitted to external servers.
Swiper may request permission to send you notifications. Notifications can be local (scheduled by the app on your device) or push (delivered via Apple's Push Notification service). We use notifications to:
Data and Permissions: If you enable notifications, your device may generate a push notification token. If used, this token is a device-specific identifier for delivering push notifications and does not contain personal information. We do not include your personal photos or their contents in notifications.
You can control notification permissions at any time in your device Settings. Disabling notifications will prevent future alerts but will not affect your ability to use the app.
To help us understand app performance and improve stability and features, we use Firebase services that may collect the following types of information:
These analytics and diagnostics are used solely to monitor app performance, troubleshoot problems, and guide product improvements. We do not use this data for advertising purposes.
If you purchase a Premium subscription, subscription management is handled by RevenueCat, a third-party service. RevenueCat may collect:
We do not have access to your payment information, which is processed securely through Apple's App Store.
We use the information we collect solely for the following purposes:
We do not: Sell your data, share your information with third parties for advertising, use your photos for any purpose other than local display and deletion, or track your activity across other apps or websites.
Your Controls: Where applicable, you can manage analytics permissions in your device Settings. If we provide an in-app setting to limit analytics, it will affect future data collection but will not delete previously collected, aggregated data.
All data collected by Swiper is stored locally on your device using iOS UserDefaults. This includes:
We do not store any of your data on external servers or cloud services. Your photos, preferences, and usage data remain exclusively on your device.
If you opt in to push notifications, your device may generate a push notification token to enable delivery via Apple's Push Notification service (APNs). This token may be processed by our notification provider solely for the purpose of sending notifications and is not used to identify you personally. You can revoke notification permission at any time in Settings.
While your photos and app preferences remain on your device, certain diagnostics and analytics data (such as crash reports and aggregated usage metrics) may be processed by Firebase on their servers to provide analytics and crash reporting services. This data does not include your personal photos.
Your photos are never uploaded or transmitted anywhere. They remain in your device's Photo Library, and when you delete photos through Swiper, they are deleted from your device's Photo Library only.
Swiper uses the following third-party services:
We use Google Firebase to help us analyze app usage, manage remote configuration, and diagnose crashes. Firebase may collect device and app information such as device model, OS version, app version, coarse location (if provided by the OS), and identifiers used for analytics and crash reporting. We do not share your personal photos with Firebase.
For more information, please review Google's Privacy Policy and the Firebase Privacy and Security documentation.
We use RevenueCat to manage Premium subscriptions. RevenueCat's privacy practices are governed by their own Privacy Policy. RevenueCat may collect:
For more information, please review RevenueCat's Privacy Policy.
Subscriptions are processed through Apple's App Store. Apple handles all payment processing and may collect payment information in accordance with their privacy policy. We do not have access to your payment details.
For push notifications, we use Apple's Push Notification service (APNs). APNs uses a device-specific token to route notifications to your device. This token does not reveal your identity or the contents of your photos. Notification delivery respects your system settings and preferences.
As an iOS app, Swiper operates within Apple's ecosystem and may use Apple's standard services (such as iCloud for app data backup if enabled by you). This is subject to Apple's privacy policies. Analytics collection respects your device privacy settings (for example, Limit Ad Tracking and system analytics settings).
You have the following rights regarding your data:
All data stored by Swiper is accessible through your device. You can view and manage your app preferences directly within the app's Settings.
You can delete all locally stored data at any time:
You can revoke Photo Library access at any time through your device Settings:
Note: Revoking access will prevent the app from functioning, as it requires Photo Library access to operate.
You can change notification preferences at any time:
You can cancel your Premium subscription at any time through your Apple App Store account settings. Cancellation will take effect at the end of your current billing period.
Swiper is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.
If we discover that we have collected information from a child under 13, we will delete that information promptly.
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by:
You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.

We will respond to your privacy-related inquiries within a reasonable timeframe.
