Photo Cleaner: Swipe & Tidy Terms of Use
Last updated: March 2026
Welcome to Photo Cleaner
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of Photo Cleaner: Swipe & Tidy, an AI-powered photo gallery cleaning app developed by Darkmaster's Pottery. By downloading, accessing, or using our app, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By using Photo Cleaner, you confirm that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
2. App Description and Features

3. Photo Management Disclaimer
Important Information About Photo Deletion
- Your Decision: Photo Cleaner suggests photos for review — all deletion decisions are yours
- AI Suggestions: AI-detected "blurry" or "duplicate" labels are suggestions, not guarantees of photo quality
- Review Required: All deletions require your explicit confirmation on a review screen
- Recently Deleted: Deleted photos move to iOS "Recently Deleted" album with 30-day recovery
- No Permanent Delete: Photo Cleaner never permanently deletes photos — iOS handles final removal after 30 days
- Responsibility: You are responsible for reviewing photos before confirming deletion
While Photo Cleaner uses advanced on-device AI to identify blurry and duplicate photos, no AI system is perfect. Always review the deletion queue before confirming. We are not responsible for photos deleted after your confirmation.
4. User Responsibilities
Acceptable Use
You agree to use Photo Cleaner only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You will not:
- Attempt to reverse engineer, hack, or compromise the app's security

Photo Library Permissions
Photo Cleaner requires photo library access to function. You can revoke this permission at any time through iOS Settings, though the app will not be able to function without it. Granting photo access does not give us access to your photos — all processing happens locally on your device.

10. Termination
We may terminate or suspend your access to Photo Cleaner at any time for violations of these Terms or other reasonable causes. You may discontinue use of the app at any time by deleting it from your device.

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable laws. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of Photo Cleaner will be resolved through binding arbitration or in courts of competent jurisdiction.
