Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 7, 2026

The short version

Riddance collects no personal data. There is no account, no server of ours, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. The app itself makes no network connections. It asks Apple's App Store, through iOS, for the unlock's price and whether you have bought it; Apple handles the optional one-time purchase. Nothing about your photos is ever sent.

Your photos

Riddance asks for access to your photo library so it can show you your photos and videos to sort. It reads them on your iPhone and never uploads, copies or sends them anywhere. If you give Riddance limited access, it only sees the items you chose.

When you clear out the photos you tossed, Riddance asks iOS to delete them. iOS shows its own confirmation first, and deleted items go to your Recently Deleted album, where you can recover them for 30 days.

What Riddance stores on your iPhone

Inside the app, on your iPhone only: which photos you marked keep or toss (so a deck remembers where you were), how many free swipes you used this month, totals of space freed, and whether you bought the unlock. Deleting the app deletes all of it.

The one-time purchase

The $4.99 unlock is handled entirely by Apple's App Store under Apple's privacy policy. Riddance only stores a local note that the purchase was made.

Children

Riddance has no accounts, no chat and no sharing, and collects no data from or about anyone.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
