Your privacy is one of our most important design principles.
SweepPix is a desktop application that runs locally. The application does not do the following:
To provide photo cleanup features, SweepPix reads and processes the following data on your computer. This data is held in memory only while the application is running and is cleared when the application closes.
| Data Type | Purpose | Storage Location | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| File paths | Scan image files in the folders you choose | Memory | Cleared when the application closes |
| Image pixel data | Calculate perceptual hashes and detect blur | Memory | Cleared after processing |
| Perceptual hashes | Compare duplicate and similar photos | Memory | Cleared when the application closes |
| File metadata | Read file size, modified date, and resolution | Memory | Cleared when the application closes |
This data exists only in runtime memory. It is not written to disk or sent over the network, and it is released when the application closes.
SweepPix needs the following file-system permissions to provide its features:
SweepPix accesses only the folders you choose. It does not automatically scan other locations on your system or access folders you have not selected.
SweepPix's core features do not require an internet connection. Scanning, analysis, and photo cleanup work offline.
If you do not want the application to connect to the network, you can block SweepPix in your system firewall without affecting its core features.
SweepPix uses the following open-source components. They run locally and do not upload your data:
| Component | Purpose | Privacy Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Electron | Application framework | No data collection |
| sharp (libvips) | Image processing | Local processing only |
| React | User-interface rendering | Runs locally |
For the complete open-source license list, see the licenses.txt file in the application installation directory.
SweepPix is not directed to children under 13 and does not collect age information. Because the application does not collect user data, this policy does not have a special impact on children.
SweepPix does not retain persistent user data. When you uninstall the application:
Photos you choose to delete are moved to the Windows Recycle Bin. You can restore them from there until Windows permanently removes them or the Recycle Bin is emptied.
If this Privacy Policy changes, we will provide a prominent notice in the application and on the official website. Material changes will be announced at least 30 days in advance.
