Privacy Policy
Free Up Storage ("the app") is designed to clean up your device while keeping your personal data private. This policy explains what we collect, how it is used, and the choices you have.
On-Device Processing
Your photos, videos, and contacts are analyzed entirely on your device. They are never uploaded to our servers, and we never see them. Deleting duplicates, merging contacts, and creating backups all happen locally on your iPhone.
Information We Collect
To operate and improve the app, we collect a limited set of technical data:
- Device IP address
- App interaction and diagnostic data used to fix crashes and bugs
- Mobile operating system and device type
Gmail Access
If you choose to connect a Gmail account, the app requests permission to read email metadata (such as sender and category) and to modify messages so it can move clutter to Trash or unsubscribe on your behalf. This happens only for actions you initiate. We do not store the contents of your emails on our servers, and your Google access token is stored securely on your device. You can disconnect at any time, and you may revoke access from your Google Account settings.
Contacts Backups
When you create a contacts backup, the app exports a vCard file to your device and lets you save it to your own storage (for example Files or iCloud Drive). We do not receive or store your contacts.
Third-Party Services
The app relies on a small number of trusted providers, which may process anonymous device identifiers and diagnostic information solely to support the app's functionality:
- RevenueCat — manages subscriptions and purchase validation (privacy policy).
- Sentry — crash and error diagnostics (privacy policy).
- Google Gmail API — used only when you connect Gmail (privacy policy).
Cookies and Tracking
The native mobile app does not use cookies. Third-party SDKs may use device identifiers for crash reporting and purchase validation, with consent obtained where legally required.
Data Retention
- Diagnostic and crash data: up to 24 months
- Anonymized purchase identifiers: subscription duration plus 12 months
- Legal compliance data: as long as required by law
Your Rights & Contact
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data by emailing pgbuilsapps@gmail.com. California residents have CCPA/CPRA rights, exercisable at the same address.
Security & Children
We use reasonable safeguards to protect the limited data we process. The app is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
International Transfers & Changes
Where data is processed outside your country, appropriate safeguards apply. We may update this policy from time to time; material changes will be reflected here with a revised effective date.
