Clear
Privacy policy

Photos stay private.

Effective August 11, 2026

Clear is designed to remove private metadata from photos without uploading photo content. Clear is operated by Arve Tech LLC ("Arve Tech," "we," "us"). This policy explains the limited data involved in operating the app.

Photos and metadata

Photos you select and their metadata are processed locally on your device. Clear does not upload, store, sell or share photo content or extracted metadata. Cleaned copies remain under your control through Apple system sharing and saving surfaces.

Purchases

Clear uses Apple In-App Purchase and Adapty to offer and restore the lifetime unlock. Anonymous purchase history may be processed for app functionality, including verifying access. It is not linked to an account in Clear and is not used for tracking or advertising.

Permissions

The system photo picker limits reading to photos you explicitly select. Add-only Photos permission is requested only when you choose Save to Photos.

Accounts, advertising and tracking

Clear requires no account, contains no advertising and does not request App Tracking Transparency permission. The Adapty SDK is configured without IDFA or IP-address collection.

Retention

Selected photos, inspection results and generated copies are held only as needed for the current session and are released when the session ends. Apple and Adapty may retain purchase records as required to provide and restore purchases.

Data controller

Arve Tech LLC is responsible for the processing described in this policy.
