Who we are
Lighter: Photo Cleaner is provided by LAB&CO RAMZI SAI (Lab&Co, “we”). This policy covers the app and support communications. Lab&Co is the controller of personal information received through support. Contact support@labco.app with privacy questions.
Photos access
With your permission, Lighter uses Apple PhotoKit to display photos and library metadata, sort photos by date, and request deletions you confirm. You can allow your full library or only selected photos. Videos and hidden photos are excluded.
Photo processing takes place on your device. Lighter does not send your photos, library metadata, or cleanup choices to us or a third-party service.
Saved progress
Lighter saves photo identifiers, date order, progress, keep or delete choices, and the cleanup stage in its private app storage. This lets you continue a cleanup and change earlier choices. Your photos remain in Apple Photos.
The app marks the saved cleanup file as excluded from device backups. Progress remains until replaced or cleared by the app, or removed when you delete the app and its data. Do not rely on a device backup to restore a cleanup session.
Deletion and iCloud Photos
A swipe only marks a photo. Deletion requires your final review, confirmation in Lighter, and Apple’s Photos confirmation. If you use iCloud Photos, Apple may download photo previews and sync deletions to your other devices.
Deleted photos normally stay in Recently Deleted for 30 days. Recovery depends on Apple Photos and your library state. Lighter cannot restore permanently deleted photos. Read Apple’s deletion and recovery guide.
No analytics or advertising
Lighter has no third-party analytics, advertising, or crash-reporting SDKs. It does not collect app usage data, use advertising identifiers, track you across apps, or sell your personal information.
Apple may process App Store and diagnostic information under your Apple settings and Apple’s privacy policy.
If you contact support
We and the email providers process your email address, message, attachments, and device details you choose to send. We use this information to answer you and investigate the issue. You do not have to email us to use Lighter. Without enough detail, we may be unable to resolve a support request.
We process support information as needed to provide support under our agreement with you, for our legitimate interest in resolving issues and maintaining the app, or to meet legal obligations. We keep it only as long as needed to resolve the request, handle related follow-up, and meet those obligations.
Email providers may process messages outside your country under their applicable safeguards. Contact us for information about the providers and safeguards that apply to your request. Please do not send private photos or unrelated personal information.
Your choices and rights
You can change Photos access in Settings, cancel a deletion, or delete Lighter and its local data. Deleting the app does not restore photos already deleted from Apple Photos.
Depending on where you live, you can request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or a copy of personal information we hold, and object to processing. You can withdraw consent where processing relies on consent. Email support@labco.app to make a request. We cannot retrieve photo or cleanup records that never leave your device.
You can also complain to your local data-protection authority. In Poland, this is the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO).
Children and security
Lighter does not collect children’s personal information through normal app use. A parent or guardian can contact us about information a child sends to support.
We use private platform storage and limit the information we receive. No storage or communication method is completely secure.
Policy changes
If our data practices change, we will update this policy and its effective date. We will give further notice where required by law.
