Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
At Shynex, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our iOS application. We are committed to protecting your personal data and being transparent about our practices.
2. Information We Collect
Shynex is designed with privacy in mind. The App processes data locally on your device and does not collect or transmit your personal information to external servers.
2.1 Data Processed Locally
To provide its core functionality, the App accesses and processes the following data on your device:
- Photos and videos from your photo library
- Contact information from your contacts list
- Calendar events from your calendar
- File metadata (creation dates, file sizes, etc.)
This data is analyzed locally on your device to identify duplicates and similar items. It is never uploaded to our servers or shared with third parties.
2.2 Anonymous Usage Data
We may collect anonymous, aggregated usage statistics to improve the App, such as feature usage frequency and app performance metrics. This data cannot be linked to you personally and does not include any of your photos, contacts, or calendar information.
3. How We Use Your Information
The data accessed by Shynex is used solely for:
- Identifying duplicate and similar photos, videos, contacts, and calendar events
- Providing recommendations for cleanup and organization
- Enabling you to preview and confirm deletions
- Improving app performance and user experience through anonymous analytics
4. Data Storage and Security
All processing happens locally on your device. We do not store your photos, videos, contacts, or calendar data on our servers. Your data remains on your device and is protected by your device's security features and your Apple ID.
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect any data that is transmitted, such as anonymous usage statistics, using encryption and secure protocols.
5. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We do not share your photos, videos, contacts, or calendar data with anyone.
We may disclose information only in the following circumstances:
- When required by law or legal process
- To protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users
- With your explicit consent
6. Third-Party Services
Shynex may use third-party services for analytics and app performance monitoring. These services collect only anonymous, aggregated data and do not have access to your personal information.
The App integrates with Apple's services (iCloud, App Store) which are governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
7. Your Rights and Choices
You have the following rights regarding your data:
- Access Control: You can revoke the App's permissions to access your photos, contacts, or calendar at any time through your device settings
- Data Deletion: You can delete the App at any time, which will remove all local processing data
- Opt-Out: You can disable anonymous analytics in the App settings
8. Children's Privacy
Shynex is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately.
9. International Users
Since all data processing occurs locally on your device, your data does not leave your device or your region. Anonymous usage statistics, if collected, may be transmitted to servers located in various countries.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy within the App or on our website. Your continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
11. Data Retention
Since we do not collect or store your personal data on our servers, there is no data retention period. All data processed by the App remains on your device and is subject to your device's storage management.
12. California Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, you have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). However, since we do not collect or sell personal information, most CCPA provisions do not apply to our App.
13. European Privacy Rights
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Since all processing occurs locally on your device and we do not collect personal data, these rights primarily relate to your control over the App's permissions on your device.
14. Contact Us
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, please contact us at: [email protected]
15. Consent
By using Shynex, you consent to this Privacy Policy and agree to its terms. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the App.
