Privacy Policy

Last updated September 26, 2026

Brushoff is an iPhone app made by CARDIGITAL - FZCO, Dubai, United Arab Emirates (“we”). This policy explains what happens to your information when you use it. The short version: your photos never leave your iPhone, and we do not collect them or anything about them. The app does send us a short, anonymous record of how it is used, so we can tell which of our ads bring people who find it useful.

Your photos

Brushoff asks for access to your photo library so it can show you your photos and videos and help you delete the ones you don’t want. All of this happens on your iPhone:

• Photos and videos are shown and analysed on the device only, using Apple’s built-in frameworks. Finding similar shots and blurry photos uses small thumbnails that are already on your phone.
• We never upload, copy or send your photos, videos, their contents or their metadata anywhere. We have no servers that receive them.
• Nothing is deleted until you confirm it on the review screen, and iOS asks you to confirm again. Deleted items go to Recently Deleted, where iOS keeps them for 30 days.

You can change or remove Brushoff’s photo access at any time in Settings, Privacy & Security, Photos.

No account, no tracking

Brushoff has no sign-up and no account. It does not track you across other apps or websites, does not ask for or use Apple’s advertising identifier, shows no ads and contains no third-party advertising or analytics SDKs.

How the app is used

To learn which of our ads bring people who find Brushoff useful, the app sends our own server a short record of how it is used:

• which screens were opened, and steps such as giving photo access, finishing a scan, opening the paywall, starting a trial, buying or deleting,
• rough counts, such as how many photos were swiped, how many megabytes were freed, and the size of the library as a band (for example 5,000 to 20,000 items),
• a random ID created when the app is first opened, the app version, the iPhone model, the iOS version, the language and the time zone.

The record never includes your photos, what is in them, their dates, places, file names or any other details about them, and nothing about you such as your name, email address or Apple Account. We do not sell it or share it with advertisers, and we keep it only as long as we need it to compare our ads.

The app also tells Apple how far it got, for example that a trial started, through Apple’s SKAdNetwork. Apple passes this on to the ad network that showed our ad, without saying who you are or which device it came from.

Purchases

If you buy a subscription or the one-time lifetime unlock, the payment is handled by Apple under your Apple Account. We never see your card or payment details. To know whether your purchase is active, the app uses RevenueCat, a subscription service, which receives a random app user ID created on your device and the purchase record from Apple. It does not receive your name, email address or photos.

If you installed Brushoff after tapping one of our ads in the App Store, the app passes Apple’s attribution token to RevenueCat and to our server, which ask Apple which ad campaign led to the install. Apple’s answer names the campaign, not you, and we use it only to see which ads work.

Children

Brushoff is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from them. The app collects no personal information, only the anonymous usage record described above.

Your rights

Wherever you live, you can ask us what we hold about you and ask us to delete it. Your photos stay on your phone, so we hold none of them. The usage record carries only a random ID and is not tied to your name or email, so we cannot find it by who you are. Deleting the app stops it. For subscription records, write to us and we will help, or manage your subscription in Settings, your name, Subscriptions.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update it here and change the date at the top. If a change affects what leaves your phone, we will say so in the app before it takes effect.
