These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Photo Cleanup mobile application (“the App”), published by Etienne Pers, trading as Ticked Apps, France (“we”, “us”, “our”, “the Service Provider”).

By downloading, installing or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

1) What the App does

Photo Cleanup helps you review the photos in your iPhone’s photo library and remove the ones you no longer want. It offers several review modes — reviewing random photos, screenshots, visually similar photos, and photos by month or by date — and, at the end of each session, lets you confirm which photos to remove.

The App is a tool that acts on your instructions. It does not decide anything for you.

2) Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country, if higher) to use the App. By using it, you confirm that you meet this requirement and that you have the right to use the photos in your library.

3) Photo deletion — read this part

This is the part of the App that matters most, so it is spelled out plainly.

  • Nothing is deleted without your explicit confirmation. Marking a photo during a review session does not delete it. At the end of each session you see a recap and must confirm; iOS then shows its own system confirmation dialog on top of that.
  • Leaving a session before confirming discards your decisions. Nothing is queued, remembered, or acted on later.
  • Confirmed photos are moved to your Recently Deleted album, not erased. iOS keeps them there for approximately 30 days, during which you can restore them from the Photos app. The storage they occupy is not released until iOS removes them permanently.
  • We cannot recover a deleted photo for you. Once iOS has permanently removed it, it is gone. We have no copy of your photos and no access to your library.
  • You are responsible for your own backups. We strongly recommend keeping an up-to-date backup of your photo library (for example iCloud Photos or a computer backup) before doing any bulk cleaning.
  • Photo grouping and suggestions are automatic and imperfect. Similar-photo detection uses on-device image analysis. It may group photos that you consider different, or fail to group photos that you consider duplicates. Always review what you are about to delete: the final decision is always yours.

4) Permissions

The App requires access to your photo library to work. It may also ask permission to send you local reminder notifications. You grant these permissions through iOS, and you may withdraw them at any time in iOS Settings. Some features will not work without photo library access.

5) Privacy

Your photos never leave your device, and the App has no account system and no server that holds your content. How the App handles data is described in full in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

6) Price

The App is currently offered free of charge. If we introduce paid features or subscriptions in the future, their price and terms will be presented to you clearly before any purchase, and all purchases will be handled by Apple through the App Store, subject to Apple’s own terms and refund policy. Nothing in these Terms obliges you to buy anything.

7) Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • use the App in any unlawful way, or on photos you have no right to access;
  • attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits it despite this restriction;
  • interfere with or attempt to disrupt the App, or circumvent any of its safeguards, in particular those governing deletion;
  • redistribute, resell, sublicense or rent the App.

8) Licence

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App on devices you own or control, in accordance with the App Store Terms of Service and these Terms. We retain all rights, title and interest in the App, including its source code, design, branding, name and visual identity. These Terms do not transfer any intellectual property rights to you.

You retain all rights in your own photos. We claim no rights over them whatsoever.

9) Disclaimer of warranties

The App is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that its analysis will be accurate or complete.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any warranty or right that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. If you are a consumer, you keep all mandatory rights granted to you by the law of your country of residence, and these Terms do not affect them.

10) Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, nor for any loss of data, loss of photos, loss of profits, or loss of goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of the App — including any deletion of photos that you confirmed within the App.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to the App shall not exceed the amounts you have paid us for the App in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

These limitations do not apply to liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or to any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

11) Third-party services

The App uses PostHog for anonymous usage analytics, as described in the Privacy Policy, and relies on Apple’s operating system frameworks and the App Store. Your use of the App is also subject to Apple’s applicable terms. We are not responsible for third-party services, and they are not responsible for the App.

Apple. These Terms are between you and us only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content, has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it, and is not responsible for addressing any claim relating to the App. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

12) Support

Questions, feedback, feature requests and bug reports are welcome at support@tickedapps.com. We aim to respond within a reasonable time, but we do not guarantee a specific response time or the resolution of any particular issue.

13) Changes to the App and to these Terms

We may update, modify or discontinue the App or any of its features at any time. We may also update these Terms; the “Last updated” date above will change, and material changes will be brought to your attention in the App or on our website. Continuing to use the App after a change takes effect means you accept the revised Terms. If you do not accept them, stop using the App and delete it.

14) Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by deleting it, which also removes all data it has stored on your device. We may suspend or terminate your licence if you materially breach these Terms. Sections 9, 10, 11 and 15 survive termination.

15) Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of France, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Disputes shall be brought before the competent courts in France, unless mandatory consumer protection laws require otherwise. If you are a consumer resident in the EU/EEA or the UK, you retain the protection of the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings before the courts of that country.

16) Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App.
