Screenshot Swipe
Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 21, 2026
Screenshot Swipe operates primarily on your device. Optional AI features may send extracted text to Google's servers.
Overview
Screenshot Swipe is designed with privacy as a priority. We do not collect or store any personal data on our servers. The App does not have its own backend servers.
Photo Library Access
The app requests access to your photo library to:
- Display your screenshots for review
- Delete screenshots you choose to remove
- Keep track of screenshots you've saved
All photo processing happens locally on your device. Your actual images never leave your device.
AI-Powered Features (Optional)
The app includes optional AI features ("Smart Analysis") that use Google's Gemini API to generate summaries and suggest tags.
You can disable AI features at any time in Settings → Smart Analysis.
What data is sent
When you tap "Scan & Analyze" with Smart Analysis enabled:
- Text extracted from your screenshot is sent to Google's Gemini API
- Only the text content is sent, not the actual image
- Your tags list is sent to help with tag suggestions
What data is NOT sent
- Your actual screenshot images
- Your personal information
- Your notes or reminders
- Any data from screenshots you don't actively scan
When disabled
When Smart Analysis is disabled:
- No data is sent to external servers
- Text extraction (OCR) still works entirely on-device
- Tag suggestions use local keyword matching only
When using AI features, your data is also subject to Google's Privacy Policy.
On-Device Text Extraction
The app uses Apple's Vision framework to extract text from screenshots. This processing happens entirely on your device and does not require an internet connection.
Notifications
The app may request permission to send local notifications for reminders you set. These notifications are scheduled entirely on your device.
Data Storage
Any data the app stores (such as tags, notes, and saved screenshot references) is kept locally on your device using Apple's standard data storage frameworks.
Third-Party Services
| Service | Purpose | Data Shared | Optional |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Gemini API | AI text analysis | Extracted text | Yes |
The app does not use any analytics, advertising, or tracking services.
Children's Privacy
The app does not knowingly collect any data from anyone, including children under 13.
