Why this page exists
CleanLens makes a strong privacy promise, but a product website and a mobile app do not behave the same way. The app handles photo cleanup, while the public site exists to explain the product and measure aggregate website visits.
This page keeps those two layers separate so users can get a direct answer without guessing what belongs to the website and what belongs to the app.
The short version
CleanLens says photo analysis happens locally on your iPhone using on-device processing. That means the product's core cleanup logic is not described as uploading your library to a remote server for scoring.
The website may still load analytics scripts, but that does not change how the app's photo scanning workflow is described.
What the app needs in order to work
A private photo cleaner still needs some local state so it can remember user choices and render useful review flows. The published privacy materials mention local storage for keep preferences, scan settings, and subscription-related state.
That is very different from sending photo content to a remote cleanup service. One is local app state. The other is remote photo processing.
How deletion is framed
CleanLens is positioned as a review-first tool. It helps you decide what looks safe to remove, but it does not promise silent automatic deletion of your memories.
That is important both for privacy and for product trust. A good cleaner should reduce work while still leaving the final decision with the user.
FAQ
Does CleanLens upload my photos?
No. CleanLens describes its photo scanning and cleanup logic as on-device processing. The app is built so private photo analysis happens on your iPhone rather than on a remote server.
Does cleanlens.app use analytics?
Yes. The website can use analytics scripts for aggregate traffic measurement. That website-level analytics setup is separate from the app and does not include your photo library content.
What data stays on the device?
The site privacy materials describe local storage for items such as keep preferences, scan settings, and other app state needed to make cleanup review work reliably on your device.
Can I use CleanLens offline?
Core scanning is described as working locally on-device. Some non-scan services such as website browsing or subscription-related flows can still involve network activity.
What happens when I delete a photo in CleanLens?
CleanLens describes deletion as a review flow. Photos move through the iPhone deletion process rather than disappearing silently from the app without confirmation.
