Social Cleanup
Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what information the Social Cleanup iOS app (the "App") handles, where it is stored, and what choices you have. The App is provided by Omega23 ("we", "us"). By using the App you agree to this policy and to our Terms of Use.
Social Cleanup is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Instagram or Meta Platforms, Inc.
1. Information the App processes
1.1 Your Instagram data export
To use the App, you request a copy of your data from Instagram ("Download your information") and then choose that file in the App. From the export, the App reads only the followers and following files, specifically:
- usernames of the accounts that follow you and that you follow;
- links to those profiles;
- the dates on which each follow happened, where Instagram includes them.
Every other part of the export, such as photos, videos, messages, comments, likes, and your personal information, is skipped and never read. The temporary copy of the export file is deleted once the import finishes.
1.2 Information you create in the App
The App stores the snapshots you import (the lists described above plus the date of each import) and your cleanup progress, such as which accounts you marked as done, skipped, or unavailable. It also stores your App settings.
1.3 Purchase information
If you subscribe to Social Cleanup Pro, payment is handled entirely by Apple through your Apple ID. We never see your payment card or billing details. To manage your subscription, our subscription provider RevenueCat receives an anonymous, randomly generated app user ID and your purchase history (which product you bought, when, and whether it is active). See section 3.
1.4 Anonymous usage statistics (optional)
If enabled, the App can send a small set of anonymous product events, such as "import completed" or "paywall viewed", to help us improve it. These events:
- never contain usernames, follower lists, file names, or file contents;
- use rounded counts only (for example "1kâ9k followers"), never exact numbers;
- are not linked to your identity and are not used for advertising or tracking;
- can be turned off at any time in Settings â Share anonymous usage stats.
1.5 What we do not collect
- Your Instagram password or login session. The App never asks for them.
- Your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, or location.
- Advertising identifiers. The App does not track you across other apps or websites.
2. Where your data is processed and stored
Unzipping, reading and comparing your export all happen on your device. Your snapshots and cleanup progress are stored in a local database on your iPhone. We do not operate a server that receives your follower or following data, and we have no copy of it.
Because this data lives only on your device, we cannot recover it if you delete the App or lose your device. Depending on your iOS settings, it may be included in your device's encrypted iCloud or computer backups, which are controlled by Apple and by you.
3. Third parties
| Service | What it receives | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Apple (App Store) | Purchase and payment details, under Apple's own privacy policy | Processing subscription payments |
| RevenueCat, Inc. | Anonymous app user ID, purchase history, device type and App version | Validating purchases and unlocking Pro features |
| Analytics provider (only if usage stats are on) | Anonymous events described in section 1.4 | Understanding how the App is used, to improve it |
| A normal page request when you tap "Open" on a profile | Showing that profile in the Instagram app or website, just as if you searched for it yourself |
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information for advertising. RevenueCat's privacy policy is available at revenuecat.com/privacy, and Apple's at apple.com/legal/privacy.
4. What the App never does
- Ask for your Instagram password or log into Instagram on your behalf.
- Scrape Instagram or use unofficial Instagram APIs.
- Follow or unfollow accounts automatically. Every unfollow is something you do yourself in Instagram.
- Sell your data.
5. Data retention and deletion
Your data stays on your device until you remove it. You can:
- delete individual snapshots in the History tab;
- delete everything in Settings â Delete All Data;
- delete the App, which removes all of its data from your device.
Purchase records held by Apple and RevenueCat are kept as long as needed to provide your subscription and to meet legal and accounting obligations. To ask for your RevenueCat purchase record to be deleted, contact us at the address below.
6. Security
Your data is protected by your device's built-in security, including iOS data protection and your passcode. Communication with RevenueCat and Apple uses encrypted connections (HTTPS). No method of storage or transmission is 100% secure, but keeping your data on your device greatly limits exposure.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live, including the EU/EEA, the UK, and California, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal data, to object to or restrict its processing, and to complain to a data protection authority. Because your follower data never leaves your device, you can exercise most of these rights directly in the App. For data held by our service providers, email us at contact.omega23@gmail.com and we will respond within 30 days.
Where the GDPR applies, we process purchase data to perform our contract with you (providing the subscription you bought), and optional usage statistics based on our legitimate interest in improving the App, which you can switch off at any time.
8. Children
The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country) and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Effective" date above and, for material changes, let you know in the App. Continuing to use the App after an update means you accept the revised policy.
