Tidyup
Privacy policy
Tidyup works on your phone. There is no account, no sign-in and no Tidyup server. The photos and PDFs you open are never uploaded by us. The only data that leaves your phone is what Google’s ad and billing services collect, explained below.
1. Your files stay on your phone
Tidyup compresses, resizes, converts, merges, splits and scans files entirely on your device. We do not receive, store or see your photos, PDFs or scans. Temporary working files are kept in the app's private storage and deleted automatically after about one day. Anything you choose to save goes to your gallery or Downloads folder, where you control it.
2. Data collected by third-party services
Tidyup is free and shows ads. To do that, and to sell the optional Premium plan, it uses these Google services:
- Google AdMob (ads). AdMob may collect your device's advertising ID, IP address, device and app information (model, operating system, app version), and approximate location, to show and measure ads and prevent fraud. This is collected by Google, not by us. See how Google uses advertising data.
- Google Play Billing (Premium). If you subscribe, Google Play handles the payment. We learn only whether your subscription is active. We never see your payment details.
- Google document scanner (Scan). The scan feature uses Google's on-device scanner through Google Play services. Scanning happens on your phone, and the camera permission is requested by Google's scanner when you use it.
In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, you are asked for consent before personalized ads are shown, using Google's consent message. You can change your choice later from Privacy settings on the Tidyup home screen.
3. Permissions
- Internet and network state: to load ads and check your subscription.
- Advertising ID: used by AdMob as described above.
- Billing: to offer the Premium subscription.
- Camera: only inside Google's scanner, only when you tap Scan.
Tidyup opens your files through Android's own file and photo pickers, so it can only see the files you select.
4. Sharing
We do not sell your data and we do not share it with anyone ourselves. The only parties that receive data are the Google services listed in section 2.
5. Children
Tidyup is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 where local law sets that age), and we do not knowingly collect data from children.
6. Your choices
- Reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's settings (Settings, Privacy, Ads).
- Opt out of personalized ads in your Google account's ad settings.
- Cancel Premium any time in Google Play (Payments and subscriptions, Subscriptions).
- Uninstalling Tidyup removes everything it stored on your phone.
7. Retention and deletion
Because Tidyup keeps no account or server-side data about you, there is nothing for us to delete. Data held by Google (such as advertising data) is governed by Google's own policies.
8. Changes
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date at the top.
