SnapStart

Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 25, 2026

SnapStart ("the App"), listed on the App Store as Room Cleaning AI: Declutter, is developed by WayToPlan. This page explains what happens to your information when you use it. In short: your photos stay on your phone, except the one photo you take to get your steps, and we don't keep that one.

1. The photo you take for your steps

When you take a photo of a room, that one photo is sent over an encrypted connection to our own server, and from there to Google's Gemini (an AI model, reached through OpenRouter) to find what's out of place and write your steps. Before it leaves your phone, the photo is made smaller and stripped of its metadata, such as where it was taken. Along with it go your device language and the answers you gave when you started the App (what's hardest for you and how much time you usually have), so the steps fit you. No name, no account, no advertising identifier.

Our server passes the photo on in memory and never writes it to disk. We keep one log line per photo: when it was made, how long it took, what it cost, and a random identifier the App created for itself (stored as a hash), so one phone can't use up everyone's share. The AI provider processes the photo to answer the request.

AI can get things wrong. Every step has a flag to report it. A report sends us the step texts and your optional note, never the photo.

2. Your before and after photos

Before and after photos are stored on your device, inside the App. They are never uploaded to us. If you turn on "Save before & after to Photos" in Settings, the App also saves them to your photo library; it asks for permission to add photos and never reads your library. If you choose a photo from your library for a scan, only that photo is used.

3. What's stored on your phone

Your rounds (dates, steps done, time spent, room names) and settings are stored locally on your device. Deleting the App deletes them.

4. No analytics, no ads, no tracking

The App contains no advertising, no third-party analytics and no tracking SDKs, and does not use the advertising identifier.

5. Purchases

SnapStart Pro is sold through Apple's App Store (yearly with a free trial, monthly, or lifetime). Apple handles all payments; we never see your payment details. To know whether a subscription is still in use, the App sends our own server the transaction Apple signed, and Apple sends our server its standard notifications about your subscription. If you came from an Apple Search Ads campaign, the App may report which campaign, attached to that transaction. None of this includes your name, email or Apple Account.

Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel them in your Apple Account settings. Refunds are handled by Apple.

6. Notifications

If you turn on the daily nudge, the App schedules a local notification on your phone. No server is involved.

7. Feedback

If you send feedback from the App, your message and the optional name and email you add are sent to us by email through Web3Forms. Photos are never attached.

8. Children

The App is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

9. Your choices

You can stop sending photos at any time by not using the scan. You can delete everything the App stores by deleting the App. For any question, or to ask what we hold about you, use the contact form.

10. Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top. If what happens to your photo changes, the App will tell you again before your next photo.
