Last updated: November 15, 2026
GigaSwipe is an iPhone app published by Yann William Hostin, a sole trader doing business as VELT, 15 Chemin de la Procession, Appt 17 Bat A, 33260 La Teste-de-Buch, France ("we"). It helps you sort and delete the photos and videos that take up the most space. This page explains what data the app uses, why, and who receives it.
Your photos and videos stay on your iPhone
With your permission, GigaSwipe reads information about your photos and videos: their size, date, type (video, screenshot, Live Photo, photo), dimensions, and whether they are in your favorites. It also shows their thumbnails while you sort. All of this happens on your iPhone. Your photos and videos are never copied, uploaded or analyzed on a server, by us or by any provider.
When you choose to delete items, iOS asks you to confirm, then moves them to the Recently Deleted album in the Photos app. You can recover them there for 30 days. If you use iCloud Photos, deleting an item removes it from all your devices.
What the app keeps on your iPhone
The app stores on your phone the result of its last scan, your current trash, the list of items you kept, your deleted GB counter and your settings. This data is never sent anywhere, and it goes away when you delete the app.
What is sent, and to whom
GigaSwipe has no account, no ads and no ad tracking, and we never sell data. Three providers receive limited information, without your photos, file names or anything that could identify you:
- PostHog, hosted in the European Union, receives anonymous usage events such as "scan completed" or "paywall viewed", along with basic device information (model, iOS version, language). They help us understand how the app is used so we can improve it. A random identifier created on your iPhone links these events together. It is not tied to any person. PostHog's policy
- RevenueCat receives the state of your purchases (active subscription or lifetime purchase) and an anonymous identifier created by the app. This tells the app whether full access is unlocked and lets you restore purchases. RevenueCat's policy
- Sentry, hosted in the European Union, receives crash reports: a technical description of the error, the device model, and the iOS and app versions. We use them to fix bugs. They contain no screenshots and no personal data. Sentry's policy
Payments are handled by Apple through the App Store. We never see your payment details. Apple's policy
Legal bases and retention
Usage events and crash reports rely on our legitimate interest in running and improving the app. Purchase status is needed to provide the service you paid for. This data is kept only as long as needed, following each provider's retention periods, then deleted.
Your rights
You can ask to access, correct or delete your data, or object to its processing, by writing to gigaswipe.contact@velt-studio.app. Because the data is anonymous, we may need a hint to find it, such as the date of a purchase. You can also contact your data protection authority.
Children
GigaSwipe is not aimed at children and does not knowingly collect data about them.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with its update date.
