Your privacy is at the core of how Sweep is built. Learn how we handle your data.
Last Updated: July 2, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how Ferrix Labs Inc., a company incorporated in Canada (“Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), collects, uses, shares, and protects information in connection with the Sweep mobile application, the sweep.photos website, and all related services, features, and functionality (collectively, the “Services”). The app is offered on the United States storefront of the Apple App Store, and the Services are directed to users in the United States.
By accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.
The Short Version
Your photos and videos never leave your device — all photo analysis happens on-device, and we operate no servers that receive them. There are no accounts. What little data leaves your device is device-level and purchase-level information used to run subscriptions, deliver notifications, and measure how people discover the app — described in full below.
Ferrix Labs Inc. is a Canadian company and is the organization accountable for personal information handled in connection with the Services. This policy covers the Sweep iOS app and the sweep.photos website. It does not cover third-party websites, services, or applications that we do not control — including Apple's services and the third-party partners identified in Section 7, which process data under their own privacy policies.
We want to be precise about what stays on your device and never reaches us:
When you use the app, we and the partners identified in Section 7 collect limited device-level information:
The sweep.photos website sets no cookies and runs no analytics or advertising trackers (see Section 8). Our hosting infrastructure keeps standard, short-lived server logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested) for security and operations.
We share information only in the following circumstances:
We do not sell your personal information. Some privacy laws treat sharing device identifiers with advertising partners for cross-context advertising measurement as “sharing” or use for “targeted advertising.” Section 6 explains how to prevent this with a single device setting.
We use mobile-attribution and advertising-network partners to understand how users discover the app and to measure advertising campaigns. These partners may receive:
We also participate in Apple's SKAdNetwork, which reports install attribution to ad networks in aggregate, without identifying you individually.
The app uses the following third-party services, which may process the device-level and purchase-level data described in Section 3. Each processes data under its own privacy policy, and we require that partners receiving user data protect it consistent with this policy and applicable law:
The Services may also contain links to third-party websites or services we do not control; this Privacy Policy does not apply to them.
The sweep.photos website does not set cookies and does not use analytics, advertising, or social-media trackers of any kind. If that ever changes, we will update this policy first and, where required, ask for your consent. Because the website deploys no tracking, there is nothing on it to opt out of.
We may retain information for longer periods where required by law or to resolve disputes. You may request deletion of information we hold at any time (Section 12).
We use commercially reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect the limited information we handle, including encryption of data in transit and access controls. The most important protection is architectural: your photos, videos, and library metadata never leave your device, so they cannot be exposed by us. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We are a Canadian company, and the service partners identified in Section 7 operate primarily in the United States. Device-level and purchase-level information may therefore be processed in the United States, Canada, or other countries where those partners operate, which may have data protection laws that differ from those of your place of residence. Where required by applicable law, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for such processing.
Because Sweep has no accounts and keeps your content on your device, the personal information we can hold about you is limited — typically support emails and device-level records held by our partners. We honor the following rights for all users, and additional rights where applicable law provides them:
Depending on your state of residence (including under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended and similar laws in other states), you may have rights to know, access, correct, delete, and obtain a copy of personal information, to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information or its use for targeted advertising, and to non-discrimination for exercising these rights. We do not sell personal information; you can prevent the sharing of your advertising identifier as described in Section 6, and we honor these rights as required by applicable law.
As a Canadian organization, we handle personal information in accordance with Canadian federal privacy law (PIPEDA). You may request access to or correction of personal information we hold, challenge our compliance with our privacy obligations by contacting us, and contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada if you are not satisfied with our response.
Contact us at sweep@ferrixlabs.com with the subject line “Privacy Request.” We may need to verify your request (for example, by corresponding from the email address involved), and we will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law — typically within 30 days. You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights. Note that for device-level data held by the partners in Section 7, we may fulfill deletion requests by directing the request to the relevant partner or by providing you the means to make the request directly.
The Services are not directed at children under the age of 13, and our Terms of Use require users to be adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete it promptly. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at sweep@ferrixlabs.com.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, or legal requirements. If we make material changes, we will provide notice through the Services or on our website, and we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Services after any changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
