Pare Privacy Policy
Last updated: 8 November 2026 · Applies to the Pare app for iPhone.
In short
- Everything runs on your iPhone.
- Pare reads your photo library on the device and never uploads your photos or videos. We, the developer, never receive them.
- No account, no ads, no analytics, no tracking.
- Deletes go through iOS's own confirmation and into Recently Deleted for 30 days.
- Reminders are local notifications scheduled on your iPhone, never sent from a server.
- The only outside services are Apple's App Store, which processes payments and gives Pare's public rating, and RevenueCat, which processes purchases for us and receives an anonymous app user ID, device and OS information and your purchase history. It is not used for tracking.
Who we are
Pare is an iPhone app published by Marouane Gazouzi, an individual developer ("we", "us"). RevenueCat, Inc. processes the data described under Purchases for us, as our purchase processing provider.

Your photo library
Pare needs the Photos permission to show you your photos and videos and find the ones that take the most space. Full Access is recommended; with limited access, Pare can only see the items you selected.
Your library is read on your iPhone. Sorting by size, finding screenshots, similar shots and burst frames, and compressing videos all happen on the device. Pare never uploads your photos or videos, and we never receive them.
You can change the permission at any time in Settings › Privacy & Security › Photos › Pare.
What stays on your iPhone
To remember your progress, Pare stores the IDs of the items you kept, your streak, your daily swipe count and your cleared totals on your device (in UserDefaults). We have no server that stores them, so we can't see, sell or share them. Deleting the app removes them. The daily reminder and the reminder the day before a free trial ends are local notifications scheduled on your iPhone; nothing is sent from a server. You can turn off the daily reminder in Pare's Progress tab, and both in Settings › Notifications › Pare.
What leaves your iPhone, and why
App Store (StoreKit), operated by Apple
What is sent: Purchase and subscription requests. After a major update, a request for Pare's public App Store rating, with your country code only
Why: Selling Pare Pro and processing payments; showing Pare's rating on the review screen
RevenueCat, Inc., our purchase processing provider
What is sent: An anonymous app user ID, device and OS information, and your purchase history (App Store transactions)
Why: Processing purchases and confirming Pare Pro
Your photos and videos are never sent to either service. Like any internet request, these services can see your device's IP address. They handle data under their own policies: Apple Privacy Policy, RevenueCat privacy policy.
Deleting photos and videos
Pare never deletes anything on its own. When you clear an item, iOS asks you to confirm, and the item then moves to the Recently Deleted album in the Photos app, where it stays for 30 days and can be recovered.
Purchases
Pare Pro (yearly or weekly, each with a 3-day free trial) is sold by Apple through the App Store. Apple handles payment, receipts, renewals and refunds. We never see your name, Apple Account, email or payment details.
To process purchases, the app uses RevenueCat, Inc. RevenueCat receives an anonymous app user ID, information about your device and its operating system, and your purchase history (App Store transactions). This data is linked to that anonymous ID, never to your name, email or Apple Account, and it is not used for tracking. RevenueCat never receives your photos or videos.
You can cancel Pare Pro at any time in Settings › your name › Subscriptions.
Crash reports
If you have chosen in iPhone Settings to share analytics with app developers, Apple may send us anonymous crash reports and usage statistics. You control this in Settings › Privacy & Security › Analytics & Improvements.
Children
Pare asks no one, children included, for a name, email or account, and photos and videos stay on the iPhone. The only records kept for us are what RevenueCat receives, described under Purchases: an anonymous ID, device and OS information and the purchase history.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you can ask to access, correct or delete personal data and to object to its use. Apart from what RevenueCat receives (see Purchases), everything stays on your device and is under your control: deleting the app removes it. To have the records held by RevenueCat deleted, write to hello@aveniaconsulting.com. Apple holds the purchases themselves. If you have a question or want to exercise a right under the GDPR or another privacy law, write to the address below. You can also complain to your data protection authority (in France, the CNIL).
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update the date above. If a change affects what leaves your iPhone, we will say so in the app before it takes effect.
