Your screenshots stay yours

Cleanss is a screenshot app. It works on your computer, and your screenshots never leave it. This page explains what that means in practice.

Last updated

The short version

  • Your screenshots are captured, edited and saved on your device. Cleanss does not upload them anywhere.
  • The sensitive-info scan that finds passwords, API keys, emails and card numbers runs entirely on your device.
  • This website uses no analytics, no tracking and no advertising cookies.
  • We don't sell data, because we don't collect any worth selling.

The app

Everything Cleanss does to a screenshot happens locally: capturing, backgrounds, frames, annotations, blur and pixelate, and export. There is no Cleanss cloud, no account to sign in to, and no sync. Your screenshots go where you save them and nowhere else.

The sensitive-info scan reads each screenshot on your device to find things you probably don't want to share, like passwords and API keys, so you can blur them in one click. The image is never sent to a server to do this. Nothing it finds is stored or reported back to us.

Cleanss does not collect usage statistics or crash reports from your computer. If that ever changes, it will be opt-in, this page will say so, and the changelog will note it.

Purchases

Cleanss is a one-time purchase. Payments are handled by a payment provider, who needs your email address and payment details to process the order and send a receipt. We see only what is needed to deliver your licence and provide support, never your full card number. This section will name the provider once checkout is live.

This website

cleanss.app does not use analytics scripts, tracking pixels, or third-party cookies. The fonts are served by Next.js from our own host, not fetched from Google at request time. When you download the app, the request goes to our hosting provider like any file download, and standard server logs may record your IP address for a short time.

The site has one cookie, named cleanss_admin. It is only set when the site owner signs in to the admin area to publish blog posts and changelog entries. If you are reading this, it is almost certainly not set in your browser.

Email

If you write to us, we keep the conversation so we can reply and follow up. We don't add you to a mailing list because you asked a question.

Children

Cleanss is not aimed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top will change with it. Anything meaningful, like new data collection, will also show up in the changelog.
