Who we are
Spaceora and this website are provided by Tvinnereim Studios AS. For privacy questions or requests, contact spaceora@tvinnereimstudios.no.
This policy covers the Spaceora app, this website and correspondence with us. The app is currently being prepared for release; this page describes its current design.
Local analysis
Spaceora reads folders you select and photos you authorize through Apple’s permission system. File analysis uses names, locations, sizes, timestamps and content fingerprints to display storage information and identify identical files. Photo analysis uses metadata and locally accessible image and video resources. Visual comparison runs on your device.
Spaceora does not upload your files, photos, content fingerprints or scan history to its own server or an AI service. It does not require a Spaceora account.
Data on your device
The app stores folder access bookmarks, file scan metadata, content fingerprints, cleanup history and preferences in its local app data. It also stores first-launch and review-request information. These records support your settings, scan review and file-identity checks before cleanup.
You can remove saved folder access and clear file scan and cleanup history in Settings. Doing so does not delete original files, photos or Apple purchases. These controls are not forensic secure-erasure tools. The photo analysis catalog is held in memory. Photo cleanup dates, item counts, measured logical sizes and operation outcomes are saved locally; you can clear these separately in Photos & Videos. Widgets use a local shared summary of storage and the latest scan, without file names or photo content. Device backups may include app data, depending on your Apple backup settings.
Reminders and device information
Spaceora asks for notification permission when you first open the app. Ordinary supported reminders, alerts and practical tips start enabled for a new installation, but delivery requires your permission in Apple’s system dialog. Product and Pro offers require separate opt-in. Existing saved choices are preserved.
Spaceora stores your reminder choices and a local delivery record to apply quiet hours and limit repeated alerts. You can change each category in Spaceora and revoke notification permission in system Settings. Declining permission does not prevent scanning.
On Mac, permitted device-care features read available storage, processor, memory and power information locally while Spaceora is running. iPhone and iPad do not provide continuous system monitoring. Scheduled reminders can be delivered by the operating system while the app is closed; new measurements and summaries need the app to run.
Apple and cloud services
Apple handles payments and subscription management. Spaceora uses verified StoreKit purchase information to determine access to Pro features and does not receive your payment-card details. Apple’s own privacy practices apply to its services and system diagnostics.
iCloud and other file providers continue to operate under your account settings. Spaceora does not request downloads of cloud originals for photo analysis. Deleting a synchronized photo or file may also remove it from other devices using the same library or provider. Removing an eligible local iCloud download is a separate action from deleting its cloud original.
External help, subscription-management and legal links open the relevant provider’s service. See Apple’s privacy information.
This website
This is a static website hosted by Cloudflare. Serving and protecting a website requires processing request data, including your IP address, requested URL, request time and browser or device information. This network processing is separate from the app’s local file and photo analysis.
We do not add advertising, analytics scripts, third-party fonts or marketing cookies to this website. Cloudflare may process network and security data to deliver and protect it. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy for its practices, including international processing.
When you contact us
If you email us, we receive your email address, your message and anything you attach. We use this information to respond, investigate the issue and follow up. Our email service providers process that correspondence to deliver and store it. Please do not send passwords, payment-card details or personal files that are not needed to explain the problem.
We retain correspondence only as long as needed to handle the request, resolve related issues and meet applicable obligations. You may ask us to delete information you have sent. We do not sell personal information or use support messages for advertising.
We process support correspondence as necessary to assist you with the service, and website request data for our legitimate interest in delivering a reliable, secure website. Where applicable, we also process information to meet legal obligations.
Your choices and rights
Manage Photos permission in system Settings and saved folder access in Spaceora. You can use available features without granting photo access.
Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction or portability of personal information we hold, and object to relevant processing. Email spaceora@tvinnereimstudios.no. Local files and photos that never reach us remain under your control.
You may also contact your data protection authority. In Norway, this is Datatilsynet. This policy will be updated if the app or our practices change; the date above identifies this version.
