Effective date: May 25, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Metadata Cleaner (the “App”), published by myworkingmemory LLC (“we,” “us”), handles your information. In short: the App does its work entirely on your device, requires no account, and we do not receive, upload, store, or have access to your files or any personal information.
Metadata Cleaner helps you remove hidden information (such as author names,
comments, tracked
changes, and document metadata) from Word .docx and PDF files before
you share them. You
select a file using Apple’s document picker; the App scans it, creates a separate
cleaned copy
on your device, and lets you share or save that copy. The App is not a
redaction tool:
it removes hidden document information, not content that is visible on the
page.
Scanning and cleaning happen on your device. The App does not connect to the internet to clean your files, and contains no analytics or tracking code. The only network use is optional subscription purchases (“Annual Access”), which are processed by Apple’s App Store under Apple’s terms; we receive no payment information and no purchase-identifying personal data. Your file contents are never sent to us or to any third party by the App.
We do not collect personal information. We do not require an account, we do not track you, and we do not use analytics or advertising identifiers. We do not receive your documents, their contents, file names, or metadata. Subscription transactions are handled entirely by Apple; we do not receive your name, email, or payment details.
You control which files you select and where you save or share the cleaned copy. The App creates a cleaned copy and does not modify your original file. Temporary working files used during cleaning are stored only on your device and are removed when you finish; any temporary files left over (for example, if the App is closed before you finish) are removed the next time you open the App. If you choose to share a cleaned copy to another app or service using the system share sheet, that destination’s handling of the file is governed by its own terms and privacy policy, not this one.
The App does not use cookies, advertising identifiers, analytics frameworks, or tracking technologies, and does not allow any third party to do so through the App.
We do not sell, rent, or share personal information, because we do not collect it.
The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children. The App collects no data from any user.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date above and post the revised policy at this page. Your continued use of the App after an update means you accept the revised policy.
