Liber Privacy Policy
Version of 25 August 2026
Liber helps you understand what is taking up room on your phone, sort through it and, if you wish, put some files somewhere safe.
Analysing and sorting your photo library happens directly on your phone. No file is sent to Holeb Technologies during these operations. Only the files you expressly choose to archive are sent to the Vault.
1. Data controller
Liber is published by:
Holeb Technologies
Single-shareholder simplified joint-stock company, share capital €1,000.00
RCS Paris 930 925 631
60 rue François 1er
75008 Paris, France
For any question about your personal data: bonjour@holebtechnologies.com
2. What stays on your phone
The cleaning and sorting features are designed to work locally. In this context, Holeb Technologies does not receive:
- the contents of your photo library;
- the detailed results of its analysis;
- the files you decide to keep or remove;
- your contacts;
- your GPS location;
- the six-digit code for your Vault;
- any advertising identifier.
The Vault code stays on your device and is not sent to Holeb Technologies.
When you choose to archive a file, it is sent to the Vault. Liber checks that the transfer is complete and that the stored copy is intact before offering to remove the original from your phone. The decision to remove is always yours.
3. The data we process
3.1 Creating and managing your account
When you create an account, we may process the following data:
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Email address | Creating your account, identifying you and contacting you |
| Phone number, if provided | Securing your account and making it easier to regain access |
| First name, if provided | Personalising the greeting in the app |
| Country | Adapting the currency, payment methods and certain accounting obligations |
| Subscription and purchase history | Managing your subscription, your payments and our accounting obligations |
An email address is required to create and run the account. Data shown as optional may be left blank.
This processing is necessary to perform the service you ask us for.
3.2 Using the Vault
When you use the Vault, we process only the items you choose to put in it:
- photos;
- videos;
- audio files;
- documents;
- file names;
- folder names;
- informations techniques nécessaires à leur stockage, comme leur taille, leur format et leur date de dépôt.
This data is used to store, display, organise, download and remove the contents of your Vault. The processing is necessary to provide the archiving service.
3.3 Messages sent to Holeb Technologies
When you write to us, we process:
- your reply address;
- the content of your message;
- the information needed to follow up on your request.
We use this data only to reply to you, solve a problem or follow up on our relationship with you.
This processing relies on performance of the service or on our legitimate interest in answering the requests we receive.
3.4 Notifications
If you turn notifications on, we keep a technical token allowing a notification to be sent to the app installed on your device.
Our notifications contain neither your files nor their contents. Delivery is handled by Apple or Google, depending on your device.
You can turn notifications off at any time in your phone’s settings.
3.5 Usage statistics
We collect limited statistics to understand how Liber is used and to improve how it works. They may include:
- a random identifier tied to the installation;
- the day of use;
- a broad geographic area;
- the number of items handled;
- the total amount of space freed.
We receive neither the contents of the files concerned, nor their names, nor the decision made for each file.
The identifier used for this purpose:
- is not an advertising identifier;
- is not sold;
- is not cross-referenced with other companies’ data;
- disappears from your device if you uninstall Liber;
- is deleted from our statistics after thirteen months at the latest.
These statistics rely on our legitimate interest in measuring and improving how Liber works. You can object at any time in the app, More tab, “Help improve Liber” setting, or by writing to us. When you refuse, nothing further is sent, and whatever had already been noted on your device is erased.
4. Technical data and security
When your phone communicates with our services, some technical information may be processed temporarily in order to:
- establish the connection;
- secure your account;
- prevent abuse;
- diagnose an error;
- keep the service available.
This information may include the IP address, device type, app version, connection date and error logs.
It is not used for advertising or to build a commercial profile.
5. What we do not do
Holeb Technologies:
- does not sell your data;
- does not use your data for advertising;
- does not ask for access to your contacts;
- does not ask for access to your GPS location;
- does not decide for you which files to remove;
- does not use the contents of your Vault to train an artificial intelligence system;
- makes no automated decision producing legal effects concerning you.
6. Protecting your data
Communications between Liber and our services are protected in transit. Files placed in the Vault are also protected while stored.
Access to systems and data is limited to the people and providers who need it to run, secure or support the service.
We apply technical and organisational measures suited to the nature of the data processed. Since no computer system can guarantee zero risk, these measures are reviewed regularly.
7. Retention periods
We keep data only for as long as each use requires.
| Data | Period |
|---|---|
| Active account | For as long as you use the service |
| File removed by the user | 30 days in the bin, then deletion |
| Vault after a subscription ends | 30 days to retrieve the files, then moved to the bin and deleted after 60 days at the latest |
| Inactive free account | Up to 12 months of inactivity, after two warnings |
| Usage statistics | 13 months at most |
| Notification token | Until it is revoked, notifications are turned off, or the account is deleted |
| Messages sent to support | As long as needed to handle and follow up on the request |
| Invoices and accounting records | 10 years, as required by applicable accounting obligations |
Before any automatic deletion linked to inactivity or to a subscription ending, we send two warnings to the latest contact details saved in the account.
Some data may be kept longer where a legal obligation requires it, or where it is needed to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim.
8. Hosting and service providers
Files placed in the Vault are hosted with OVHcloud, in data centres located in Europe.
We also use service providers to deliver certain Liber features:
| Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|
| OVHcloud | File storage |
| Railway | Hosting of technical services, in a European region |
| Brevo | Sending service emails |
| Apple or Google | Account sign-in, notifications and platform-related services |
| Apple or Google | Managing subscriptions bought from their respective stores |
These providers receive only the data needed for their function. Some, notably Apple and Google, may also process data under their own responsibility to run their store, their services, your account with them or the payments they collect. Such processing is then governed by their own privacy policies.
Where using a provider involves processing data outside the European Economic Area, we check that a mechanism recognised by European law governs that processing.
9. Payments
Payments made from the app are handled by the store or the payment provider chosen.
Holeb Technologies receives the information needed to:
- confirm the purchase;
- activate or renew the subscription;
- handle refunds and disputes;
- keep its accounts.
Holeb Technologies does not receive your full card details when the payment is collected directly by Apple, Google or another payment provider.
The payment methods offered may vary by country and by platform.
10. Your rights
Depending on your situation and the legal basis for the processing, you may exercise the following rights:
- access your data;
- have it corrected;
- request its erasure;
- obtain a copy in a portable format;
- request restriction of processing;
- object to certain processing;
- withdraw your consent where processing relies on it.
Two actions are available directly in Liber:
- Download everything, to retrieve the contents of your Vault;
- Delete my account, to request deletion of your account and its contents.
Deleting the account leads to the deletion or anonymisation of data that is no longer needed. Information we must keep to meet a legal obligation, in particular accounting records, is archived separately for the required period.
To exercise any other right: bonjour@holebtechnologies.com
We may ask for additional information if it is needed to check that the request concerns your account.
You may also lodge a complaint with the French data protection authority (CNIL) : www.cnil.fr.
11. Users under 15
Liber is not intended for children under 15.
If we learn that an account was created by a child under 15 without the necessary authorisation, we will take appropriate steps to delete the account and the associated data.
12. Changes to this policy
The date at the top of this page shows the version currently in force.
If a significant change affects how we use your data or the rights available to you, we will tell you in Liber or through the contact details linked to your account.
