## What is ScrubShare?

See what your files say about you — then shut them up.

Every photo you share carries hidden baggage: your exact GPS location, your phone model, the second it was taken, sometimes even lens serial numbers. Documents name their authors, employers, and every edit. ScrubShare shows you all of it for free — and removes it in one tap with the ScrubShare Pro subscription ($1.99/month), right from the share sheet.

100% on device. Zero data collected. ScrubShare contains no networking code at all. No accounts, no analytics, no cloud, no third-party SDKs. Our App Store privacy label says "Data Not Collected" because there is literally nothing to collect. Your files never leave your phone.

WHAT IT CLEANS (requires ScrubShare Pro, $1.99/month) • Photos (JPEG, HEIC, PNG, TIFF): EXIF, GPS, XMP, IPTC, maker notes, serial numbers, owner name, embedded thumbnails — losslessly, without re-encoding your pixels • PDFs: author, title, creator, producer, dates and keywords • Word / Excel / PowerPoint: author, company, editing time, revision count, custom properties, document thumbnail

HONEST BY DESIGN • Inspect mode shows everything a file reveals — including a map pin of where a photo was taken — free, forever, no purchase needed • Every clean ends with a before/after report so you can verify the result • If something can't be removed (rare PDF metadata blocks), ScrubShare tells you instead of pretending

REDACT FACES & DETAILS (requires ScrubShare Pro) On-device face detection plus a manual brush. Pixelate or black-box; the redaction is burned into the pixels — never a removable overlay.

ONE SIMPLE SUBSCRIPTION Inspecting is free forever. All cleaning, batch mode, redaction, and always-clean sharing require the ScrubShare Pro auto-renewable subscription: $1.99/month, unlimited use, no tiers, no add-ons, cancel anytime.

Share smart. Share clean.
