Privacy Policy

Introduction

Phone Cleaner ("we") takes your privacy very seriously. This policy explains how we collect, use, share, store, and protect your personal information. By using our app or services, you agree to this policy.

Children's Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe we have unintentionally collected your child's information, please contact us using the details at the end of this policy to have it deleted.

Scope

This policy applies to our users worldwide and all our services (apps, official website, etc.), unless a separate policy states otherwise. Please note that third-party services accessible through our app (such as advertisements) are governed by their own privacy policies, for which we are not responsible.

Permissions We Request

We request your permission for the following authorizations:

• Face ID Usage. Phone Cleaner uses Face ID to securely unlock your Photo Vault and protect your private photos and videos.
• Contacts Usage. Phone Cleaner needs access to your contacts to remove duplicate or incomplete contacts locally.
• Photo Library Usage. Phone Cleaner needs access to your photo library to help you delete unnecessary and similar photos and videos.

Information We Collect

We may collect the following information:

• Contact Information: Name, email address, etc., provided when you contact us, used to respond to your feedback, complaints, or inquiries.
• Transaction Records: Anonymous purchase records received from third-party platforms like the Apple App Store when you make in-app purchases. These records cannot be used to identify you.
• Technical & Service Data: We do not directly collect your device technical information (e.g., IP address, device model). However, we may obtain anonymous, non-personally identifiable technical data through third-party services like Google Analytics to analyze service usage.
• Service-Related Data: We collect abstract data related to your use of the app, such as your country and internet service provider. This data cannot be used to identify you.

We only collect your personal information after notifying you and obtaining your consent.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information only as permitted by law, primarily for:

• Fulfilling our contract or services with you.
• Communicating with you and responding to your requests and questions.
• Maintaining app security and support.
• Complying with legal obligations.
• Pursuing our legitimate interests (e.g., improving services, resolving disputes), provided these do not override your rights and interests.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties for direct marketing, nor do we engage in deep processing to obtain biometric information.

Information Sharing

We may share information with the following partners:

• Advertising Service Providers (e.g., Google AdMob, Applovin) to display ads within our app and on our website.
• AI Features: Our AI features, including AI Photo Repair, run entirely on your device using a machine learning model bundled inside the app. Your photos, and the results produced from them, are never uploaded to us or shared with any third-party AI provider.
• Other Circumstances: We may share information with third parties for legal, safety reasons, in connection with a business transfer, or with your consent.

We recommend you review the respective privacy policies of the third parties mentioned above.

Information Storage

• Location: Your photos, videos, contacts, and any content produced by our AI features stay on your device. Phone Cleaner does not store any of your data on our servers.
• Retention Period: We do not store your personal information.

Your Rights

Under applicable laws, you generally have the following rights:

• To access, correct, or delete your personal information.
• To object to or restrict our use of your information.
• To withdraw consent you have previously given.
• To data portability (please note we may not be able to provide a copy as we typically do not store your information).
• To lodge a complaint.

You can exercise some of these rights via the "Settings" in the app or by contacting us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.

AI Photo Repair Feature

When using the AI Photo Repair feature:

• The photo you select is processed entirely on your device, by a machine learning model that ships inside the app. It is not uploaded to our servers or to any third party, and the feature works without an internet connection.
• We do not collect, store, or transmit your photos, any biometric or facial data derived from them, or the repaired results. The repaired image exists only on your device, and is saved to your photo library only when you choose to save it.

Advertising

We do not send promotional information via email, SMS, phone calls, or physical mail. We use Google AdMob and Applovin to serve advertisements. Clicking on ad links will direct you to third parties whose privacy policies are not controlled by us; please review them carefully.

Region-Specific Terms
