1. Overview & Privacy Commitment
Welcome to Phone Cleaner. Your privacy is paramount to us. This Privacy Policy details how our mobile application operates, how device permissions are utilized, and our strict commitment to safeguarding user privacy.
Phone Cleaner is designed as a privacy-first, on-device utility application. All cleaning operations, duplicate photo analyses, storage calculations, and system performance optimizations are processed 100% locally on your device.
Zero Remote Server Storage
We do not operate external databases, cloud servers, or remote analytics pipelines to collect your personal files, photos, contacts, or documents.
2. Information Collection & Usage
We believe in absolute data minimization. We do not collect, harvest, sell, or rent any personal information to third parties.
- No Personal Identifiers: We do not require account creation, email registration, names, phone numbers, or social logins.
- No Photo or File Uploads: Photos, media files, downloads, and app caches analyzed during cleaning sessions never leave your local device storage.
- No Location Tracking: We do not request, access, or track your GPS coordinates or precise geolocation data.
3. Required Device Permissions
To provide high-performance device cleaning, storage management, and app locking, Phone Cleaner requests explicit Android framework permissions. Each permission is requested strictly for its core feature:
4. Advertising & Google AdMob SDK
To support ongoing development and offer our cleaner tools for free, Phone Cleaner integrates Google AdMob advertising services.
Google AdMob may collect and process certain non-personally identifiable technical identifiers (such as Advertising ID, IP address, device specs, and app telemetry) to serve personalized or contextual advertisements in compliance with Google Play Developer Policies.
- You can opt out of personalized ads via your device settings: Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalization.
- For more information on Google's data practices, please review the Google Privacy Policy.
5. Security & On-Device Integrity
Your security is our top technical priority:
- SHA-256 Hash Verification: Duplicate file analysis calculates local cryptographic hashes on-device without transmitting file data.
- Explicit Deletion Confirmation: No file, photo, video, or app is ever deleted automatically without your explicit manual tap and confirmation.
- Standard Android Sandbox: The app operates within standard Android OS permission boundaries and sandbox controls.
