Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 28, 2026

Welcome to AI Storage Cleaner ("we", "our", or "us"). We prioritize your privacy and are committed to safeguarding your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how our application collects, uses, stores, and protects data when you use our mobile application.

1. Information We Collect and Process

AI Storage Cleaner is designed with a privacy-first, on-device architecture. Most file analyses, size calculations, duplicate detections, and cache indexing occur locally on your device.

• Media & File Metadata: The app indexes photo, video, and file metadata (such as file size, resolution, timestamp, and duplicate hashes) locally to provide cleaning recommendations.
• AI Insights (Gemini AI Integration): When utilizing optional AI insights, anonymized file metadata statistics (such as total item count and category file sizes) may be processed via secure Google Gemini API endpoints to generate cleaning routines. Your actual personal photos, private documents, and file contents are never transferred to external servers.
• App Performance & Diagnostics: Anonymous crash reports and aggregate performance metrics may be logged locally to ensure application stability.

2. Permissions Requested

To deliver storage optimization features, AI Storage Cleaner requests the following standard Android permissions:

• Storage & Media Access: Required to scan, organize, and delete selected junk files, duplicate media, and app caches upon your explicit user confirmation.
• Notifications: Used optionally to alert you of low storage space or completed cleanup tasks.

3. Data Sharing & Third-Party Access

We do NOT sell, trade, rent, or share your personal data with third parties or advertisers. We do not track users across other apps or websites.

4. Data Retention & Deletion

All file deletions performed within the app (such as purging duplicate photos or clearing app caches) are executed directly on your device storage. You maintain full control over which files are deleted or retained in your local Vault.

5. Children's Privacy

Our application does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us for immediate removal.

6. Security Measures

We employ industry-standard security practices, encrypted API communications (HTTPS/TLS), and local sandboxing to prevent unauthorized access to your file metadata.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any updates will be published within the application and effective immediately upon posting.
