Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

Introduction

Welcome to Cleanup My Phone ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience when using our application. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information.

Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

• Photo Library Access: We access your photo library solely to identify duplicate photos, similar images, blurry photos, dark photos, screenshots, old screenshots, screen recordings, Live Photos, and burst photos for cleanup purposes. Your photos are processed entirely on your device and are never uploaded to our servers.
• Secret Album: When you use the Secret Album feature, photos and videos are encrypted and stored securely on your device. These files are protected by your password and/or Face ID/Touch ID. Secret Album data is stored only on your device and is never uploaded to our servers or any cloud service.
• On-Device AI Processing: We use machine learning models running entirely on your device to detect blurry images and analyze photo quality. No image data is ever sent to external servers for processing.
• Device Information: We may collect basic device information such as device model, operating system version, and app version for analytics and troubleshooting purposes.
• Usage Data: We collect anonymous usage statistics to improve our app's performance and user experience.

Google API Services (Email Cleaner)

Our Email Cleaner feature uses Google API Services to help you manage your Gmail inbox. Here's how we handle your Gmail data:

• Data Access: We access your Gmail account to read email metadata (sender, subject, date) to categorize emails and identify subscriptions, newsletters, and promotional messages.
• On-Device Processing: All email analysis and categorization happens entirely on your device. We do not store, transmit, or have access to the content of your emails on any external server.
• Data Usage: Your Gmail data is used solely to provide the Email Cleaner functionality within the app. We do not use your email data for advertising, marketing, or any purpose other than the email cleanup features you explicitly use.
• Data Sharing: We do not share, sell, or transfer your Gmail data to any third parties. Your email information never leaves your device.
• Data Retention: We do not retain any of your email data. When you disconnect your Gmail account or delete the app, all locally cached email data is removed.
• User Control: You can disconnect your Gmail account at any time from the app's Settings. Upon disconnection, all Gmail-related data is immediately deleted from your device.

Our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
