Privacy Policy
🔒 Key Commitment: Your privacy and data security are our highest priorities. All file browsing, storage analyzing, and junk cleaning operations are performed 100% locally on your device. We do NOT collect, upload, monitor, or share any of your personal files, photos, videos, or documents.
1. Introduction
Welcome to Smart Storage Cleaner & File Manager ("we", "our", or "us"). This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information when you use our Android mobile application.
By downloading, installing, or using our app, you agree to the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy.
2. Storage Permissions & Local Processing
To provide core file management and storage cleaning functionality, our application requests access to storage permissions in accordance with Google Play Developer Policies:
- All Files Access (MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE / READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE): This permission is required solely to enable you to browse directories, view storage usage breakdown, organize/copy/move/delete files, identify leftover cache/temp junk, detect duplicate files, and restore items from the Recycle Bin.
- Media Permissions (READ_MEDIA_IMAGES, READ_MEDIA_VIDEO, READ_MEDIA_AUDIO): Used to categorize and present your media files neatly in the categorized browser.
Zero Data Transmission: None of your personal files, file names, photos, media, or directory contents are ever transmitted to our servers or any third-party service. All file scanning and deletion are executed strictly under your direct control on your device.
3. Information We Collect & Third-Party Services
Our app does not require account creation or registration. However, to maintain application performance, fix crashes, and display advertisements, we integrate standard, privacy-vetted third-party SDKs:
- Google AdMob (Advertising): We display banner, interstitial, native, and rewarded advertisements via Google AdMob. Google may collect anonymous device identifiers (e.g., Google Advertising ID, device model, operating system version) to serve non-personalized or personalized ads as permitted by your device settings. You can learn more by reviewing Google's Privacy Policy.
- Firebase Remote Config & Analytics: Used to dynamically configure application feature parameters and monitor aggregate, non-personally identifiable app metrics (such as daily active users and app feature usage) to improve app quality.
- Firebase Crashlytics: Collects anonymous crash logs and diagnostic performance reports to help us resolve bugs and improve stability.
4. How We Use Information
Any non-personal technical information collected by third-party SDKs is used solely to:
- Deliver core application functionality and maintain system reliability.
- Diagnose technical bugs and crashes.
- Serve contextual and relevant advertisements that support free access to the app.
- Deliver dynamic configuration settings seamlessly.
5. Data Security & Retention
We do not operate servers that store your personal files or credentials. All file operations and cache cleaning are processed in memory and locally on device storage. We take all reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect any diagnostic data handled by our third-party service providers.
6. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
Our application is not intended for or directed toward children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personally identifiable information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately, and we will take appropriate measures.
7. User Control & Opt-Out
You maintain full control over your privacy settings:
- Permissions: You can grant or revoke storage and notification permissions at any time through your Android device's Settings > Apps > Smart Storage Cleaner > Permissions.
- Ad Personalization: You can reset or opt out of personalized advertising via Settings > Google > Ads > Reset Advertising ID / Delete Advertising ID.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable legal requirements. The updated policy will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
