AI Cleaner – Privacy Policy

Summary

AI Cleaner helps you free up storage on your phone. All scanning and analysis happen on your device. We (SV Tech) do not upload, collect or store your photos, videos, files, messages, contacts or app list, and we have no account system. The free version shows ads from Google AdMob, which collects some device data to show and measure ads, as described below.

What the app looks at, and why

• Photos and videos (Android "Photos and videos" permission): to find duplicates, similar and blurry photos, screenshots and large videos, and to compress photos or videos you choose. Photos are analysed on the device using small thumbnails; nothing is sent anywhere.
• All files access (Android "All files access"): to find and remove junk files, empty folders, thumbnail caches, APK install files, old downloads, large files and WhatsApp/Telegram media in shared storage, to show the storage map, and to let Android clear all app caches at once.
• Usage access (Android "Usage access"): to show each app's size, cache size and when you last used it, so you can find apps you no longer need.
• Battery and device information: battery level, temperature, voltage, charge cycles and basic phone details are read to show them to you in the app.

Nothing is deleted without your action. Deleted photos and videos go to your phone's own trash (kept by Android for about 30 days), and deleted files go to the app's Recycle Bin for 7 days so you can restore them.

Data kept on your phone

The app stores its settings, your cleaning statistics (for example total space freed), Swipe Clean history and streak, Recycle Bin index and a cache of photo analysis results on your device. This data is never sent to us. Uninstalling the app or clearing its storage deletes it.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

The free version uses Google AdMob to show app-open ads, full-screen ads at natural breaks, banners, native ads and optional rewarded video ads (for example to clean everything in one tap or to compress a video). To serve, limit, measure and protect ads, Google may collect and process:

• your device's advertising ID and other device identifiers,
• IP address (which can show your approximate location),
• basic device information and how you interact with ads,
• diagnostic information such as crash and performance data of the ad SDK.

This data is handled by Google under the Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from apps. Where required (for example in the EEA, UK and some US states), the app asks for your consent through Google's consent form, and you can change your choice in the app under You > Ad privacy choices.

Because the free version is paid for by ads, the app checks whether ads can be delivered: it looks at whether a VPN or an ad-blocking Private DNS is active on the device and whether Google's ad servers can be reached. These checks run on the device and do not send personal information to us. If ads are blocked, the free version asks you to switch the blocker off or upgrade to Premium.

Purchases (Premium)

Premium is a monthly or yearly subscription sold through Google Play. Payment is handled entirely by Google Play; we never see your card or payment details. The app only receives Google Play's confirmation that an active subscription belongs to your Google account. You can cancel anytime in Google Play > Payments & subscriptions.

Notifications

If you allow notifications, the app creates helpful alerts on your phone, for example when storage is nearly full, your battery is overheating, a large new video can be compressed, or a weekly summary is ready. They are generated on the device from your phone's storage information; no notification data is sent to us. Each type has its own channel in Android Settings, and you can turn all of them off in the app or in Android Settings.

App integrity

To protect users from modified copies, the app checks that it is the genuine version from Google Play (its signature and installer). These checks run on the device. If Google Play Integrity is enabled, Google provides a verdict about the app and device, handled under Google's privacy policy.

Children

AI Cleaner is a utility for general audiences and is not directed at children under 13.

Security and retention

All network traffic from the ad and billing SDKs is encrypted. Because we don't collect personal data, we have nothing to retain or delete on our side. Data kept on your phone is removed when you uninstall the app.

Changes

We may update this policy when the app changes. The date at the top shows the latest version.
