This Privacy Policy explains how Easy Clean (“the App”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) handles information when you use the App on Google Play. Media cleanup, compression, and photo-privacy features are designed to process content on your device. We do not operate a user account system or cloud backup of your photos or videos.
1. Who we are
Easy Clean is a free Android storage-cleaning and device-utility app distributed on Google Play. For privacy questions or requests, use the contact email at the bottom of this page.
2. Scope
This Policy applies to the Easy Clean mobile application and related in-app experiences (including onboarding, Premium purchases, ads, analytics, and support emails).
3. Information we process
3.1 Information processed on your device (not uploaded by us as media content)
To provide core features, the App may access files and device capabilities locally, including:
- Storage and media files (images, videos, audio, documents, caches, APKs, empty folders, WhatsApp media, screenshots, large/duplicate/similar files) for scanning, cleaning, compressing, shredding, recycle-bin recovery, and related tools
- Photo metadata (EXIF) such as GPS/location tags, for the Photo Privacy feature that can remove location-related metadata on-device
- Installed apps and usage-related information (where permitted) for app management, storage insights, and App Lock
- Notifications (via Notification Access, if you grant it) for notification cleanup features
- Camera (if you grant it) for Break-in selfie / intrusion capture related to App Lock, and flashlight-related utilities
- Location / Wi‑Fi information (if you grant it) for Wi‑Fi safety and connectivity checks
- Biometric / lock credentials you set in the App for App Lock (stored and verified locally according to the App’s lock settings)
- Clipboard content when you use clipboard tools
- Local preferences and history such as settings, language, dark mode, recycle-bin records, and feature quotas stored on-device (for example via local databases or preferences)
Important: Photo compression, video compression, similar-photo detection, EXIF stripping, file shredding, and most cleanup operations are performed on your device. We do not upload your photo or video content to our servers for those features.
3.2 Information collected through services (online)
Depending on your consent, region, and settings, the App and integrated service providers may collect:
- Device and app diagnostics — for example app version, OS version, device model/manufacturer, crash logs, performance data, and an anonymous install identifier used for crash reporting
- Usage analytics — feature interaction events and similar app usage metrics used to understand product performance and improve the App
- Advertising identifiers and ad interaction data — such as Google Advertising ID (where available), IP address, coarse device info, and ad view/click events used to show and measure ads
- Purchase / subscription status — processed through Google Play Billing when you buy or restore Premium (monthly, yearly, or lifetime). We do not receive your full payment card details; Google handles payment processing
- Remote configuration data — non-personal configuration used to manage ad placement, feature flags, or frequency controls
- Network test traffic — when you run speed-test or connectivity checks, the App may exchange test data with third-party endpoints (for example public connectivity/speed-check endpoints)
- Support communications — if you email us, we receive your email address and the content of your message. Feedback emails may include app version, Android version, and device model you choose to send
3.3 Information we do not collect as an account platform
- We do not require you to create an Easy Clean account
- We do not provide cloud sync of your gallery or cleaned files to an Easy Clean-operated user cloud
- We do not sell your personal information
4. Permissions and why we ask for them
Depending on Android version and the feature you use, the App may request permissions such as:
- Photos / media / files / all-files access — scan and manage storage, compress media, remove EXIF location tags, delete or recycle files
- Internet / network state / Wi‑Fi — ads, analytics, remote config, speed/connectivity tools
- Notifications — reminders and notification-cleanup features
- Usage access / query installed packages — app manager insights and related utilities (where allowed by the platform)
- Display over other apps / foreground service — App Lock monitoring and related overlays
- Camera — Break-in capture and flashlight-related functions
- Location — Wi‑Fi safety / network-related checks
- Biometric — unlock App Lock with fingerprint/face where supported
- Install / delete packages — uninstall or install flows you initiate (subject to system confirmation)
- Advertising ID — personalized or non-personalized advertising as permitted by Google Play and your settings
You can deny or revoke permissions in Android settings. Some features will not work without the related permission.
5. How we use information
- Provide, maintain, and improve App features
- Show ads in the free version and manage Premium entitlements
- Measure product usage and diagnose crashes
- Respond to support requests
- Enforce Terms of Use and protect against abuse or fraud
- Comply with applicable law and Google Play requirements
6. Advertising and Premium
The free version of Easy Clean may display ads served by Google AdMob and related Google advertising services. Ads may use device identifiers and similar signals. You may see options to manage ad personalization through your Google account / device ad settings, and (where required) consent choices shown in the App.
Premium subscriptions or lifetime purchases can remove ads and unlock additional features according to the in-app offer. Billing is handled by Google Play.
7. Third-party services
We use trusted third-party providers to operate the App. These providers process data under their own privacy policies, including:
- Google AdMob — advertising
- Google Firebase (Analytics, Crashlytics, Remote Config) — analytics, crash reporting, configuration
- Google Play Billing — in-app purchases and subscriptions
- Network utility endpoints (for example Cloudflare or other public connectivity/speed-check services) — when you run related tools
Please review Google’s policies for ads and Firebase. Third parties may collect device identifiers, IP address, and usage data as described in their documentation.
8. Analytics and consent
Analytics collection is intended to be enabled only after you accept the App’s privacy-related consent during onboarding (or equivalent in-app control). You may also control certain advertising and device identifiers through Android/Google settings.
9. Data retention
- On-device data (settings, recycle bin, lock settings, locally saved captures) remains on your device until you clear App data, uninstall the App, or delete the relevant items in-feature
- Crash and analytics data are retained by Google Firebase according to their retention practices and our configuration
- Support emails are retained as needed to respond to your request and for legitimate business records
- Purchase records are retained by Google Play as part of your Google account purchase history
10. Data security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate to an app of this type. Because many sensitive operations happen on-device, protecting your device lock screen, App Lock PIN/biometrics, and OS permissions is essential. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
11. Children’s privacy
Easy Clean is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us using the email at the bottom of this page and we will take appropriate steps.
12. International processing
Our service providers (including Google) may process information in the United States and other countries. By using the App, you understand that your information may be transferred to jurisdictions with different data-protection laws than your own.
13. Your rights and choices
Depending on your location (for example EEA/UK/California), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain personal data, or to object to certain processing. To make a request, use the contact email at the bottom of this page.
You can also:
- Revoke permissions in Android Settings
- Reset or limit advertising ID in device settings
- Manage or cancel subscriptions in Google Play
- Uninstall the App to stop on-device processing by Easy Clean
- Clear App storage to remove local App data
14. Data deletion request
Because most user content is stored only on your device, uninstalling the App or clearing App data deletes local Easy Clean data. For analytics/crash identifiers or support-email data that may be associated with you, contact us using the email at the bottom of this page with your request and enough detail for us to locate relevant records. See also our Data Deletion Request page.
15. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version with a revised “Last updated” date. Material changes may also be communicated in the App or on Google Play where appropriate. Continued use of the App after an update means you acknowledge the updated Policy.
