Privacy Policy - Smart Photo & Video Cleaner
1. Introduction
Welcome to Smart Photo & Video Cleaner ("we", "our", or "us"), developed and published by Unique Apps Hub. We are fully committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our mobile application handles your device information, permissions, and data.
🔒 Privacy Commitment: Smart Photo & Video Cleaner operates on a strict 100% On-Device Processing architecture. Your photos, videos, contacts, and personal files are analyzed locally on your device and are NEVER uploaded to any remote server or cloud.
2. Information We Process Locally On-Device
To provide storage cleaning and optimization services, Smart Photo & Video Cleaner processes the following data locally on your device with your explicit permission:
- Photos & Images: Analyzed locally using perceptual algorithms to identify duplicate pictures, burst photos, low-quality/blurry images, and screenshots.
- Videos: Examined locally to identify large file sizes and enable video compression upon your instruction.
- Contacts: Scanned locally to discover duplicate contact names, duplicate phone numbers, or incomplete contact entries to allow one-tap merging.
- Private Vault: Media placed in the secret vault is kept strictly in local, private application storage on your device.
3. Device Permissions & Why We Need Them
In accordance with Google Play and Apple Developer policies, Smart Photo & Video Cleaner requests only the essential runtime permissions required to perform user-initiated features:
| Permission | Purpose & Local Scope |
|---|---|
| Photos & Media Access (READ_MEDIA_IMAGES, READ_MEDIA_VIDEO, READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) |
Required to scan device media, detect duplicate/blurry files, display thumbnails, compress heavy videos, and free up storage space when you choose to delete them. |
| Contacts Access (READ_CONTACTS, WRITE_CONTACTS) |
Required solely to find duplicate contacts and merge them when you tap the merge button. We never transfer or upload contact details. |
| Internet & Network State (INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE) |
Required to load advertisements (AdMob), check for app updates, and fetch remote configurations from Firebase. |
| Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS) |
Optional. Used to deliver storage cleanup reminders or update notifications. |
4. Third-Party Services & Advertising
Smart Photo & Video Cleaner is a free application supported by digital advertising. We integrate trusted third-party SDKs that may collect anonymous device identifiers (such as Android Advertising ID or IDFA) to serve ads and analyze app stability:
- Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads: Used to display banner, native, interstitial, and rewarded video ads.
Google Privacy Policy | AdMob Data Safety Info - Firebase Cloud Firestore & Remote Config: Used to manage app configuration flags and fetch updated terms.
Firebase Privacy Details - Google Analytics for Firebase: Collects aggregated, non-personally identifiable diagnostic events (e.g. app opening, screen views, crashes) to improve user experience.
5. Data Retention, Security & User Control
Because Smart Photo & Video Cleaner does not transmit or store personal files on cloud servers:
- User Deletion: Any photo, video, or contact deleted via the app is immediately removed from your device upon your explicit confirmation.
- App Uninstallation: Uninstalling the application completely deletes all cached thumbnails and local app data from your phone.
- Permission Control: You can revoke Media or Contact permissions at any time via your device's Settings > Apps > Smart Photo & Video Cleaner > Permissions.
