Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 29, 2025

Introduction

Welcome to CleanerPro. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application. CleanerPro is designed with privacy as a core principle - all photo analysis happens locally on your device.

Information We Collect

Information Stored Locally on Your Device

CleanerPro stores the following information locally on your device:

• Photo analysis results and cached data
• Perceptual hashes of photos (for similarity detection)
• User preferences and app settings
• Purchase history and subscription status

This information is stored using iOS's local storage (Core Data) and is never transmitted to our servers.

Photo Access and Processing

CleanerPro requires access to your photo library to function. Here's how we handle your photos:

• Local Processing Only: All photo analysis happens on your device
• No Photo Uploads: Photos never leave your device
• Temporary Analysis: Photos are analyzed in memory and immediately released

When you use CleanerPro, we automatically collect certain information about your device and usage patterns:

• Device Information: Device model, iOS version, unique device identifiers
• Usage Data: App sessions, features used, analysis completion rates
• Performance Data: Crash logs, performance metrics, error reports
• Photo Library Stats: Number of photos, analysis duration (no actual photo content)
