Privacy Policy — AI Phone Cleaner

How we handle your information when you use the AI Phone Cleaner app for Android.

Effective: November 2, 2026 Last updated: November 2, 2026 Publisher: Kamelos Apps

Privacy at a glance

Your photos, videos and files stay on your phone. Scanning, duplicate detection, compression and the Private Vault all run on your device. We never upload, view or sell your media or documents.
No account needed. We don't ask for your name, email, phone number or contacts to use the app.
Ads and analytics: the free version shows ads through Google AdMob and uses Google Firebase / Google Analytics to measure performance and fix crashes. These services collect limited device data, such as advertising ID and app activity.
You're in control: you can manage ad consent in the app, reset your advertising ID, revoke permissions, or delete the app at any time.

1Who we are

AI Phone Cleaner (package name: com.fynotech.phonecleaner.storage.cleanup) ("the App") is published on Google Play by Kamelos Apps, operated by Kamelos Delivery Services (Private) Limited, Business City Plaza, Shop No. 29-30, Bosan Road, Multan 60000, Pakistan ("we", "us", "our").

We are the data controller for the limited personal data processed through the App. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, why, who we share it with, and the choices and rights you have. It should be read together with our Terms & Conditions.

2What the App does

AI Phone Cleaner helps you manage and free up storage on your Android device. Features include a storage overview, finding and deleting duplicate and similar photos, duplicate videos and old screenshots, finding large files, compressing photos and videos, swipe-to-sort for videos, and a PIN-protected Private Vault for hiding photos, videos and documents.

To do this, the App needs to read media and files stored on your device. All of this processing happens locally on your device.

3Information processed on your device only

The following data is accessed only to provide the App's features. It is not transmitted to us or to any third party, and we cannot see it:

Photos and videos — read to detect duplicates, similar shots, screenshots and large items, and to compress or move files you choose.
Files and documents — file names, sizes, types and locations, used to show large files and storage usage, only within folders or files you grant access to.
Storage information — total, used and free space, used for the storage dashboard.
Private Vault content — items you move into the Vault are stored in the App's private storage on your device.
Vault PIN — stored on your device in protected (hashed/encrypted) form. We cannot recover it for you.
App settings — such as language choice and preferences, stored locally.

On-device "AI": duplicate and similar-photo detection uses on-device image comparison. Your images are never sent to a server or used to train any model.

4Information collected automatically by third-party services

To keep the App free, stable and improving, we use the following Google services. They may automatically collect limited data from your device, as described below and in their own privacy policies.

Service	Purpose	Data it may collect
Google AdMob (and ad partners in AdMob mediation, if enabled)	Showing ads; frequency capping; fraud prevention; ad measurement; personalized ads where you have consented	Advertising ID, IP address (used to estimate approximate location), device model, OS version, language, app interactions with ads, crash data related to ads
Google Analytics for Firebase (GA4)	Understanding feature usage, app performance and improving the App	App instance ID, advertising ID (where permitted), app events (e.g., screens viewed, features used, purchases), device and OS info, approximate location (country/region), session data
Firebase Crashlytics	Detecting and fixing crashes and bugs	Crash logs and stack traces, device state at time of crash, installation UUID
Firebase Remote Config & Installations	Configuring features and ad settings without app updates	Firebase installation ID, app version, device language and country
Google Play Billing	Processing Premium subscriptions	Purchase token, product, subscription status. Payment details are handled entirely by Google — we never receive your card or bank information.
Google User Messaging Platform (UMP)	Collecting and storing your ad consent choices where required by law	Consent choices, device identifiers needed to record consent

We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, precise GPS location, SMS, call logs, or the content of your photos, videos or documents.

5Permissions we request and why

We only ask for permissions needed for the App's core storage-cleaning features. You can deny or revoke any permission in your device Settings; some features will then be unavailable.

Permission	Why it's needed
Photos and videos (READ_MEDIA_IMAGES, READ_MEDIA_VIDEO; READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE on older Android versions)	Scanning your gallery to find duplicate photos, duplicate videos, screenshots and large media; compressing media you select; moving items into the Private Vault. If you choose "Limited access", the App works only with the items you select.
File / folder access via Android's system file picker	Finding large documents and other files in folders you choose to share with the App
Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS)	Optional — progress of compression or cleaning tasks. You can turn these off anytime.
Internet and network state	Loading ads, analytics, crash reporting, remote configuration and subscription checks
Advertising ID (AD_ID)	Ad delivery, measurement and personalization where permitted
Billing (com.android.vending.BILLING)	Premium subscription purchases through Google Play
Foreground service (if used)	Keeping a compression or deletion task running while you watch its progress, so it isn't interrupted

Deletions always need your confirmation. When you delete or replace photos and videos, Android shows its own system confirmation dialog. The App never deletes your files silently.

6How we use information

To provide, operate and maintain the App's features.
To show ads in the free version and measure their performance.
To personalize ads, only where you have given consent where the law requires it.
To understand how features are used and improve the App.
To diagnose crashes, bugs and performance problems.
To manage Premium subscriptions and restore purchases.
To prevent fraud, invalid ad traffic and abuse, and to comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information for money, and we do not use your photos, videos or files for advertising, profiling or any purpose other than the feature you are using.

7Legal bases (EEA, UK and Switzerland users)

Consent — personalized advertising and related use of device identifiers, collected through the consent message shown when you open the App. You can withdraw consent anytime.
Contract — providing the App's features and any Premium subscription you purchase.
Legitimate interests — non-personalized ads, analytics, crash reporting, security and fraud prevention, balanced against your rights.
Legal obligation — where we must retain or disclose information by law.

8Advertising and your choices

Consent message: users in the EEA, UK, Switzerland and other regions where required will see a consent form (Google UMP) on first launch. You can change your choice later from Settings → Privacy & Ad Choices in the App.
US state privacy rights: where applicable (e.g., California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas and other states), you can opt out of targeted advertising / "sharing" through the same in-app option.
Advertising ID: you can reset or delete your advertising ID in your device's Settings → Google → Ads (or Settings → Privacy → Ads, depending on your device).
Go ad-free: Premium removes ads.

Ads in the App are labeled and never designed to look like system warnings or notifications.

9Premium subscription

Premium is sold as an auto-renewing subscription through Google Play. Google processes payment and shares only the purchase status and token with us so we can unlock Premium features. You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime in the Google Play Store app under Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions.

10Data sharing

We share data only:

With the service providers listed in Section 4, who process it for the purposes described.
If required by law, court order or a valid request from a public authority.
To protect the rights, property or safety of our users, the public or us.
In connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, in which case this Policy will continue to apply to your data or you will be notified.

11Data retention

On-device data (Vault items, PIN, settings) stays on your device until you delete it, clear the App's data, or uninstall the App.
Analytics data (GA4) is retained according to our Google Analytics retention settings, set to a maximum of 14 months.
Crash data (Crashlytics) is typically retained for up to 90 days.
Advertising data is retained by Google and its partners under their own policies.

Important about the Private Vault: Vault items are kept only inside the App on your device and are not backed up to any server. If you uninstall the App or clear its data, Vault items will be permanently deleted and cannot be recovered by us. Restore any items you want to keep before uninstalling.

12Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live (including under the GDPR, UK GDPR, California CCPA/CPRA and other US state laws, and Pakistan's laws), you may have the right to:

Access the personal data we hold about you and receive a copy;
Correct inaccurate data;
Delete your data;
Restrict or object to certain processing, including direct marketing and targeted ads;
Data portability;
Withdraw consent at any time (without affecting earlier lawful processing);
Not be discriminated against for exercising your rights;
Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Because we don't require an account, the data we hold through Firebase is linked only to random app and device identifiers. To make a request, email us at contact@kamelosapps.com with the subject "Privacy Request". We will respond within 30 days (or the period required by your local law) and may need to verify your request.

Quick ways to delete data yourself: uninstall the App (removes all on-device data), reset your advertising ID, and change your consent choice in the App.

13Children's privacy

The App is a general-audience utility and is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it. Where a user may be a child, ads are requested with child-directed or under-age-of-consent settings as required.

14Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, including encrypted network connections (HTTPS/TLS) for third-party services, local protection of your Vault PIN, and limiting permissions to what features need. No method of storage or transmission is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please keep your device and Vault PIN secure.

15International transfers

Our service providers (such as Google) may process data on servers in countries other than yours, including the United States. Where required, these transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

16Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page with a new "Last updated" date and, for material changes, notify you in the App. Continued use after changes take effect means you accept the updated Policy.
