CleanSpaceLegal
Privacy Policy
The short version
- Your files, photos, app list and screen time are scanned on your phone and never uploaded.
- We collect anonymous usage counts and crash reports to fix bugs and improve the app — never file names, photo contents or which apps you use.
- No ads, no in-app purchases, and we never sell or share your data for advertising.
- No account, no name, no email address needed.
This policy explains what information CleanSpace ("the app", "we", "us") handles, why, and the choices you have. CleanSpace is developed by ASK Technology.
1. What stays on your phone
To do its job, CleanSpace reads information on your device. All of this is processed locally and is never sent to us or anyone else:
- Files and folders — names, sizes, types and dates, to find junk, large files and to show storage by category.
- Photos — compared on your phone to find duplicates and blurry shots, and re-encoded on your phone when you choose to compress one.
- Installed apps — names, sizes, last-used time and mobile data use, for App Manager.
- Usage statistics — screen time per app, for Usage Tracker.
- Device status — storage, memory, CPU speed, battery level and temperature, for the Home and Device screens.
- Your settings — such as whether Auto-Clean is on and how often it runs.
When you delete or uninstall something, it happens only after you confirm it. Uninstalling CleanSpace removes everything it stored on your phone.
2. What we collect
The app sends a small amount of information to Google Firebase so we can see which features are used and fix crashes. None of it identifies you by name.
| What | Examples | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Feature usage events | "Junk scan started", number of items found, total size found in MB, number of items deleted, a compressed photo's size before and after | Understand which tools are useful and how much space they free |
| Device and app information | Device model and manufacturer, Android version, app version, language, approximate country (derived from IP address), session length | Collected automatically by Firebase Analytics; used to support the right devices |
| Crash reports | Technical details of a crash (stack trace), device manufacturer, Android version, whether full file access was granted | Find and fix bugs |
| Anonymous identifiers | A random app-instance ID and a random anonymous user ID created on first launch — not linked to your name, email or Google account | Link events from the same install so counts and crash reports are accurate |
We do not collect file names, file contents, photos, the names of apps you have installed or use, your screen time, contacts, messages, precise location or your advertising ID.
Our legal basis for this processing (where GDPR or similar laws apply) is our legitimate interest in keeping the app working and improving it.
3. Services we use
Google Firebase (Analytics, Crashlytics, Authentication)
Firebase processes the information in section 2 on our behalf. Firebase Authentication is used only in anonymous mode — it creates a random ID and never asks for an account. See Firebase's privacy information and Google's Privacy Policy.
Cloudflare (Network Speed test)
Only when you run a speed test, the app downloads and uploads test data to speed.cloudflare.com. Like any website, Cloudflare receives your IP address to make the connection. The test data is random bytes — nothing from your phone is sent. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
Google Play
If you install CleanSpace from Google Play, Google handles the download and may collect information under its own policies. We receive only aggregated install and rating statistics.
4. Permissions
Every permission is optional. If you decline one, the related feature scans less or is unavailable, and the app tells you so.
| Permission | Used for |
|---|---|
| All files access | Scanning your whole phone for junk, duplicates and large files, and deleting the ones you choose |
| Photos, videos and audio | Finding duplicate photos and showing media by category |
| Usage access | App sizes, last-used time and screen time |
| See all installed apps | Listing your apps in App Manager so you can review and uninstall them |
| Request to delete apps | Opening Android's uninstall dialog when you choose to remove an app |
| Close background apps | The Clean RAM feature |
| Notifications | Telling you how much space Auto-Clean freed |
| Internet and network state | The speed test, analytics and crash reports |
5. What we never do
- Show ads or use advertising SDKs.
- Sell, rent or trade your information.
- Share your information for advertising or cross-app tracking.
- Upload your files, photos or app list.
- Use fake virus warnings, invented risk scores or other scare tactics.
6. Retention and security
Analytics events are kept for no longer than 14 months. Crash reports are kept for 90 days. After that they are deleted automatically. All data sent by the app is encrypted in transit (HTTPS).
7. Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live — including under the EU/UK GDPR, Brazil's LGPD and India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act — you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to object to processing, and to complain to your local data protection authority.
- Stop all collection: uninstall the app. Nothing more is sent after that.
- Delete collected data: email us at the address below. Because the data is anonymous, we may ask you to send the app-instance ID so we can find it.
- Revoke permissions: at any time in Android Settings → Apps → CleanSpace → Permissions.
We will reply within 30 days.
8. Children
CleanSpace is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
9. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page. If a change significantly affects how your data is used, we will also tell you in the app before it takes effect.
