# Privacy Policy for SpaceCleaner

**Last Updated: July 31, 2026**

## 1. Our Commitment to Your Privacy

SpaceCleaner is built on a core principle: **your data stays on your device.** We do not upload, collect, or store your photos, videos, contacts, calendar events, on any remote server. All analysis and processing happen locally on your iPhone using on-device machine learning and algorithms.

## 2. What We Access (And Why)

| Permission | Purpose | Data Handling |

|---|---|---|

| **Photo Library** | Detect duplicate/similar photos, blurry images, screenshots, Live Photos, and large videos for cleanup. Compress videos. | All analysis is performed on-device. Nothing is uploaded. Deleted items go to your **Recently Deleted** album (30-day recovery). |

| **Contacts** | Detect duplicate contacts and incomplete entries, merge them with your confirmation. | All processing is on-device. No contacts leave your phone. |

| **Calendar** | Find expired events and past reminders for cleanup. | On-device only. |

| **Face ID / Biometrics** | Authenticate access to your Secret Vault (encrypted photo/video storage). | Biometric data is handled exclusively by Apple's LocalAuthentication framework. SpaceCleaner never receives raw biometric data. |

| **Notifications** | Storage alerts when free space is low. | Local notifications, processed on-device. |

## 3. Data That Never Leaves Your Device

- Photos, videos, and Live Photos

- Contact names, phone numbers, and emails

- Calendar event details

- Secret Vault PIN and encrypted files (AES-256 encrypted at rest)

## 4. What We Do Collect (Minimal & Anonymous)

- **App usage analytics** (anonymous, opt-in): crash reports, feature usage counts, and performance metrics via Apple's built-in analytics framework. No personal identifiers are attached.

- **Storage statistics**: used/free space percentages (displayed locally, not transmitted).

- **Purchase history**: handled entirely by Apple's App Store and StoreKit; we do not have access to your payment information.

## 5. Third-Party Services

SpaceCleaner integrates with:

- **Cloudflare Speed Test**: an optional network diagnostic tool that sends anonymized speed test data to Cloudflare's public benchmark endpoints. No personal data is transmitted.

## 6. Your Control

- Secret Vault files can be permanently deleted or restored to your photo library at any time.

- App permissions can be withdrawn via iOS Settings at any time.

## 7. Children's Privacy

SpaceCleaner is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

## 8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted within the app and on our website.
