Effective Date: August 08, 2025 · Version: 1.0
Developer: Sunsol Apps
Country: Pakistan

1. Introduction

Phone Cleaner by Sunsol Apps respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information when you use our cleaning, junk removal, and optimization features.

By using the Service you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Interpretation & Definitions

Capitalized words in this policy (for example: Account, Service, Personal Data) have meanings defined in the policy itself. Key definitions include:

  • Account — a unique account created to access parts of the Service.
  • Device — any device that can access the Service (phone, tablet, etc.).
  • Personal Data — any information relating to an identifiable person.
  • Usage Data — data collected automatically (for example, crash logs, duration of page visits).

2. Information We Collect

We do not collect your personal files such as photos, videos, or documents. The app may collect limited non-personal, device-related data (often via third-party services):

  • Device Information: Android version, device model, storage usage.
  • Advertising ID: Google Play Advertising ID for ads and analytics.
  • App Performance Data: crash logs and diagnostics (e.g., Firebase Crashlytics).
  • App Activity: interactions with ads and cleaning functions (for analytics/improvement).

All scanning and cleaning runs locally on the device — we never read, upload, or share private photos, videos, or documents.

3. Permissions We Use & Why

The app requests only the permissions required for its features. Example permissions and reasons:

  • MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE — required for advanced cleaning across folders (junk, residual cache, duplicates).
  • READ_MEDIA_IMAGES / VIDEO / AUDIO — (Android 13+) to analyze and clean residual or duplicate media.
  • READ/WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE — (Android 12 and below) legacy storage access for cleaning.
  • PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS — to analyze app usage and suggest memory optimization.
  • INTERNET / ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE — to show ads and retrieve updates.
  • POST_NOTIFICATIONS — optional, to notify users about reminders.

All permissions are user-controlled and requested transparently. You can revoke them in system settings at any time.

4. How We Use Data

Collected data may be used to:

  • Provide cleaning, junk removal, and optimization features.
  • Improve app stability and fix bugs (crash reports).
  • Display and measure ads (via Google AdMob).
  • Analyze usage trends to improve user experience.

5. Retention & Deletion

We retain Personal Data only as long as necessary for the purposes described. We do not store your personal files on our servers. App performance data (like crash logs) is kept only as long as necessary for troubleshooting.

You have the right to request deletion of Personal Data we hold about you. You can also clear app data or uninstall the app to remove locally stored temporary data.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell or trade personal data.

Non-personal data may be shared with trusted third-party partners for ads, analytics, or fraud prevention (for example: Google AdMob, Firebase). Data is encrypted in transit.

We may disclose Personal Data if required by law or to protect rights, to prevent fraud, or during business transactions (merger, acquisition).

7. Security

We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect Personal Data but cannot guarantee absolute security. All cleaning operations (file scanning, junk removal) are processed locally on the device — we do not upload private files to our servers.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our Service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 13.

9. Third-Party Services

The app may use the following services, each with their own privacy policies:

  • Google AdMob (Advertising)
  • Google Firebase (Analytics / Crash reports)
  • Google Play Services

10. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted with the updated Effective Date. Please review this page periodically.
