Effective Date: August 13, 2026 | Last Updated: August 13, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how GZ Medi Group (HK) Company Limited ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores and protects your information when you use the Clean Up Storage: Al Cleaner mobile application ("the App"). This policy is intended to comply with applicable U.S. privacy laws, including CCPA/CPRA, COPPA, FTC privacy guidelines and the Apple App Store Review Guidelines.

Important Notice: Clean Up Storage: Al Cleaner is designed as a local-first storage cleaning utility. Photo, video, contact, calendar and file scan results are generally processed on your device to help you find duplicates, similar items, large files, screenshots, blurry photos or other content you may choose to review and delete. We do not sell your personal information or use your private media content for advertising.

Please read this policy carefully before using the App. By continuing to use the App, you confirm that you have read and understood this policy.

1. Information We Collect and Use

We process information only in line with the principles of lawfulness, fairness, transparency and necessity.

1.1 Core Cleaning Data (On-Device First)

Photos and videos: The App may analyze selected or permitted photos and videos to identify duplicates, similar media, screenshots, screen recordings, blurry photos, large videos, old files and other storage categories. This analysis is generally performed on your device.
Cleaning suggestions: Suggested duplicates, similarity groups, file sizes, dates, albums, storage estimates and cleanup results may be generated and stored locally to provide App features.
Contacts and calendar items: If you grant permission, the App may analyze contacts or calendar entries to identify duplicates, incomplete records or items you may choose to merge or delete.
App preferences: Cleaning filters, scan history, selected categories, language settings, subscription status cache and other preferences may be stored locally to provide a consistent user experience.

1.2 System Permissions

We may request the following permissions to deliver features. You may withdraw or change permissions at any time in your device settings:

Photos: for scanning, grouping, previewing and deleting user-selected or permitted photos and videos. The App does not delete media automatically without your action.
Contacts: optional, for finding duplicate or incomplete contacts and helping you review, merge or delete selected contact records.
Calendar: optional, if available in your App version, for identifying duplicate or outdated calendar events you may choose to review or remove.
Files / Document Picker: optional, for reviewing user-selected files or exported cleanup reports where supported.

1.3 Purchase and Subscription Information

If you purchase a subscription or other in-app product, payment is handled by Apple through your Apple ID. We do not receive your full payment card number, billing address or Apple ID password. We may receive limited purchase information such as product identifier, transaction status, subscription status, renewal status and non-sensitive transaction identifiers solely to unlock paid features, prevent fraud, provide support and comply with platform requirements.

To improve stability, performance and user experience, we may collect de-identified or aggregated technical data such as device model, iOS version, app version, crash logs, diagnostic events, general region, language setting, feature usage statistics, scan performance metrics and network status. We do not use this data to identify you as an individual.
