Phone Cleaner respects user privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how the Phone Cleaner app accesses, uses, and protects information when you use the app.
## Information Accessed by the App
Phone Cleaner may request certain device permissions so the app features can work properly, including:
- Storage access to scan large files, duplicate files, screenshots, similar photos, temporary files, and files that can be cleaned.
- Access to the list of installed apps to show rarely used apps, support app backup features, and enable App Lock.

- Display over other apps permission to show the lock screen for the App Lock feature.
- Permission to request app deletion to help users open the Android system uninstall confirmation.

## How We Use Information
The information accessed by the app is used only to provide the app’s core features, such as:
- Analyzing device storage usage.
- Displaying files that can be cleaned.
- Helping users delete unnecessary files.
- Showing rarely used apps.
- Locking apps selected by the user.
- Creating backups of files or apps selected by the user.
- Improving device performance through cleaning and optimization features.
## Data Storage and Transfer
Phone Cleaner processes file, media, app, and device usage data locally on the user’s device.
The app does not sell, rent, or share users’ personal data with third parties for commercial purposes. Personal files such as photos, documents, videos, and other files are not uploaded to our servers by the app.
Some app settings, such as the App Lock PIN, list of locked apps, and feature preferences, may be stored locally on the device.

## Storage Permission
The app may request broad storage access to find and clean unnecessary files. This access is used only to display, select, and delete files based on user actions.
Phone Cleaner does not delete files without the user’s consent or action.
## Data Security
We make reasonable efforts to protect user data by limiting data processing to the device and requesting only the permissions needed to provide app features. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure.
## Children’s Privacy
Phone Cleaner is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
