This Privacy Policy explains how Gubbins Cleaner ("the App", "we", "us") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our Android application. We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with Google Play policies and applicable data protection laws.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information Collected Automatically
- Device Information: Device model, operating system version, and language settings — used solely to ensure compatibility and improve the App.
- App Usage Data: Feature usage frequency, crash logs, and performance diagnostics — collected via Firebase Crashlytics (or similar crash reporting SDK) to identify and fix bugs.
- Advertising ID (AAID): Used for advertisement delivery and frequency capping. You can reset or opt out via your device Settings → Google → Ads.
1.2 Information We Do NOT Collect
- We do NOT upload, read, or transmit the contents of your files (photos, videos, documents, etc.) to any server.
- We do NOT collect your personal contacts, messages, call logs, or browsing history.
- We do NOT collect precise location data (GPS).
- We do NOT require you to create an account, and we do not collect email addresses, phone numbers, or any personally identifiable information (PII).
2. How We Use Information
- To provide core cleaning and optimization features (all processing happens locally on your device).
- To analyze crash logs and improve app stability.
- To display advertisements (if applicable) via third-party ad networks.
- To comply with legal obligations.
3. Permissions We Request
- Storage Access (MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE / READ/WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE): Required to scan and clean junk files, cache, and residual files on your device. All scanning and cleaning is performed locally — no file content is uploaded.
- Package Usage Statistics (PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS): To display app usage information and help you identify infrequently used apps.
- Notification: To notify you when a cleaning task is complete.
4. Third-Party Services
The App may integrate the following third-party SDKs, each of which has its own privacy policy:
- Google AdMob — for displaying advertisements. AdMob may collect Advertising ID and device information.
- Firebase Crashlytics — for crash reporting and app stability monitoring.
If you do not use advertising features, AdMob-related data collection does not apply.
5. Data Sharing
We do NOT sell, trade, or rent your personal data to third parties. Data may be shared only in the following circumstances:
- Service Providers: Crash reporting and analytics data is shared with Firebase (Google).
- Legal Compliance: If required by law, regulation, or valid legal process.
6. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data. However, no electronic transmission or storage method is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page. We encourage you to review it periodically.
