Clean Duplicate Photo & Video ("we", "our", or "the app") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information the app accesses, how it is used, and what choices you have when using the app.

Clean Duplicate Photo & Video helps users:

Media scanning and processing are performed on the device. We do not upload your photos or videos to our servers.
