Privacy Policy
DeepClear
Effective date: October 26, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how DeepClear ("the App", "we", "us") handles information when you use it on an Android device. Core file-management functions operate on your device. Online features, advertising, analytics, diagnostics and notifications involve the data transfers described below. Feature availability can vary by app version, device and configuration.
1. Who We Are and What This Policy Covers
The App provides storage scanning and cleaning, file recovery, recovered-file management, a private album, optional Launcher features and utility tools. It also includes an optional AI text assistant, notifications and, where available, weather information. No app account or registration is required for these features.
This policy covers the App and related support communications. For privacy questions or requests, contact loveqiaoqiaoya@gmail.com.
2. Information Processed on Your Device
Files and storage. With the relevant storage or media permissions, the App reads file names, paths, types, sizes, modification times and media information to find, display, preview, recover and manage files. Where a feature needs the file itself, the App reads its contents locally. Ordinary scanning, cleaning and recovery do not automatically upload your photos, videos, audio or documents to us, to AI services or to advertising providers. Cleaning deletes the files selected through the relevant cleaning workflow. Recovery results are saved locally until you remove, restore, export or share them, or clear the App's data.
Private album. Files you import are read and encrypted on your device. The App stores local file indexes and security settings so you can unlock, preview, restore, delete or share them. Importing a file can move it into the encrypted vault and remove the original after a successful import. Restoring a file creates a decrypted copy outside the vault and removes its vault entry after successful restoration. Previews and shares can create temporary decrypted copies. An exported or shared copy is no longer protected by the private album's access controls.
Private-album security uses your PIN and Android's device-bound security facilities. If you enable biometric unlocking, Android performs the biometric check; the App does not receive your fingerprint or face template. Private-album files are not automatically uploaded to an app-operated cloud album.
Installed applications and Launcher. The App reads installed-app information, such as package names, labels, icons and components, to display and organize the Launcher, provide application-management tools and identify other Launcher apps. App indexes, layouts and related preferences are stored locally. The App does not send its installed-app inventory to our analytics, AI or advertising integrations as part of these features.
Notification cleaning. If you enable notification access in Android settings, the notification-cleaning feature can read notification package names, titles, text, identifiers, times and associated action information. It uses this information on your device to list, filter and dismiss notifications. This feature does not upload notification contents to our analytics or AI integrations. Notifications may contain sensitive information, so enable notification access only if you want this feature.
Utility tools. Tools such as calculators and BMI/BMR calculators process the values you enter locally. Flashlight controls use the device's torch function. Opening an external camera or another app lets that app process information under its own permissions and privacy policy. The App does not automatically include utility inputs, private-album contents or notification contents in AI requests.
3. Optional AI Assistant and Content Reports
Before sending a request through the AI assistant, the App asks for your agreement to online AI processing. When you send a message, your text and a limited amount of the current conversation's text context are transmitted to Google's Gemini service through Firebase AI Logic to generate a response. The current assistant accepts text; it does not automatically attach files, photos, private-album contents, contacts, device location or notification contents.
Chat history is stored in the App's local database. You can delete conversations, clear history and withdraw AI consent through the assistant's controls. Withdrawal blocks new AI requests and clears local conversation data and drafts through the relevant control. Deleting local history or withdrawing consent does not recall content already transmitted to Google.
Google's handling of AI inputs and outputs depends on the configured Gemini provider and its applicable terms. Where Google's unpaid Gemini API terms apply, submitted text and generated responses may be used to improve Google's products and machine-learning technologies and may be reviewed by people. Other configurations, including Vertex AI, can be governed by different data-use terms. Do not enter passwords, identity documents, payment details, medical records or other sensitive personal information in the assistant. Review the Firebase AI data-governance information and Google's AI terms linked in section 8.
If you actively report an AI answer and confirm submission, the App sends the selected question, answer and report reason, together with the configured model name, app version, platform and submission time, to a Firebase Firestore database for review and handling. This is separate from ordinary chat history. Submitted reports do not automatically expire through the App and remain stored until administratively removed. The App has no in-app deletion control for submitted reports, and deleting a local conversation does not delete a report. To request review or deletion of a report, email us with enough information to locate it, such as the approximate submission time and a short description. Do not send an entire private conversation if a brief description is sufficient.
4. Usage Information, Diagnostics, Installation Source and Configuration
Usage analytics. The production App uses Google Analytics for Firebase to measure app launches, feature use, screen and Launcher interactions, permission and guide results, scan/clean/recovery outcome counts, AI request outcomes, notification interactions and advertising events. Metrics can include app version, language, device/platform information, app-instance identifiers and timestamps. Some counts and installation-source fields are grouped into categories. Our custom analytics events do not intentionally include file names or paths, file contents, notification text or AI conversation text.
Usage analytics is enabled by default in the production release unless you turn it off. You can disable it in the usage-statistics settings under the App's profile/settings area. Disabling this setting stops the App's usage analytics and requests a local Firebase Analytics data reset. This control does not disable advertising, crash diagnostics, notifications, remote configuration or AI processing that you separately choose to use, and it does not guarantee deletion of information already held by a service provider.
Crash diagnostics. Firebase Crashlytics processes crash traces, errors and technical context, such as app version, device and operating-system details and installation/session identifiers, to investigate stability problems. Crash reporting is separate from the usage-analytics switch.
Installation source. The App reads Google Play Install Referrer information to distinguish paid promotion, non-paid installation and unknown sources. Referrer source, medium, campaign and the resulting classification may be cached locally. Limited, normalized source categories are used in analytics and to select features or entry flows. The App does not send the raw referrer string as a custom analytics event.
Configuration and service integrity. Firebase Remote Config retrieves settings that control available features, notification behavior and other app behavior. Firebase App Check and Google Play Integrity process app/device integrity information and tokens to help protect supported online services from abuse. These services and other network providers necessarily receive connection information such as your IP address and may use installation or service identifiers.
5. Advertising
The App uses Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads to display ads and help fund development. Advertising services initialize when the App starts. The SDK may collect and share IP addresses, advertising and app-set or other applicable identifiers, ad interactions and diagnostic information for ad delivery, measurement and fraud prevention. An IP address can also indicate an approximate location. Advertising data handling depends on Google's services, app configuration and your device's privacy settings.
The App may record ad requests, loading, impressions, clicks, outcomes and advertising-revenue measurements in its usage analytics while that analytics setting is enabled. The usage-analytics switch does not turn off the advertising SDK or its own processing. You can use Android's advertising-privacy controls to reset or delete the advertising ID and manage available ad settings. The current App does not provide an in-app advertising-consent or advertising-privacy form.
6. Notifications and Weather
Notifications. When app notifications are enabled and the relevant permission/channel is available, the App can show local reminders and receive messages through Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM). Firebase uses a registration token and installation identifiers to route messages. The App stores a random installation identifier, topic membership and notification/message state locally to manage delivery groups, avoid duplicates and apply frequency controls. Notification display and interaction events may be measured while usage analytics is enabled. Notification delivery does not give the sender access to your local files or other apps' notification text.
You can turn off notifications using the App's notification settings or Android notification controls. The App updates its topic subscriptions when its notification/FCM settings change. Turning off notification display does not itself delete the Firebase installation identifier or data already processed by Google.
Weather. Where the weather feature is available, WeatherAPI.com receives the city search or selected city coordinates needed to return weather information and can infer an approximate city from your IP address. The App's current weather configuration does not request device GPS location. Selected-city preferences and weather results are cached locally. WeatherAPI.com processes requests under its own privacy policy.
7. Permissions and Special Access
Depending on the Android version and the features you use, the App may request:
Storage/media access, including all-files access where applicable, to scan, preview, clean, recover and manage files and private-album items.
Notification permission to show reminders, service notifications and push messages.
Notification access, separately enabled in Android settings, for notification listing and cleaning.
Installed-app visibility, and optional usage access where required, for Launcher and application-management features.
Biometric authentication for local private-album unlocking.
Permission to modify system settings for controls such as screen brightness.
System confirmation for setting the default Launcher or uninstalling another application.
The App also uses internet/network access and background-task facilities for the online services, scheduled local reminders and ongoing features described in this policy. These facilities do not by themselves grant access to your contacts, microphone, SMS or precise device location. You can revoke permissions and special access in Android settings; features that depend on them may stop working.
8. Service Providers, Sharing and International Processing
Information is transmitted to the providers needed for the services described above: Google/Firebase for analytics, crash diagnostics, configuration, integrity checks, FCM, Gemini AI processing and submitted AI reports; Google AdMob for advertising; and WeatherAPI.com for weather. Their purposes and data categories are described in the relevant sections. We do not automatically send your scanned files, private-album files or installed-app inventory to these integrations.
When you choose to share or export a file, open another app or follow an external link, the destination provider receives the information involved in that action and handles it under its own policy. If you contact support, we receive your email address and any message or attachments you provide and use them to respond, investigate the issue and handle your request. We may also disclose relevant information when required by applicable law or to address security or abuse issues.
Online providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live, according to their service terms and applicable data-protection arrangements. Relevant provider information is available at:

9. Retention, Security and Deletion
Local scan state, preferences and cached information are kept on your device for the relevant feature. Recovery results and private-album items remain until removed through the App, exported/restored, or removed with the App's private storage. Private-album recycle-bin items become eligible for permanent cleanup after 30 days and are purged when the App next performs the relevant expiry check. Resetting the vault or permanently deleting an item can make it unrecoverable.
The App excludes private-album storage, its internal recovered-file directory and local AI conversation history from its configured Android cloud-backup and device-transfer rules. Other eligible settings or caches may still be included in Android's system backup according to your device settings. Files already exported to shared storage, saved in another app or shared with another person can remain after you uninstall the App.
Clearing app data or uninstalling normally removes the App's private local storage. It does not automatically delete submitted AI reports, support emails or data already processed by third-party services. Google service data, advertising records and AI requests follow the relevant provider's retention settings and policies. Contact us to request review or deletion of information we control; we may need limited information to identify the record and may retain information required by law or for unresolved security or support matters.
Network services use encrypted connections, and private-album files use device-bound encryption. We use these protections to reduce unauthorized access, but no storage or transmission method is completely secure. Losing app data, resetting the device or losing access to the vault's security material may prevent recovery of encrypted files.
10. Your Choices and Privacy Rights
You can use Android settings to control storage/media permissions, notifications, notification access, usage access, system-setting access and advertising identifiers. In the App, you can disable usage statistics, change notification settings, manage local files and private-album items, delete AI conversations, clear AI history and withdraw AI consent. These controls have the scope described above; disabling one optional feature does not automatically disable other services.
Depending on where you live, applicable law may give you rights to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of your personal information, object to processing, or withdraw consent where processing relies on consent. Contact loveqiaoqiaoya@gmail.com to exercise applicable rights. We will assess requests and respond within the period required by applicable law. Where records are not linked to an app account, we may need appropriate details to locate them.
11. Children and Changes to This Policy
The App is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 or the higher minimum age required by applicable local law. The AI assistant is intended for adults aged 18 and over under the applicable Gemini service requirements. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
We may update this policy as features, service providers or requirements change. We will publish the revised policy on this page with a new effective date. Where applicable, material changes may also be communicated in the App or release information.
