We do not upload, store, sell, or share your personal files, photos, videos, audio files, documents, file contents, thumbnails, or scan results on our own servers.

Similar-photo detection, duplicate detection, screenshot scanning, and file analysis are performed locally on your device. File contents and detailed scan information are not uploaded to our servers.

3. Permissions Used

The App may request different permissions depending on your Android version and the feature you use.

Media permissions

The App may use:

All Files Access

The App may request Android’s “All files access” permission through MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE for features that need to inspect or manage files across storage directories, including:

This permission is used only for the App’s storage-analysis and cleanup functionality.

Internet

Internet access is used to:

Advertising ID

The App may use the Android Advertising ID through Google advertising services for advertising, ad measurement, fraud prevention, and related advertising functionality.

4. Local Data Storage

The App may store basic preferences such as the selected theme, onboarding status, and other settings locally on your device. Temporary scan data, thumbnails, file metadata, and results may be held in memory while a scan or review screen is open. This information is not uploaded to our servers. Local preferences are removed when you clear the App’s data or uninstall the App, subject to Android backup and restore settings.

The App uses third-party services that may collect and process information according to their own privacy policies.
