1. Introduction

Welcome to Tidy Antivirus & Security ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a secure user experience. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you use our app.

2. Information We Collect

• Personal Information: Except for the email address you voluntarily provide when you provide feedback, we do not collect personal information such as your name, email address, or phone number.

• Non-Personal Information: We may collect non-personal information about your device, such as the device type, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and usage data. This information helps us improve the app and provide a better user experience.

• App Usage Data: We collect data related to your use of the app, including the features you use, the frequency and duration of your sessions, and crash logs. This data is used to improve the app’s performance and functionality.

• File Information: The App will access your device's files to clean junk files, duplicate files, and unnecessary data. This process is handled locally on your device, and no files are uploaded or stored on our servers.

• Information collected by third-party analysis tools: Some third-party monetization SDKs integrated in our application may access your information for advertising optimization purposes.

• The antivirus engine utilizes the Trustlook SDK, which offers advanced security services. As part of its functionality, the Trustlook SDK records specific information related to the applications installed by the user. This is necessary to conduct application collection analysis, static analysis, and behavioral analysis to generate comprehensive application risk reports. The SDK exclusively gathers data pertaining to the scanned APK files, such as package name, signature, code version, hash, file name, size, and service name. It does not collect any personal user information, including IMEI, MAC address, phone number, location, Android ID, or similar data.
