If you do not agree with this Policy, please do not access and use our App.

For the purposes of this Policy, “personal data” refers to all data that identifies you or that could be used to identify you.
2.1. Local Processing (On-Device) Crucial Note: To protect your privacy, our App is designed to process your sensitive media files (photos, videos, contacts) locally on your device. We do not upload your photos or videos to our servers for analysis. The categorization (blur detection, duplicate finding, AI analysis) happens directly on your smartphone using on-device technology (e.g., Apple CoreML).
2.2. Data we may access (with your permission):
Media Library: Access to your camera roll to identify duplicates, screenshots, and blurred photos. This data remains on your device.
Email Access: If you use the email cleaning feature, you grant the App permission to access your email metadata (headers) and content via IMAP or API connections directly between your device and your email provider. We do not store your emails on our servers.
Device Information: Technical data such as device model, OS version, language, and time zone. This is used for app functionality and debugging (Crashlytics).
Usage Data: Information about how you use the App (e.g., screens visited, buttons clicked). This is collected anonymously to improve the user experience.
Purchase History: Information regarding your subscription status (via RevenueCat/Apple/Google). We do not have access to your credit card details.
We use your data for the following purposes:
To provide the core functionality: Cleaning storage, organizing photos, videos, contacts, and emails.
To manage your subscription and grant access to Premium features.
To respond to your support requests.
To comply with legal obligations.
To detect and prevent fraud.

If you choose to connect your Gmail account using Google APIs, our use of that information will be subject to the following additional restrictions:
Limited Use: We will only use access to read or manage Gmail message headers, metadata, and email content to enable the App’s features (delete, move, unsubscribe).
No Third-Party Sharing: We will not transfer this Gmail data to others unless necessary to provide and improve these features, comply with applicable law, or as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
No Advertising: We will not use this Gmail data for serving advertisements.
No Human Access: We will not allow humans to read this data unless we have your affirmative agreement for specific messages, doing so is necessary for security purposes such as investigating abuse, to comply with applicable law, or for the App’s internal operations and even then only when the data have been aggregated and anonymized.
The App’s use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Media/Emails: Since this data is processed locally on your device or accessed directly from your provider, we do not retain it on our servers. Once you delete the App, this local access is revoked.
Subscription Data: Retained as long as required by tax laws (usually 10 years in Germany) or for the duration of your subscription.

We do not sell your personal data. We may share data with the following service providers to operate the App:
Apple & Google: For app distribution and payment processing.

Legal Authorities: If required by law (e.g., court order).
International Transfers: Some of these providers are located in the USA. We ensure that data transfers are protected by standard contractual clauses (SCC) or data privacy frameworks deemed adequate by the EU.
We prioritize security by design. By processing your sensitive data locally on your device, we minimize the risk of data breaches. For data that is transmitted (e.g., to verify a subscription or connect to your email provider), we use standard encryption protocols (TLS/SSL).
