Privacy Policy for Scrubly Clean

Last Updated: March 12, 2026

1. Introduction

Scrubly Clean (“we,” “us,” “our”) is a mobile device cleaning and optimization application dedicated to helping users clean junk files, free up storage space, and optimize device performance. We prioritize user privacy and strictly comply with global data protection regulations, including Google Play Developer Policies, GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and relevant local laws.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information. By using Scrubly Clean, you agree to the terms of this policy.

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum necessary data to provide core cleaning functions, and all data processing is primarily local.

2.1 Locally Processed Data (No Upload by Default)

• File metadata: file size, type, storage path, and modification date (for scanning junk files, cache, residuals, duplicates, and large files)
• Installed app list (package names only, for analyzing unused apps)
• Device information: model, Android OS version, storage status, and RAM usage

2.2 Optional Anonymous Data (With Your Consent)

• Crash logs and app performance data (to fix bugs and improve stability)
• Usage analytics (e.g., feature usage frequency, cleaning session counts)

2.3 Data We Never Collect

• Personal identifiers (name, email, phone number, ID)
• Sensitive data (photos, videos, contacts, SMS, location, browsing history)
• Payment/biometric data and private file content (we only scan metadata, not file contents)

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your data exclusively for:

• Scanning and cleaning various junk files, cache, residuals, duplicates, and large files
• Optimizing device storage and performance
• Identifying and recommending uninstallation of unused apps
• Improving app stability, fixing bugs, and optimizing user experience
• Responding to user support requests
• We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or commercial sharing.

4. Permissions and Justification

Scrubly Clean requires minimal permissions for core functions, all revocable in device settings:

• All Files Access: Required to scan and clean junk files across internal/external storage (core function). We do not access personal media or private file content.
• Query Installed Apps: To analyze app usage and suggest unused app removal (local processing only).
• Accessibility Service (Optional): For one-tap optimization (enabled only by your consent, no data monitoring outside the app).

5. Data Storage and Security

• All core scanning/cleaning runs locally on your device; no private data is uploaded by default.
• We use industry-standard security measures to protect optional diagnostic data.
• Temporary data is deleted immediately after cleaning; uninstalling the app removes all local data.

6. Data Sharing

We never sell or share personal data. We may share anonymous diagnostic data (with your consent) with trusted third-party service providers (bound by confidentiality) for app improvement, or as required by law.

7. User Rights

You have the right to:

• Access, delete, or opt out of optional analytics
• Revoke permissions at any time
• Contact us to exercise GDPR/CCPA rights (e.g., right to be forgotten)

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will be posted in the app with an updated "Last Updated" date.
