Cleaner for WhatsApp - Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to the Cleaner for WhatsApp mobile application (hereinafter referred to as the "Application"), created and provided by Prime Focus Studio (hereinafter referred to as the "Service Provider").
The Application is a storage cleaning and media management tool that helps you review and delete media files that WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business have already saved on your own device.
The Application is provided "AS IS".
Information Collection and Use
The Application processes some information locally on your device and uses certain third-party services, including Google AdMob and Firebase services, to provide advertising, analytics, crash reporting, performance monitoring, remote configuration, and push notification functionality.
The Service Provider does not directly collect or store your personal files, WhatsApp chats, messages, contacts, call logs, SMS messages, or other private WhatsApp content on its own servers.
Information processed by third-party services
Depending on your use of the Application and the services enabled, third-party services may process certain technical, diagnostic, advertising, and usage-related information.
This may include information such as:
Application version and package/application identifiers
Device type, manufacturer, model, and operating system information
IP address and general network information
Advertising or app-instance identifiers
Application usage and interaction information
Diagnostic and crash information
Performance and network-performance information
Firebase installation or messaging identifiers
Information required to deliver and measure advertisements
Information required to provide Firebase services
Google Analytics for Firebase may collect usage and behavioral information, including automatically collected events and information about how the Application is used.
Firebase Crashlytics may collect crash reports and related diagnostic information to help the Service Provider identify and fix application crashes and stability issues.
Firebase Performance Monitoring may collect performance information from devices using the Application, including application and network performance metrics.
Firebase Cloud Messaging may use a Firebase installation identifier and/or messaging registration token to identify an application instance for notification delivery.
Firebase Remote Config may communicate with Firebase to retrieve configuration values that control certain Application behavior or features.
Google AdMob may process information such as device and advertising identifiers, IP address, and other signals required for advertising delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, and, where permitted, advertising personalization.
The exact information processed may depend on your device, operating system, region, consent choices, Application configuration, and the particular third-party service being used.
Your WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business Files
The Application is designed to work with media files that already exist on your device.
Scanning, categorization, previewing, and deletion of supported media files are performed locally on your device.
The Service Provider does not upload your WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business media files to its own servers.
The Application does not access or collect the contents of your WhatsApp chats, messages, calls, contacts, or backups for transmission to the Service Provider.
Files selected for deletion remain under your control until you confirm deletion.
Permissions the Application Requests
Storage / Folder Access
To identify files occupying storage space and allow you to review, preview, and delete selected files, the Application may ask you to grant access to WhatsApp and/or WhatsApp Business media folders through the Android system folder picker.
This access is used to perform the Application's storage-management functions.
The Service Provider does not upload these files to its own servers.
On supported older Android versions, the Application may use the applicable Android storage permissions for these functions.
Notifications
The Application may request notification permission so that it can provide notifications on your device, such as informing you when a status you chose to save has finished downloading or when other supported notification features are used.
Notification delivery may use Firebase Cloud Messaging. Firebase may process an application-instance identifier or messaging registration token to deliver notifications.
App Presence Check
The Application may check whether WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business are installed so that it can display the appropriate sections and folder instructions.
This check is used for Application functionality and does not provide the Application with access to WhatsApp's private chats, messages, calls, or account information.
Data Stored on Your Device
The Application may store certain information locally on your device, including:
Theme preferences
Preferred media-view layout
Folder locations you have granted access to
Temporary scan or application cache data
Other preferences required for Application functionality
This locally stored information is generally kept within the Application's private storage.
The Application does not use your WhatsApp media files to create a personal profile for you.
Local Application data may be removed when you clear the Application's data or uninstall the Application, subject to Android's system behavior and any backups or system-level services controlled by Google or your device manufacturer.
Advertising
The Application uses Google AdMob to display advertisements.
AdMob and its advertising partners may process certain information from your device, such as IP address, advertising identifiers, device information, and information related to advertisement delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, and advertising personalization where permitted.
The type of advertising and data processing may depend on your location, consent choices, device settings, and applicable laws and policies.
Where required, the Application may use Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) to obtain and manage users' privacy and advertising consent choices.
For users in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland, Google requires applicable disclosures and consent mechanisms for certain advertising-related processing. Users must also be provided with an appropriate method to withdraw or change applicable consent choices.
