Our Zero-Knowledge & 100% On-Device Commitment

Your personal media, contacts, calendar events, and secret vault files never leave your iPhone. All perceptual photo analysis, duplicate detection, video compression, and contact merging algorithms run exclusively on your device's local CPU and GPU. We do not operate remote servers to store, upload, inspect, or monetize your personal files.

1 Overview & Architecture

CleanSpace ("we", "us", or "our") develops storage optimization and device maintenance software for iOS. This Privacy Policy explains how our iOS application accesses, processes, and protects your information when you use CleanSpace.

We believe that privacy is a fundamental human right. CleanSpace is architected from the ground up to operate with zero-knowledge server dependencies for all cleaning, scanning, and file management functions.

2 Information Accessed & Local Processing

To perform storage optimization tasks requested by you, CleanSpace requests access to specific iOS frameworks upon your explicit permission. Here is how each category is handled:

Data Category Purpose Storage / Transmission
Photos & Videos
(PhotoKit)
Identifying duplicate shots via local dHash algorithm, compressing large video assets, and managing Live Photos. 100% Local (On-Device)
Contacts
(Contacts Framework)
Detecting incomplete or duplicate contacts and backing up contacts locally to your device. 100% Local (On-Device)
Calendars & Reminders
(EventKit)
Scanning past expired events and detecting calendar invite spam. 100% Local (On-Device)
Face ID / Touch ID
(LocalAuthentication)
Unlocking your private Secret Vault via Apple's native Secure Enclave. Hardware Secure Enclave
Device & Storage Stats
(System APIs)
Displaying free/used disk space, RAM, thermal state, and battery status. 100% Local (On-Device)

No Cloud Uploads

We do not maintain servers that ingest your photos, videos, contacts, or documents. When you delete duplicate media or merge contacts, the changes are performed directly through native Apple iOS APIs with your explicit authorization.

3 Secret Vault & Biometric Security

CleanSpace includes an encrypted Secret Vault for safeguarding sensitive photos, videos, and private notes:

4 Advertising & Third-Party SDKs

CleanSpace is supported by advertisements to remain free for all users. To deliver advertising, we integrate the AppLovin MAX mediation platform and its certified ad network partners (such as Google AdMob, Meta Audience Network, Unity Ads, and Mintegral).

Data Collected by Ad Networks:

Depending on your privacy choices and iOS App Tracking Transparency (ATT) settings, third-party advertising SDKs may collect:

App Tracking Transparency (ATT):

Under iOS 14.5 and later, we present the standard Apple App Tracking Transparency prompt before any tracking identifier is accessed. If you select "Ask App not to Track", third-party ad networks will only serve non-personalized (contextual) ads and will not track your activity across other companies' apps or websites.

You can change your tracking preference at any time in iOS: Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking > CleanSpace.

5 Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR & CCPA)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or California:

6 Children's Privacy (COPPA)

CleanSpace is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in certain jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us immediately so we can take appropriate measures.

7 Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy periodically to reflect app enhancements, regulatory updates, or changes in legal requirements. Any modifications will be posted on this page with an updated "Effective Date". We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
