3. Data We Collect and Process

VA Clean adheres strictly to the data minimization principle. We only collect anonymous, non-personal data that is necessary to provide our core cleaning and optimization services. We do not collect any personal identification information, sensitive personal data, or private file content. All data processing is primarily conducted locally on your device to ensure maximum privacy protection.

To deliver core cleaning functions, we process the following data locally on your device, which is never uploaded to our servers by default:

6. Permissions and Usage Justification

VA Clean requests minimal permissions to deliver its core cleaning and optimization functions. All permissions are optional and can be revoked at any time in your device’s settings. We only use permissions for the stated purposes, in compliance with Google Play’s storage policies and data protection regulations.


PermissionPurposeCompliance Note
All Files Access (MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)To scan, analyze, and clean junk files, cache, residual files, duplicates, and large files across internal and external storage.This permission is required to fulfill the App’s core cleaning function, as it allows us to access all necessary files for cleaning. We do not access or collect personal media (photos, videos, audio) or private file content, and all processing is done locally on your device. This usage complies with Google Play’s policy for All Files Access, as our core use case requires broad file access that cannot be effectively achieved with more privacy-focused APIs alone[6].

All core data processing (scanning, analysis, cleaning) is conducted locally on your device. No file content, personal data, or sensitive information is uploaded to our servers by default. This ensures that your privacy is protected and your data remains under your control.

7.2 Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures to protect the data we process, including encryption, secure SDK integration, and access control. We take all reasonable steps to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of your data. However, please note that no security measure is 100% foolproof, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of data transmitted over the internet or stored on your device.

7.3 Data Retention
