VA Clean (“we,” “us,” “our”) is a mobile application developed by [Your Legal Entity Name] (the “Developer”), dedicated to helping users clean up junk files, optimize device storage, and improve device performance. We are fully committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal data and strictly comply with global data protection regulations, including Google Play Developer Policies, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), and relevant local data protection laws.
This Privacy Policy clearly outlines the types of data we process, how we use and protect that data, and the rights you have regarding your information. By downloading, installing, accessing, or using VA Clean, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the practices described in this Policy. If you do not agree with any terms herein, please do not use our App.
• Data Controller: VA Clean
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:
To improve the App’s stability and fix potential bugs, we may collect optional anonymous diagnostic data, which is uploaded to our servers only if you explicitly consent:
We never collect or access the following sensitive data under any circumstances:
For users located in the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal bases for processing your data are as follows:
We use the collected data exclusively for the following purposes, and never for unauthorized or commercial purposes such as targeted advertising or user profiling:
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.
| Permission | Purpose | Compliance 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]. |
| Query All Packages | To identify installed apps on your device and analyze their usage frequency for unused app recommendations. | Data is processed locally only, with no upload to our servers. We do not collect any personal information related to the apps you use. |
| Accessibility Service (Optional) | To enable one-tap optimization and auto-clean background processes for a more convenient user experience. | Activated only by your explicit consent. We do not use this permission to monitor your interactions outside the App or collect any sensitive data. |
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.
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.
Uninstalling VA Clean will permanently delete all local data generated by the App, including temporary scan data and any cached information. No data related to your use of the App will remain on your device after uninstallation.
We never sell, rent, trade, or share your personal data or private information with any third parties for commercial purposes. Data may be shared only in the following limited and compliant scenarios:
You have the following rights regarding your data, which you can exercise by contacting us at the privacy contact email provided in Section 2. We will respond to your request within the timeframes required by applicable law.
| Right | Description |
|---|---|
| Access | You have the right to request a copy of the anonymous data we process about you. |
| Rectification | You have the right to request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete data we hold about you. |
| Erasure (Right to be Forgotten) | You have the right to request the deletion of your anonymous data. If you opt out of diagnostic data collection, we will delete any previously collected diagnostic data. |
| Restriction of Processing | You have the right to request that we temporarily stop processing your data in certain circumstances. |
| Data Portability | You have the right to receive your data in a machine-readable format (where applicable) to transfer to another data controller. |
| Objection | You have the right to object to the processing of your data based on our legitimate interests (e.g., diagnostic data collection). |
| Withdraw Consent | You can withdraw your consent for diagnostic data collection at any time in the App’s settings, with no impact on your ability to use the App’s core functions. For California residents (CCPA/CPRA), you also have the right to request information about how your data is used and shared, and to opt out of the sale of your personal data (we do not sell data, so this right is automatically satisfied). |
VA Clean may include limited third-party services (e.g., crash reporting SDKs) that collect anonymous data to help us improve the App. These third-party services are governed by their own privacy policies, and we do not control their data practices. We only integrate third-party services that comply with Google Play policies and global data protection laws, and we ensure that these services do not collect personal data or sensitive information from our users.
If you are located outside the EEA, any anonymous diagnostic data we collect (with your consent) may be transferred to servers in [Country/Region]. We ensure compliance with GDPR and other applicable laws by using Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or other recognized safeguards for cross-border data transfers, to ensure that your data is protected to the same standard as required by your local data protection laws.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the App’s functionality, technological advancements, or regulatory requirements. When we make material changes, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Policy and notify you via an in-app message or email (if you have provided contact information). Continued use of VA Clean after the update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy, our data practices, or your user rights, please contact us
