BlinkClean Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 10, 2026

Introduction

BlinkClean ("we," "our," or "us") values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use the BlinkClean mobile application (the "App"). Our goal is to be transparent about data practices while delivering an efficient cleaning experience.

By using the App, you agree to the terms outlined here. You can manage permissions or revoke consent anytime through your device settings.

1. Who Manages Your Information

The BlinkClean team is responsible for managing your data in connection with this App.

2. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to provide and improve the App’s functionality.

2.1. Information You Provide

• Photos & Media: The App helps organize and clean your photo gallery. All photo analysis is performed locally on your device. We do not upload, store, or transfer your photos or videos to external servers.
• App Permissions: To perform core functions, the App may request access to your device’s storage, photos, or app usage data. These permissions are used only for tasks like identifying duplicate files or unused apps. You can modify these permissions anytime via your device settings.

2.2. Automatically Collected Information

We collect non-personal technical and usage data to enhance App performance:

• Usage Data: Details about your interactions with the App, such as features used and actions taken, help us understand what works well and improve usability.
• Diagnostic Information: Device type, operating system version, unique identifiers (e.g., Android Advertising ID), crash reports, and performance metrics (e.g., load times) assist in maintaining App stability.
• Approximate Location: Generalized location data (e.g., country or city) may be inferred from your IP address for analytics and regional customization. We do not collect precise GPS location without separate consent.

2.3. API

getInstalledApplications & getInstalledPackages

To ensure the integrity of the space cleanup function, the system scans your app installation list to identify items that can be cleaned up. We strictly limit the use of this data and prohibit any form of uploading. For data regulations of third-party service providers, please refer to their respective privacy policies.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use collected data to:

• Provide core cleaning, optimization, and file management features directly on your device.
• Analyze usage patterns and diagnose issues to enhance App performance and user experience.
• Respond to support requests, feedback, or questions.
• Protect the App and users from security risks or fraudulent activities.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (EEA Users)

If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), we process your data based on:

• Contractual Need: To deliver the App’s core functionality as requested by you.
• Legitimate Interests: For analytics, security, and service improvements, balanced with your rights.
• Consent: Where required by law (e.g., for precise location or marketing), we will seek your explicit approval.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal data. Information may be shared only in these limited cases:

• Service Providers: Trusted third parties (e.g., Google Firebase, analytics partners) help us operate and improve the App. They access data only for specific tasks under strict confidentiality agreements.
• Legal Requirements: If required by law or valid requests from public authorities (e.g., courts or government agencies).
• Business Transfers: In cases of merger, acquisition, or asset sale, user data may transfer to the new entity under the same privacy standards.

6. Data Retention & Control

• On-Device Data: Photos, files, and media remain under your control and are managed according to your device settings.
• Collected Data: We retain automatically collected data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined here, or to meet legal obligations.

7. International Data Transfers

Your data may be processed outside your home country. We implement safeguards like Standard Contractual Clauses or adequacy decisions to protect internationally transferred data.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access, correct, or delete your data.
• Restrict or object to data processing.
• Request data portability.
• Withdraw consent (where applicable).

Contact us at [email protected] to exercise these rights. We aim to respond to all requests promptly.

9. Children’s Privacy

The App is not intended for users under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with information, contact us to request deletion.

10. Security Measures

We implement technical and organizational measures to protect your data. While we strive to safeguard your information, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure.

11. Third-Party Services

The App may integrate with third-party services (e.g., analytics, ads). Each service operates under its own privacy policy. We recommend reviewing their terms:

• Google Analytics & AdMob: https://policies.google.com/privacy
• Google Firebase: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy
• Facebook: https://www.meta.com/privacy/policy
• AppLovin: https://www.applovin.com/privacy
