Privacy policy

What we collect

We collect nothing ourselves. CleanPulse has no analytics, no crash reporting, no account system and no server of its own. Your files, file lists, installed-app details and scan results are never uploaded.

Advertising

The app shows banner ads through Google AdMob. AdMob is the only component that uses the internet. To serve and measure ads it may collect and share with Google:

• the advertising ID and device identifiers
• approximate location derived from the IP address
• app interactions such as ad impressions and clicks
• diagnostic and performance data

This data is handled under Google's privacy policy (policies.google.com/privacy). Where the law requires it (EEA, United Kingdom, Switzerland) you are asked for consent before any ad is requested, and you can change that choice later. You can reset or delete the advertising ID in Android settings.

What stays on your device

The app reads the following on your device only to show it to you:

• storage totals and media sizes
• the name, package, version, installer, signing certificate and requested permissions of installed apps
• battery and memory values reported by Android
• Wi-Fi security type, VPN, private DNS and proxy status
• screen lock, encryption, security patch and developer options status
• files in folders you grant access to and, if "all files access" is on, in the shared storage

Your settings, the detections you chose to ignore and the scan history (date, number of items scanned, names of what was found) are kept in the app's private storage. You can erase them with Settings > Reset CleanPulse data; uninstalling the app removes all of it.

Deleting files

Nothing is deleted without your explicit confirmation. Deletions go through Android's own confirmation dialogs and permission system.

Children

CleanPulse is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from them.
