Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 2026-01-31
Cleaya ("we," "our," or "us") is developed and operated by TSingzhou Technology Co., Ltd.. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclosure, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application (the "App"). Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the application.
1. Our Core Principle: Local-First Processing
Unlike many other cleaning applications, Cleaya is designed to process your data locally on your device.
- We do not upload your photos, videos, or contacts to our servers for processing.
- All photo scanning, duplicate detection, and AI organization happen directly on your iPhone/iPad using Apple's on-device processing capabilities.
- We do not operate a cloud storage service for your private files.
2. Information We Collect and How We Use It
Since we prioritize local processing, our collection of personal data is minimal. We request specific permissions to provide the App's core functionality:
2.1 Photo Library Access
- Permission:
NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription
- Purpose: To scan for duplicate photos, screenshots, and large videos, and to organize your timeline.
- Data Handling: The App reads metadata (dates, dimensions) and image fingerprints locally to identify duplicates. Your original media files never leave your device.
2.2 Camera Access (Intruder Capture)
- Permission:
NSCameraUsageDescription
- Purpose: To enable the "Intruder Capture" feature for the Private Space.
- Data Handling: If someone attempts to unlock your Private Space and fails multiple times, the App captures a photo using the front camera. This photo is stored securely inside the App's local sandbox and is not transmitted to us or any third party.
2.3 FaceID / TouchID
- Permission:
NSFaceIDUsageDescription
- Purpose: To lock and unlock your Private Space securely.
- Data Handling: Authentication is handled entirely by the iOS Secure Enclave. We only receive a "Success" or "Failure" confirmation; we never access your biometric data.
2.4 Subscription Data
- Purpose: To manage your VIP membership status.
- Data Handling: Payment transactions are processed by Apple via the App Store. We receive anonymous receipts to validate your subscription (e.g., expiration date, product ID). We do not have access to your credit card or billing information.
3. Data Storage and Security
- Private Space Encryption: Files you move to the "Private Space" feature are moved into the App's secure sandbox directory.
- No Cloud Sync: We do not automatically sync your data to any cloud servers.
- Risk Warning: Because your data is stored locally, if you delete the App or precise specific data without a backup, that data cannot be recovered by us. Please ensure you back up important files before uninstalling.
4. Children's Privacy
The App is rated **4+** on the App Store and is suitable for general audiences.
- No Data Collection: We do not knowingly collect, use, or store personal information from children under the age of 14 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your region).
- Local Safety: Since all photo scanning and intruder capture data remains locally on the device, there is no risk of a child's personal data being transmitted to our servers or third parties.
5. Jurisdiction and Dispute Resolution
This Privacy Policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the People's Republic of China (Mainland China).
Any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Policy shall be submitted to the competent court in the place where TSingzhou Technology Co., Ltd. is located (Mainland China) for litigation.
6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
