Privacy Policy
Effective Date: July 30, 2026
Last Updated: August 13, 2026
1. Introduction
AI Safe Cleanup (“AI Safe Cleanup,” the “App,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the AI Safe Cleanup iPhone application and its related services, as well as the choices and rights available to you.
This Privacy Policy applies to the AI Safe Cleanup application, its in-app legal pages, and support and online services provided directly in connection with AI Safe Cleanup.
AI Safe Cleanup performs its primary cleanup and analysis functions on your iPhone. Except as expressly described in this Privacy Policy, we do not upload the contents of your photos, videos, files, contacts, or links to our servers.
2. Information We Process
2.1 Information Processed Only on Your iPhone
When you choose to use a relevant feature and grant the required system permission, AI Safe Cleanup may access and process the following information on your device:
- Photos and videos: To identify duplicate, similar, blurry, large, or other potentially removable items, and to perform compression, saving, and deletion actions.
- Files: To display, sort, preview, or delete files located only within folders that you select through the iOS system file picker, including their subfolders.
- Contacts: To identify duplicate or incomplete contacts and perform merge, deletion, backup, or restoration actions that you confirm.
- Links: To identify and remove known tracking parameters.
- Local analysis results: Including media scan indexes, similarity features, category results, and file enumeration results.
- Local feature data: Including folder authorization bookmarks, contact backups, your personal blocklist, applied blocklist status, and the spam-risk number database downloaded to your device.
The content described above is not uploaded to AI Safe Cleanup servers. Analysis of photos, videos, files, contacts, and links is performed on your device.
Contact backups are stored as encrypted files in AI Safe Cleanup’s local application container. Manual and automatic backups are limited to a combined total of 10, and you may delete individual backups in the App.
2.2 General Usage and Diagnostic Information
To understand whether features are working properly, improve reliability, and diagnose errors, we may send coarse usage and diagnostic information to our own servers, such as:
- Features or screens used;
- Permission request outcomes;
- Ranges representing the number or size of processed items;
- Task-duration ranges;
- Success, failure, or error categories;
- Spam-risk database versions and download, update, or loading results;
- App version and basic device system information.
This general usage information does not include photo or video content or thumbnails, file names or paths, contact names or contact details, original or cleaned links, or phone numbers that you look up.
General usage events are sent only to AI Safe Cleanup’s own servers. They are not used for targeted advertising, cross-app tracking, or user profiling.
2.3 Phone Number Reports
AI Safe Cleanup sends information to its own servers only when you choose to report a phone number and submit the report. A report contains only:
- The reported phone number;
- The report category you select;
- The time of the report.
The complete report payload—the phone number, report category, and report time—is transmitted through an HTTPS/TLS encrypted connection and receives an additional layer of application-level encryption before transmission.
We use report information only to:
- Review phone number reports;
- Identify duplicate, false, or abusive reports;
- Improve future versions of the spam-risk number database;
- Maintain the report feature and service security.
A report does not immediately change the public spam-risk database or the results shown to other users. Reported phone numbers are not sent to third-party analytics, advertising, or AI platforms.
2.4 Support Emails
When you select “Feedback” or “Contact Support,” AI Safe Cleanup opens your default email application. The email may be prefilled with:
- AI Safe Cleanup version and build number;
- iOS version;
- Device model.
You decide whether to send the email, what to include in its body, and whether to add any other information. AI Safe Cleanup does not automatically attach photos, videos, files, contacts, phone numbers, the spam-risk database, or application logs. Sending, saving, or canceling an email is handled by your email service provider and is subject to its privacy policy.
2.5 Basic Network and Security Logs
When you download or update the spam-risk database, check service status, submit a phone number report, or access an online legal page, our servers may automatically receive:
- IP address;
- Request time;
- App version;
- Request status, error category, and basic security logs.
We use this information to deliver requested content, protect the service, prevent abuse, and diagnose failures. We do not associate it with the contents of your photos or contacts or with advertising identifiers.
3. System Permissions
AI Safe Cleanup requests system permissions only when you choose to use a feature that requires them. Permissions may include:
- Photo Library access: To scan, compare, compress, save, or delete photos and videos within the scope you authorize.
- Contacts access: To identify, merge, delete, back up, or restore contacts within the scope you authorize.
- Folder access: To read and manage folders you select through the iOS system file picker.
- Call identification and blocking settings: To allow the iOS Call Directory Extension to use the downloaded spam-risk database and your personal blocklist.
You may decline a permission or change or revoke it at any time in iOS Settings. Declining or revoking a permission may make the related feature unavailable or limit it to content within the remaining authorized scope, but it will not affect features that do not require that permission.
4. Purposes and Legal Bases
We process information only to the extent necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Depending on the laws that apply where you live, our legal bases may include:
- Performance of our agreement with you: To provide the cleanup, compression, contact management, link cleaning, number lookup, reporting, and support features you request.
- Your consent or request: To access system-protected data, submit a phone number report, or send a support email.
- Legitimate interests: To protect the service, prevent abuse, diagnose failures, and improve product performance without processing your personal content. When we rely on legitimate interests, we balance those interests against your rights.
- Legal obligations: To comply with applicable laws, regulatory requirements, or legally binding requests.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.
5. How We Disclose Information
We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising.
We may disclose limited information only when necessary in the following circumstances:
- Service providers: Providers that process information on our behalf for hosting, network delivery, security, or technical support. We require them to process information only as instructed and to provide the same or an equivalent level of protection described in this Privacy Policy.
- Apple and system services: The App Store, iOS, iCloud, system file providers, default email applications, and the Call Directory Extension may independently process information based on your settings and actions. Their own terms and privacy policies apply.
- Legal and safety requirements: When reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law or a legally binding government or court request, or to protect users, the public, the AI Safe Cleanup service, or relevant rights and safety.
- Service reorganization: If the services associated with AI Safe Cleanup are involved in a merger, reorganization, or asset transfer, information may be transferred subject to applicable law and continued protection under this Privacy Policy.
We do not send the contents of your photos, videos, files, contacts, or links, or reported phone numbers, to third-party AI services.
6. International Processing
Because AI Safe Cleanup serves users in multiple countries and regions, server-side information may be processed outside your country or region. Where required by law, we use contractual protections, adequacy decisions, or other lawful mechanisms and take reasonable steps to protect information processed across borders.
7. Retention and Deletion
We retain information only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy:
| Information Category | Retention Rule |
|---|---|
| General usage events | Up to 24 months |
| Phone number reports | Up to 24 months, after which they are deleted or irreversibly anonymized |
| Security and access logs | Up to 24 months |
| Support emails | Up to 12 months after the issue is resolved, unless a longer period is required by law or an ongoing dispute |
| Media and contact scan indexes and category results | Deleted or rebuilt when the App process ends, permission is revoked, or the authorized scope changes |
| Temporary compression files | Cleared when the task completes, is canceled, fails, or when the App next launches |
| Contact backups | Limited to 10; individual backups may be deleted by you; all are deleted when the App is uninstalled |
| Folder bookmarks, personal blocklist, and spam-risk database | Deleted according to the relevant feature rules when you remove them, reset the feature, or uninstall the App |
| Link input and output | Removed from memory when you leave the relevant screen or close the extension; no history is stored |
We may retain information for longer when required by law or when reasonably necessary to address an ongoing dispute, prevent fraud, or maintain security.
Uninstalling AI Safe Cleanup will generally delete data stored in its application container and App Group, but it will not reverse actions that you previously confirmed and that were written to the system Photo Library, files, or contacts. Recently Deleted items, iCloud synchronization, and copies synchronized to other devices are controlled by Apple or the relevant service provider.
8. Information Security
We use technical and organizational measures appropriate to the nature and risk of the information, including HTTPS/TLS transmission, an additional layer of application-level encryption for the complete report payload, access restrictions, necessary security logging, and data minimization.
No method of network transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. If a data incident occurs that legally requires notice, we will respond in accordance with applicable law.
9. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights:
- To know about and access personal data we process;
- To correct inaccurate data;
- To request deletion;
- To restrict or object to certain processing;
- To obtain a portable copy of your data;
- To withdraw consent;
- To exercise privacy rights without discrimination;
- To opt out of the sale of personal data or sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising.
AI Safe Cleanup does not sell personal data or use personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising.
You may manage system permissions in iOS Settings. You may also submit a privacy request by emailing CleanupSuppor2026@outlook.com. To protect other people’s information, we may need to verify a reasonable connection between the request and the relevant data. We will respond within the period required by applicable law.
Users in the European Union, European Economic Area, or United Kingdom may also lodge a complaint with a data protection authority in the place where they live or work or where the alleged infringement occurred. Users elsewhere may contact the local authority responsible for privacy complaints.
10. Children’s Privacy
AI Safe Cleanup is not directed to children under 13. If a higher minimum digital-consent age applies where you live, that higher age applies.
We do not knowingly collect personal data from children who do not meet the applicable age requirement. If you believe a child has provided personal data without meeting applicable legal requirements, contact us at CleanupSuppor2026@outlook.com, and we will evaluate the request and take appropriate deletion measures.
11. Third-Party Links and Services
AI Safe Cleanup may open or link to the App Store, iOS Settings, iCloud, system file providers, default email applications, or other third-party services. AI Safe Cleanup does not control those services, and their own privacy policies govern their processing. This Privacy Policy does not apply when a third party independently determines how information is processed.
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in features, technology, law, or security requirements. We will update the “Last Updated” date and, when required by applicable law, provide notice through the App, the legal pages, or another reasonable method. Material changes will take effect after any legally required consent has been obtained.
