Overview
AiClean: Phone Storage Cleaner ("AiClean", "we", "our", or "us") provides tools that help users manage device storage, identify duplicate or similar photos and videos, compress videos, and organize their Gmail inbox.
This Privacy Policy explains what information AiClean may access, how that information is used, and the choices available to users.
By using AiClean, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Information we access
Depending on the features you choose to use and the permissions you grant, AiClean may access the following categories of information.
Photos and videos
AiClean may access photos and videos that your device operating system permits the application to access.
This access is used to provide features including:
- Smart Scan
- Duplicate photo detection
- Duplicate video detection
- Similar photo detection
- Similar video detection
- Media review and cleanup
- Video compression
AiClean accesses only media that is available to the application through permissions granted by the user and the device operating system.
Gmail
If you choose to use the Clean Email feature, AiClean uses Google OAuth 2.0 to request access to the Gmail account you choose to connect.
Depending on the Clean Email functionality being used, AiClean may access Gmail information necessary to display, identify, organize, and manage messages, including information such as:
- Message identifiers
- Sender information
- Subject information
- Message dates
- Gmail labels
- Message size or related message information
- Other message metadata required to provide email cleanup features
- Message content only when required to provide a feature requested by the user
AiClean does not ask users to provide their Google account password. Google authentication is handled directly through Google's authorization services.
How we use photos and videos
AiClean uses access to photos and videos only to provide media management functionality requested by the user.
This may include:
- Scanning media available on the device
- Detecting duplicate photos or videos
- Detecting similar photos or videos
- Displaying groups of detected media for review
- Allowing users to select files to keep or delete
- Compressing videos selected by the user
- Calculating potential storage savings
AiClean does not automatically delete photos or videos based solely on scan results.
The user reviews the results and chooses which files to delete, keep, or compress.
Smart Scan
Smart Scan analyzes supported content available to AiClean in order to help users identify files that may be unnecessary, duplicated, similar, or suitable for optimization.
Smart Scan results are recommendations and organizational information.
AiClean does not automatically remove user content as a result of a Smart Scan.
Duplicate and similar media
AiClean may analyze technical or visual characteristics of photos and videos to identify files that appear to be duplicates or visually similar.
Detected items are presented to the user for review.
The final decision to keep or delete a file belongs to the user.
Video compression
When a user selects a video for compression, AiClean processes the selected video to create an optimized or reduced-size version according to the options chosen by the user.
AiClean does not compress videos without a user-initiated action.
How we use Gmail data
Google user data accessed through Gmail APIs is used only to provide Gmail-related functionality requested by the user.
This may include:
- Displaying emails within AiClean
- Identifying old emails
- Identifying large emails
- Organizing email information
- Helping users review unwanted messages
- Archiving messages selected by the user
- Moving messages selected by the user to Trash
- Performing other email management actions explicitly initiated by the user
AiClean does not use Gmail data for advertising purposes.
AiClean does not sell Google user data.
AiClean does not use Google user data for purposes unrelated to the user-facing Gmail management features provided by the application.
AiClean does not use Google user data obtained through Gmail APIs to train generalized artificial intelligence or machine learning models.
Google authorization and revocation
AiClean uses Google's OAuth 2.0 authorization system to connect to Gmail.
Before AiClean can access Gmail information, Google presents an authorization screen explaining the permissions requested by AiClean.
Access is provided only after the user explicitly grants permission.
Users may revoke AiClean's access to their Google account at any time through their Google Account security and permissions settings.
Once access has been revoked, AiClean will no longer be able to access Gmail data using that authorization.
Gmail cleanup actions
AiClean does not automatically delete Gmail messages without a user action.
When AiClean identifies emails that may be old, large, or unwanted, the results are presented to the user for review.
Actions such as archiving or moving messages to Trash are performed only after the user chooses to perform those actions.
Data processing and retention
Photos and videos used by the Smart Scan, duplicate detection, similar media detection, and video compression features are processed as required to provide those features.
Where processing is performed locally on the user's device, the original media remains under the user's control unless the user chooses to modify or delete it.
Gmail data is processed on the user's device as necessary to provide the Clean Email feature. AiClean does not transmit Gmail message content to our own servers.
Data sharing
AiClean does not sell users' photos, videos, Gmail messages, or Google user data.
AiClean does not share Google user data with advertisers or data brokers.
Information is not transferred to third parties except where necessary to provide application functionality, comply with applicable law, protect users or the service, or where the user has explicitly requested or authorized such transfer.
Any third-party service used by AiClean must be handled in accordance with applicable privacy requirements.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect information processed through AiClean.
Communication with Google APIs is performed using secure network connections.
Google account authorization is handled using Google's OAuth 2.0 authorization system.
However, no method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
User choices and deletion
Users remain in control of the photos and videos stored on their devices.
Users may delete local application data using their device settings or by uninstalling AiClean.
Users may revoke AiClean's Google account access through their Google Account settings.
If AiClean stores account-related information outside the user's device, users may request deletion by contacting us using the contact information provided below.
Google API Limited Use
AiClean's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
Google user data obtained through Gmail APIs is used only to provide or improve user-facing features that are prominent and relevant to the functionality requested by the user.
Children’s privacy
These Services do not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13.
In the case we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we immediately delete this from our servers. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we will be able to do necessary actions.
Links to Other Sites
This Service may contain links to other sites. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that site. Note that these external sites are not operated by me. Therefore, I strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of these websites. I have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
Policy updates

The updated policy will be published on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.
