CleanShot (the "app") is an Android app that analyzes photos on your device and suggests candidates for cleanup. This policy explains what data the app handles — and what it does not.
The app itself operates no server that collects or stores personal information. However, the app includes the following third-party SDKs for ads, analytics, crash reporting, and payments. Each SDK may collect data under its own privacy policy.
| Purpose | SDK (Provider) | Data that may be collected | Privacy policy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ads | Google AdMob (Google) | Advertising ID, device info, coarse location (IP-based), ad interactions | Link |
| Ads (mediation) | Meta Audience Network (Meta) | Advertising ID, device info, ad interactions | Link |
| Ads (mediation) | Pangle (ByteDance) | Advertising ID, device info, ad interactions | Link |
| Ads (mediation) | Mintegral | Advertising ID, device info, ad interactions | Link |
| Ad consent | Google User Messaging Platform (Google) | Consent status | Link |
| Analytics | Firebase Analytics (Google) | App usage events (screen views, feature usage), device info, app instance ID | Link |
| Analytics | Amplitude | App usage events, device info | Link |
| Stability | Firebase Crashlytics (Google) | Crash logs, device info | Link |
| Payments | Google Play Billing (Google) | Purchase history — payments are processed by Google Play; the app cannot access your payment details | Link |
No photo-related information is ever included in analytics or crash data. Usage events and crash logs never contain photo/video data, file names, or file paths. The app does not use any screen-recording or session-replay features.
| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Photos & videos (READ_MEDIA_IMAGES, READ_MEDIA_VIDEO; Android 12 and below: READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) | Used to analyze your gallery and find cleanup candidates. Analysis happens only on your device. |
| Selected photos only (READ_MEDIA_VISUAL_USER_SELECTED) | On Android 14+, if you grant access to selected photos only, the app operates strictly within that selection. |
| Network (INTERNET) | Used only for showing ads, processing payments, and analytics/crash reporting. Never used to transmit photo data. |
Servers of the third-party SDK providers (Google, Meta, ByteDance, Mintegral, Amplitude) may be located outside your country (e.g., in the United States), and data collected by those SDKs may be processed abroad, subject to each provider's privacy policy.
This app is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
