Privacy Policy of Storage Cleaner - Large Files
Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how Bluewinddigitallimited - Large File Cleaner ("the App", "we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use our mobile application. We built this App to help you find and manage large files, duplicate files, photos, videos, audio, documents, and installed apps on your device — all core operations happen locally on your device.
By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
1. Information We Do NOT Collect
We do not require you to create an account, and we do not collect your name, email address, or any personal contact information to use the core features of the App.
We do not read the contents of your personal files (documents, photos, videos) for the purpose of scanning or organizing them. The App only reads file metadata — such as file size, file path, file type, and date — needed to display and organize your storage information. The one exception is the Image Compression feature described in Section 2a, which reads image pixel data on-device in order to compress the image you selected.
2. Information Accessed On Your Device
To provide its core functionality, the App accesses the following on-device information. This information is processed locally and is not transmitted to us or to any third party, except where noted in Section 4 (Advertising & Analytics).
| Data | Why we access it |
|---|---|
| Photos, videos, and audio file metadata (size, path, date) | To calculate storage usage and display large/duplicate media files for you to review and delete |
| Documents and other file metadata | To find and list documents (.doc, .pdf, .xls, .zip, etc.) taking up space |
| Installed application list and APK file sizes | To show how much space apps take up, and to let you find leftover or unused APK installer files |
| Device storage statistics | To show total, used, and available storage space |
| File paths for items you choose to delete | To carry out the delete action you request |
| Image file content (pixel data) | To compress an image you select, reducing its file size at a quality level you choose |
| File paths for images you choose to compress | To either overwrite the original image file with the compressed version, or save the compressed version as a new file, depending on your choice |
You are always in control. The App never deletes, modifies, overwrites, or creates any file unless you explicitly select it and confirm the action. When compressing an image, the App always asks you to choose between overwriting the original file or saving the compressed result as a new file before any change is made.
2a. Image Compression Feature
The App includes a feature that lets you reduce the file size of images stored on your device. When you use this feature:
- The App reads the selected image's pixel data locally on your device to generate a compressed version at a quality level you choose using an on-screen control.
- Image compression is performed entirely on-device. The image is never uploaded to our servers or to any third party.
- Before saving, the App will always ask you to explicitly choose between: (a) overwriting the original file, or (b) saving the compressed image as a new file, and will not proceed until you confirm your choice.
- If you choose to overwrite the original file and the file was not created by our App (e.g. a photo taken with your device's camera app), Android may show you a system permission prompt to confirm you allow the change before the file is modified.
3. Permissions We Request
| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Storage access (All files access / Manage External Storage, Read/Write External Storage) | Required to scan, display, compress, and let you delete, overwrite, or save new versions of large files, duplicates, media, and documents stored on your device |
| Install unknown apps / Request install packages | Required only if you choose to reinstall an APK file found on your device |
| Package usage access (optional, only if enabled in a given app version) | Used to show more accurate per-app storage/cache breakdowns |
| Internet | Required to display ads and, where applicable, send anonymous crash/analytics data (see Section 4) |
| Vibrate | Used for minor UI feedback (e.g. confirmation of an action) |
| Kill background processes / Get package size | Used to calculate app sizes and, where offered, to help free up memory |
You can review or revoke storage and other permissions at any time in your device's Settings > Apps > [App Name] > Permissions. Revoking storage permissions will limit or disable the App's core features, including image compression.
4. Advertising & Analytics
The App is supported by advertising. We use the following third-party services to display ads and understand app performance:
- Google AdMob (and Google's ad mediation partners)
- Google Firebase (Analytics / Crashlytics)
These services may automatically collect certain information, which may include:
- Advertising identifier (e.g. Android Advertising ID / GAID)
- Device information (device model, OS version, language, general region)
- App usage and interaction data (e.g. screens viewed, crashes, session length)
- Approximate location derived from IP address (not precise GPS location)
This information is collected and processed by Google in accordance with the Google Privacy & Terms and, where applicable, the How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services page.
Ad personalization choices: You can opt out of personalized advertising by:
- Opening your device's Settings > Google > Ads, and turning on "Opt out of Ads Personalization," or
- Using the in-app "non-personalized ads" option if presented in the App's consent screen (where required by your region, e.g. EEA/UK).
5. Data Retention
We do not operate servers that store your personal files, file lists, file contents, or compressed images. Any data displayed or processed by the App (file sizes, categories, app list, compressed image bytes) is calculated or generated fresh each time you use the relevant feature and is kept only in the App's temporary memory while it is running, or written directly to the location on your device that you choose. Advertising/analytics data collected by third parties (Section 4) is retained according to those providers' own retention policies.
6. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share file contents, file lists, image contents, or device contents with any third party. The only data shared with third parties is the advertising/analytics data described in Section 4, shared with Google as described above.
7. Children's Privacy
The App is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the relevant minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the details below so we can take appropriate action.
8. Security
Because the App's core operations happen on your device rather than on our servers, your files — including images processed by the compression feature — never leave your device through the App. We rely on your device's built-in Android security model (app sandboxing, permission system) to protect your data. No method of electronic storage or transmission (including by our third-party ad/analytics providers) is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding data collected by our third-party advertising and analytics providers, including the right to:
- Request access to information collected about you
- Request deletion of your advertising identifier's associated data (via your device's ad settings)
- Opt out of ad personalization (see Section 4)
Since we do not collect personally identifiable information directly, requests relating to advertising data should also be directed to the relevant identifier reset in your device settings, or to Google directly for data processed on their platforms.
10. Third-Party Links
The App may include links to open files with other installed apps (e.g. opening a PDF, video, or APK with another app on your device). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third-party apps.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes are effective when posted, and the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
