I. PRIVACY GOVERNANCE
SmartFolder Clear is engineered as an autonomous storage utility. We facilitate the refinement of your digital space without establishing a centralized record of your identity or the contents of your file system.
The Boundary of Local Processing
SmartFolder Clear identifies and removes redundant APK files, residual application data, and temporary system caches.
Storage Access: To perform its core utility, the application requires the "All Files Access" (MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) permission.
On-Device Execution: All analytical operations occur entirely within your device's local CPU and memory. We do not possess the infrastructure to upload, mirror, or index your file names, folder structures, or private documents to any external server. Your data remains in your custody at all times.
Technical Telemetry & Ecosystem Partners
While your files are never extracted, SmartFolder Clear interfaces with specific third-party frameworks to maintain software resilience and monitor installation metrics.
Firebase (Google): Utilized for real-time crash diagnostics and performance monitoring. If a fatal error occurs, a pseudonymized technical log (hardware model, OS version, and failure stack trace) is generated to help us troubleshoot the software.
Attribution & Analytics (e.g., Adjust, AppsFlyer): These services assist us in understanding the commercial origin of an installation. They process technical identifiers such as your Advertising ID (GAID or IDFA).
Technical Isolation: These partners are contractually prohibited from accessing your local storage or associating technical telemetry with your real-world persona.
Legal Foundations for Data Handling
Our limited interaction with technical metadata is grounded in the following legal pillars:
Contractual Necessity: The local analysis of your storage environment is the essential service you have engaged us to perform.
Legitimate Interests: We utilize pseudonymized technical IDs to prevent fraudulent activity, secure the app environment, and evaluate our global operational reach.
Your Rights of Data Sovereignty
SmartFolder Clear recognizes your absolute authority over your digital presence. We honor the following rights for all users:
Right to Know (Sharing & Selling): You have the right to know if your data is shared or sold. SmartFolder Clear does not sell, trade, or rent your personal data. Sharing is strictly limited to the technical partners listed in Section 2 for operational health.
Right of Access & Rectification: You may request access to, or the correction of, any inaccurate or incomplete personal/technical data held by us or our telemetry partners.
Right to Erasure (Deletion): You have the right to request the total deletion of your data. Deleting the SmartFolder Clear app immediately purges all local scan history. For technical telemetry held by partners, our DPO can facilitate a purge request.
Right to Lodge a Complaint: You are explicitly entitled to contact a regulatory authority or data protection supervisor in your jurisdiction if you believe our data handling violates legal standards.
Retention and Disposal Cycles
Local Operational Data: Information regarding files identified for cleanup exists only in volatile memory during an active session and is cleared upon task completion.
Technical Telemetry: Non-identifiable data held by third-party partners is retained for the minimum period required for aggregate performance reporting—typically 12 to 24 months—before being permanently anonymized.
Choice and Non-Participation (Opt-Out)
We provide the tools to manage your digital footprint:
Disallowing Sharing/Sales: While we do not "sell" data, you can prevent technical sharing by enabling "Limit Ad Tracking" (iOS) or "Opt out of Ads Personalization" (Android) within your system settings.
Permission Revocation: You may withdraw storage access at any time through your device settings, which will instantly terminate all application functionality.
Governance & Data Protection Officer (DPO)
We have appointed a DPO to supervise our privacy standards and handle all user inquiries regarding data sovereignty.

II. END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT (EULA)
Grant of License
SmartFolder Clear grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to use the software on a single device for your personal maintenance, subject to these terms.
Usage Restrictions
By utilizing SmartFolder Clear, you agree not to:
- Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or derive the source code of the scanning logic.
- Use the application to intentionally interfere with system-critical files required for device stability.

Intellectual Property
The SmartFolder Clear name, branding, and proprietary algorithms remain the exclusive property of the developer. No ownership rights are transferred to you under this license.
Disclaimer of Warranty
SmartFolder Clear is provided "AS IS." While we strive for absolute precision, we do not warrant that the application will identify every piece of redundant data or remain entirely free from technical errors. Users are responsible for reviewing items flagged for removal before confirming deletion.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, SmartFolder Clear and its creators shall not be liable for any accidental loss of data, performance issues, or indirect damages resulting from the use or inability to use the software.
Termination
