MellowClean - Privacy Policy

Core Privacy Commitment

MellowClean is committed to protecting your privacy and complying with all U.S. privacy laws. We adhere to three core principles:

Collect only the minimum necessary data for core functions
Never sell, rent, or share your personal data for commercial purposes
All data processing is transparent and controllable by you

We do not collect sensitive personal information (contacts, messages, location, payment info) without your explicit consent, and most data processing is completed locally on your device.

App Permissions & Usage

MellowClean requests only necessary permissions to provide cleaning and optimization services. Below is a detailed explanation of each permission:

1. Photo/Storage Permissions (READ_MEDIA_IMAGES, READ_MEDIA_VIDEO)

We generate motivational quotes and convert them into wallpapers for users. To facilitate saving these wallpapers to your device, we request photo/storage access. This permission is only used to save our generated wallpapers—we never access, read, or collect your existing photos, videos, or personal files.

2. Device & Storage Information

We collect basic device information (model, OS version, storage/RAM status) solely to scan and clean junk files, residual cache, and leftover files across your device, helping you free up storage space.
