Privacy Policy
Last Updated: September 22, 2026
Nova Cleaner ("we," "our," or "the App") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how Nova Cleaner accesses, processes, and protects information when you use the App.
1. Local Data Processing
Nova Cleaner is designed with privacy in mind. All scanning, analysis, organization, compression, and cleaning of your photos and videos are performed locally on your device. Your photos, videos, screenshots, Live Photos, screen recordings, and related media content are not uploaded to our servers. We do not collect, store, or remotely access the contents of your photo or video library. Your media files remain on your iPhone and under your control.
2. Photo Library Access
Nova Cleaner may request permission to access your photo library in order to provide features such as:
• Finding similar photos
• Detecting duplicate photos
• Identifying blurry photos
• Managing Live Photos
• Finding screenshots
• Finding similar videos
• Identifying large videos
• Managing screen recordings
• Compressing photos and videos
• Deleting selected photos and videos
Access is only used to provide these features. You can change or revoke photo access at any time through Settings > Privacy & Security > Photos > Nova Cleaner. Some features may not work properly if photo access is disabled.
3. Data Storage
Media analysis results and related app data are stored locally on your device when necessary for the App to function. We do not maintain a cloud database containing your personal photos, videos, or cleaning results. If you delete the App, locally stored app data may also be removed from your device in accordance with iOS behavior.
4. Data We Do Not Collect
Nova Cleaner does not collect or store the contents of your photos, videos, Live Photos, screenshots, screen recordings, or compressed media files. We do not sell your personal media content to third parties.
5. Permissions
Nova Cleaner only requests permissions that are necessary to provide its features. You remain in control of these permissions and may change them at any time in your iPhone settings. Disabling certain permissions may limit the availability of related features.
6. Purchases and Subscriptions
Nova Cleaner may offer optional subscriptions or in-app purchases. All payments are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not directly receive or store your full payment card information. Subscription management, billing, renewal, and cancellation are handled through your Apple ID and App Store settings.
7. Third-Party Services
The App may rely on Apple system services required for normal operation, including App Store services and iOS permission frameworks. If we introduce additional third-party analytics, advertising, crash-reporting, or attribution services in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated to explain what information those services process.
8. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information processed by the App. Because photo and video processing is performed locally on your device, your media content does not need to be transferred to our servers for cleaning or compression. However, no software or storage system can guarantee absolute security.
9. Data Retention
We do not retain your photos, videos, or other media content on our servers. Any applicable app data stored locally remains on your device unless you delete it through the App, remove the App, or iOS removes the relevant local data.
10. Children's Privacy
Nova Cleaner is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children. Because media content is processed locally, we do not knowingly collect or store children's photos or videos on our servers.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the App, legal requirements, or our privacy practices. When changes are made, the updated version will be published with a revised “Last Updated” date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
