This Privacy Policy describes how Speaker Cleaner & Dust Remover (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you use our mobile application Speaker Cleaner & Dust Remover (the “App”), available on Android.
By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
1. Overview
Speaker Cleaner & Dust Remover is a speaker care utility that helps remove water and dust from device speakers using audio frequencies, vibration, and related tools. The App does not require you to create an account. Core cleaning features can be used without signing in.
Some features—such as analytics, crash reporting, advertising, and push notifications—require an internet connection and may involve collection of limited technical and usage information as described below.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information stored locally on your device
The App stores certain information only on your device using local storage (Hive). This data is not uploaded to our servers unless you choose to share it outside the App.
Local data may include:
- App settings: theme preference, default cleaning duration, vibration and animation preferences, startup screen, favorite frequencies, and similar configuration options.
- Cleaning history: cleaning mode used, frequency, duration, and date/time of sessions.
You can clear cleaning history from within the App. Uninstalling the App removes locally stored data from your device.
2.2 Information collected automatically
When you use the App and are connected to the internet, we and our service providers may automatically collect:
- Device and app information: device model, operating system version, app version, language, and general device settings.
- Usage and analytics data: screens viewed, features used, session activity, cleaning mode completions, ad interactions, navigation patterns, and similar app usage events.
- Advertising identifiers: Google Advertising ID (GAID), where permitted by your device settings.
- Crash and diagnostic data: crash logs, error reports, stack traces, and performance-related diagnostics to help us improve stability.
- Push notification token: a Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) token used to deliver push notifications if you grant notification permission.
We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or other direct contact information through normal use of the App unless you contact us voluntarily.
2.3 Information we do not collect
The App is not designed to collect:
- Audio recordings from your microphone
- Photos, videos, or camera data
- Precise location or GPS data
- Contacts, SMS, or call logs
- Payment or financial account information (the App does not process in-app purchases through us)
3. How We Use Information
We use collected information to:
- Provide, operate, and maintain the App and its features
- Remember your preferences and cleaning history on your device
- Analyze usage to improve performance, features, and user experience
- Display advertisements through Google AdMob
- Measure advertising and marketing effectiveness
- Send push notifications (if you opt in)
- Detect, diagnose, and fix crashes and technical issues
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms
4. Third-Party Services
The App uses third-party services that may collect information according to their own privacy policies. These include:

- Google AdMob — advertising

Meta (Facebook) App Events
The App uses Meta App Events for analytics and advertising-related measurement, which may include collection of device and advertising identifiers.
Meta Privacy Policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy
We do not control how these third parties process data. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.
5. Advertising
The App displays ads provided by Google AdMob and related ad partners. Ads may be personalized based on your advertising identifier and usage data, subject to your device and platform settings.
You can limit ad personalization on your Android device through:
- Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalization
Even if you opt out of personalized ads, you may still see non-personalized advertisements.
6. Permissions
The App may request the following device permissions:
| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Internet | Analytics, ads, crash reporting, and push notifications |
| Vibrate | Vibration-based cleaning features |
| Modify audio settings | Audio playback and speaker-related functionality |
| Wake lock | Keep the device active during cleaning sessions |
| Notifications | Deliver push notifications (optional; you may deny this permission) |
You can manage or revoke permissions in your device settings. Some features may not work correctly if required permissions are denied.
7. Push Notifications
If you allow notifications, we may send push messages through Firebase Cloud Messaging. You can disable notifications at any time in your device settings. Disabling notifications does not delete locally stored app data.
8. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share limited information with:
- Service providers that help us operate the App (e.g., Google Firebase, Google AdMob, Meta)
- Legal authorities when required by law, court order, or to protect rights, safety, and security
- Business transfers in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this Privacy Policy
Locally stored settings and cleaning history remain on your device unless you delete them or uninstall the App.
9. Data Retention
- Local data is kept on your device until you delete it or uninstall the App.
- Analytics, crash, and advertising data retained by third-party providers is governed by their respective retention policies.
- Information you send us by email is retained only as long as needed to respond to your request.
10. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information handled through the App and our service providers. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Children’s Privacy
The App is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
12. International Users
If you use the App from outside your country of residence, your information may be transferred to and processed in countries where our service providers operate, including the United States. Those countries may have different data protection laws than your jurisdiction.

You can:
- Clear cleaning history within the App
- Reset advertising preferences on your device

If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, including the right to know what categories of personal information are collected, to request deletion, and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
We do not sell personal information in the traditional sense. Advertising partners may process data for ad measurement as described above. To make a privacy request, email iplselfie2022@gmail.com.

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy
