Data controller

Belibitools ("we"), a Quebec-based company, is responsible for the processing of personal information collected through the website https://belibitools.ca/en and the CleanerApp application.

For any privacy-related question: infos@belibitools.ca

02

Data we collect and purposes

On this website, we only collect the following data:

  • Contact form: name, email address, message. Purpose: responding to your request.
  • Browsing data: IP address, browser, pages visited (standard server logs). Purpose: security and technical maintenance.
  • Blog view counter: an anonymized fingerprint of your visit (computed with a secret key, not reversible) is kept so the same reading is not counted several times. Purpose: measure interest in articles.
  • Audience measurement (with your consent): anonymized visit statistics via Google Analytics 4. Purpose: improving the site. See the Cookies section.
03

Data collected

CleanerApp collects no personal data. The app accesses the following resources solely to analyze them locally:

  • Photo library — to detect duplicates and junk files
  • Contacts — to detect duplicates and incomplete entries
  • Storage — to calculate used space and large files
  • Calendar — to spot duplicate, canceled or past events
  • Emails (if you connect a Gmail, Outlook or other IMAP account) — to sort ads and newsletters, offer unsubscribing, and detect recurring paid subscriptions (see the "Emails" section)
  • Home screen widgets — the app writes aggregated totals (health score, recoverable space, number of issues per module, name of the heaviest module, day streak) to a shared container on your device, which the widget displays. No email, contact or photo content is included.
  • Live Activity (Dynamic Island and Lock Screen) — during a scan, the app shows the current step and counters, with no personal data.

This data is processed on your device. No files, contacts, events or emails are copied, sent, or stored on our servers.

04

100% on-device processing

All analysis (duplicate detection, photo quality, contact merging, calendar) is performed directly on your iPhone, with no internet connection required. Reading your emails requires a connection to your mail provider (Google, Microsoft or the provider of your IMAP account), but the analysis itself happens on your iPhone.

We have no access to or visibility into the content of your gallery, contacts, calendar, files, or emails.

05

iOS permissions

CleanerApp only requests permissions necessary for its operation:

  • Photos — access to your library for local analysis; deleting and adding photos only at your request (clean-up, vault, restore), each deletion being confirmed by iOS
  • Contacts — read access for duplicate detection, and write access only when you merge or delete entries
  • Calendar — read access to events for local analysis
  • Notifications (optional) — local reminders scheduled on your device (for example a weekly reminder). CleanerApp uses no remote (push) notifications and receives no notification token
  • Live Activities (optional, Dynamic Island and Lock Screen) — showing the progress of a scan; the activity is started, updated and ended locally by the app, without any server
  • Face ID (optional) — protecting the photo vault

Widgets have no network access: they only read the aggregated totals shared locally with the app. You can revoke these permissions at any time in Settings → CleanerApp on your iPhone.

06

Photo vault

The vault is optional. When you put a photo or video in it:

  • it is copied into the app and encrypted (AES-256-GCM). The encryption key is created on your device and kept in the iOS Keychain; it is never sent anywhere else;
  • the encrypted copy is fully verified, then the original is deleted from your camera roll after you confirm in the iOS dialog. If you use iCloud Photos, this deletion applies on all your devices;
  • the original stays 30 days in "Recently Deleted" in Apple's Photos app, which you can empty to erase it for good;
  • opening the vault is protected by Face ID or your device passcode; you can restore a photo to your camera roll at any time (it is then added as a new item).

Your vault photos stay on your device. We have no access to them and hold no key: if you delete CleanerApp without an encrypted backup of your device, the vault's content is permanently lost and we cannot recover it. The vault's encrypted files are part of the app data included in your device backups; they can only be read if the Keychain key is restored with them (encrypted backup).

Limits: a Live Photo loses its animation in the vault, and for an edited photo the edited version is kept (the unedited original only stays in "Recently Deleted" for 30 days).

07

Emails (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud and others)

If you choose to connect an account, sign-in works in one of two ways:

  • Gmail and Outlook — through Google's or Microsoft's official authorization mechanism (OAuth): CleanerApp never sees your password.
  • Yahoo, iCloud and other mail providers (IMAP) — with an app password you create at your provider (not your usual password). It is stored in your iPhone's secure keychain, never sent to our servers, and only transmitted to your provider's own server over an encrypted (TLS) connection whose certificate is verified. You can revoke it at any time with your provider.
  • What is read — message headers (sender, subject, date, size) to sort ads and newsletters and, for subscription detection, excerpts or the content of the latest receipts and invoices from each merchant to read an amount and a management link.
  • What is changed — only what you ask for: moving messages to the trash or unsubscribing.
  • Where it stays — this information is processed on your iPhone. It is not sent to us or to any third party. A copy of the headers and detected subscriptions is kept locally to speed up later analyses; the access token is stored in the iOS secure keychain.
  • You stay in control — remove the account in the app to erase this local data, and revoke access (or the app password) with your provider at any time.

CleanerApp's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. This data is used only to provide the features described above: it is not sold, not used for advertising, and not read by humans.

08

In-App Purchases

CleanerApp offers Pro subscriptions (monthly, annual) and a lifetime access via Apple In-App Purchases.

  • Payments are processed exclusively by Apple and RevenueCat
  • We do not receive or store your payment information
  • RevenueCat may collect an anonymous installation identifier for purchase verification purposes

For RevenueCat's privacy policy: revenuecat.com/privacy

09

Third-party services

CleanerApp uses only the following services:

  • RevenueCat — subscription management and purchase verification
  • Apple App Store — distribution and payment processing
  • Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Apple (iCloud) and your own mail provider — only for the account you connect (see "Emails")
  • Sentry — technical error reports, to fix crashes. A report contains the error message, technical device information and the app version; it contains no photos, contacts, or email content.
  • Site icon services (Google and DuckDuckGo) — to show a sender's logo in the email analysis, CleanerApp sends only the sender's domain name (for example "netflix.com") to Google's public icon service and, if it has no icon, to DuckDuckGo's. Never the message content, the sender's address, or your identity. Like any internet request, it transmits your device's IP address to the service concerned. For over a hundred common brands, the logo is built into the app and no request is made.

No advertising or ad-tracking SDKs are integrated into the app.

10

Legal basis for processing

Our processing is based on:

  • Your consent (contact form).
  • Our legitimate interest (technical logs, website security).
11

Data retention

  • Contact data: 12 months after your request is closed.
  • Server logs: 30 days.
12

Sharing with third parties

We do not sell, rent or share your personal information with third parties for commercial purposes.

Data may only be shared with technical subcontractors (hosting provider Hostinger) strictly within the scope of service delivery, under confidentiality agreements.

13

Transfers outside Quebec

Our data is hosted on servers managed by Hostinger (locations may include countries outside Quebec). These transfers comply with Law 25 requirements and applicable data protection laws.
