Clearo · HouseofTech Innovation Pvt Ltd

Last updated: 23 October 2026

HouseofTech Innovation Pvt Ltd (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates the Clearo mobile application (the “App”). Clearo is a file manager and storage cleaner for Android: it shows the files on your phone, lets you open, share, copy, move, rename and delete them, and finds junk files, empty folders, duplicates and large files you may want to remove. Clearo is free and supported by advertising. There are no accounts, purchases or subscriptions in the App.

Your files never leave your phone. Clearo reads and changes files only on your device, only when you ask it to. We do not upload, copy, sell or look at your files, and there is no Clearo account.

1. Information We Collect

A. Your files (stays on your device)

To work as a file manager and cleaner, Clearo asks for the Android “All files access” permission (on Android 10 and older, the storage permission). With it the App reads file names, sizes, dates and, for duplicate detection, small samples of file contents — all on your device.
None of this is sent to us or to anyone else. The scan results are kept only in the App’s memory and disappear when the App is closed.
Files are deleted, moved or renamed only after you choose them and confirm. Deleted files cannot be recovered by us.

B. Collected automatically

Device and app information: device model, operating system, app version, IP address, and your device’s advertising ID (used by our ad partner, see Section 3).
When the App starts it fetches its settings (ad settings and these policy links) from our server. That request carries your IP address and app version and nothing else.

C. Permissions

All files access / Storage — only to list, open, clean and organise your files on the device.
Internet — for ads and the App settings. The App does not use the camera, microphone, contacts or location.

2. How We Use Information

Run the file manager and cleaner on your device.
Show ads that keep the App free (Section 3).
Fix bugs and improve the App, using aggregated, non-identifying diagnostics.

3. Advertising

Clearo shows ads from Google AdMob: banners, full-screen ads at natural breaks (for example after a clean finishes), and an ad when you open or return to the App.
AdMob uses your device’s advertising ID, IP address and app-usage information to show, measure and cap ads and to prevent ad fraud. In some regions ads may be personalised. How Google uses this data: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Where the law requires it (for example the EEA and UK), the App asks for your consent before showing ads and lets you change your choice any time under Settings → Ad privacy choices.
You can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalised ads, in your Android settings (Settings → Google → Ads).
Your files and file names are never shared with advertisers.

4. Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with service providers who help run the App, under their own terms: Google AdMob (advertising) and Google Cloud (hosting the App settings). We may also disclose information if required by law.

5. Retention and Security

We hold no file data and no account data. Server request logs (IP address, app version) are kept for up to 30 days for security.
Data in transit is encrypted. No system is completely secure, but we follow industry practice to protect it.

6. Your Rights

Under applicable law, including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, you may ask to access, correct or delete your data, or withdraw consent. Contact us using the details below.

7. Delete Your Data

Clearo has no account, so there is nothing to sign out of or close. To remove everything the App holds on your phone, uninstall it. To ask us to delete server logs linked to your device, email support@houseoftech.ai with the subject “Clearo Data Deletion Request”; we act on it within 30 days. Advertising data held by Google is controlled from your Android ad settings (Section 3).

8. Children

Clearo is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.

9. Changes

We may update this policy. Significant changes will be shown in the App. Continuing to use Clearo means you accept the updated policy.
