4. Your Rights Under the GDPR

We respect your control over your personal data. As a user, you are entitled to the following rights:

4.1 Access to Your Data

You can request details about the personal data we hold on you. This includes the right to obtain a copy of the data, as well as information on how and why it is being used. If the app offers user account settings, you may directly access, edit, or delete certain data yourself. If not, feel free to contact us for help in accessing this information.

4.2 Correction of Inaccurate Information

If you find that any personal data we’ve collected is incomplete or incorrect, you have the right to request that it be corrected. We will update or amend the records as soon as reasonably possible to reflect the most accurate information.

4.3 Erasure of Your Data ("Right to be Forgotten")

In situations where your data is no longer needed, or if you withdraw consent or object to processing with no overriding legitimate grounds, you can ask us to delete your personal information. We will honor such requests as long as we are not legally required to retain the data.

4.4 Restriction of Processing

You can ask us to temporarily limit how we use your personal data, especially in cases where the accuracy of the data is disputed or you have objected to its use. During the restriction period, we will not use your data for any purpose beyond storage, unless you provide further consent or legal obligations require otherwise.

4.5 Data Portability

You have the right to obtain a copy of your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. You can also request that we transfer this data directly to another organization, where technically feasible. This right is applicable to data you have provided to us either with your consent or as part of a contract.

You can object to our use of your personal data when it is processed under legitimate interest, particularly in situations where your individual circumstances warrant a different approach. You also have the absolute right to object to your data being used for direct marketing purposes.

4.7 Withdrawal of Consent

If we process your personal data based on your consent (e.g., for analytics or marketing), you can withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect any processing already carried out before your withdrawal, but we will stop any future processing immediately. Please note that certain app functionalities may be limited if consent is withdrawn.

4.8 Avoidance of Automated Decisions

You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, where such decisions may have legal or similarly significant effects on you. Currently, Cleaner Elite does not make any such decisions purely through automated means.

4.9 Filing a Complaint

If you believe we have mishandled your personal data or violated your rights, you are entitled to file a complaint with your local data protection authority. A list of data protection authorities in the EEA is available online for reference.

5. Exercising Your Rights

To submit a request regarding any of the rights listed above—such as access, correction, deletion, or objection—you may contact us directly at [email protected]. For security purposes, we may request identity verification before proceeding with certain requests. We aim to respond promptly, typically within 30 days, as required by law.

5.1 Managing Mobile Advertising and Location Data

In addition to the above rights, your mobile device may allow you to control how certain types of data are collected and used for advertising:

5.2 For Android Users:

You can opt out of personalized ads by navigating to Settings > Google > Ads, and enabling the option “Opt out of Ads Personalization”. This setting prevents apps from using your device’s advertising ID for interest-based advertising.

5.3 Location Access:

You can restrict or revoke location access to the app by visiting your device’s system settings. On both Android and iOS, you can usually find this option under App Permissions or Location Services. Disabling location access may affect location-based features in the app.

We encourage you to review and use these settings to tailor your privacy experience. If you need help adjusting these preferences or have any questions about your rights, please reach out to us at [email protected].

6. Disclosure of Your Information

6.1 Circumstances for Disclosure

We will not share your information with third parties without your consent, except in these scenarios: with your explicit authorization.

If you have given us explicit permission to share your information with specific third parties for a specific purpose, such as to provide you with a service or product you requested that requires the participation of another company, we will only share it to the extent you have authorized.

We may also share your information in the ways permitted or described by our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, such as with service providers who assist us in operating our business and providing services, provided that they are subject to strict confidentiality obligations and use your data only for the purposes we specify. 

6.2 Affiliate and Partner Sharing

We may share data with affiliates, joint ventures, or service providers to: providing Services.

We may share your data with affiliates, joint ventures, or service providers to achieve these purposes. These entities are required to use your data only for the purposes set out in our agreements with them and must comply with our privacy standards and requirements.

In order to protect a safe and positive experience for all of our users, we may share your data with affiliates, joint ventures, or service providers as necessary to enforce our Terms of Service or Privacy Policy.

We are committed to protecting your privacy at all times and will only share your data in a manner consistent with the purposes outlined in our Privacy Policy.

7. Third-Party Services

7.1 External Links and Ads

Our application may include third-party links or advertisements. Clicking these may redirect you outside our platform. This Privacy Policy does not govern third-party practices, and we disclaim liability for their actions.

7.2 Data Transmission Risks

Information shared via the application may be intercepted by third parties. For heightened security, consider alternative sharing methods.

8. Security Measures

We understand our responsibility to protect the security of your data. To that end, we have implemented a multi-layered security framework.

From a technical perspective, we use advanced security measures, such as advanced encryption protocols, to protect data in transit and at rest. We also utilize intrusion detection systems, regular security audits, and vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential threats before they can be exploited.

From a physical perspective, we maintain secure facilities that prevent unauthorized physical access to data storage locations.

Despite these comprehensive security measures, we also recognize that no security system can fully protect against all possible threats. The cyber threat landscape is changing rapidly, and while we strive to stay ahead of emerging risks and invest heavily in our security infrastructure, we cannot provide absolute security guarantees.

9. International Users

In the course of providing the Services, your data may be stored or processed in locations around the world, including the United States. Please note that the data protection laws and regulations in the United States and other countries where your data is stored or processed may differ from those in your country of residence. These differences may affect how your data is processed and protected.

By using our Services, you acknowledge and consent to the transfer of your data to these locations. We are committed to ensuring that such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws and that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data.

We will continue to monitor and adapt to changes in global data protection laws and regulations to ensure that your data is protected to the best of our ability. If you have any concerns or questions about the international transfer of your data or the legal framework for such transfers, please feel free to contact us.

10. Children’s Privacy

At Cleaner Elite, we take the privacy of all our users very seriously, especially the privacy of our child users. Our services are not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the legal age of consent in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal data from such children.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently obtained personal data from a child under the age of 13 (or the legal age of consent in your jurisdiction) without parental consent, we will immediately take steps to delete such information from our records. We will make every effort to ensure that such data is deleted in a timely manner to protect the privacy of the child.

If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that your child has provided us with personal data without your consent, please immediately report your concerns to us at [email protected]. Upon receipt of your request, we will verify the situation and take all necessary steps to resolve it, including deleting the child's personal data from our systems.

11. Advertisement Policy

In our apps, we use advertising to provide you with a free and enhanced user experience. These ads may include placements from third-party ad networks, such as the Facebook Audience Network. These third-party networks are essential in serving you relevant and targeted ads that may be of interest to you based on your preferences and behavior.

If you would like to manage your ad preferences or opt-out of certain types of targeted ads, you can visit Facebook's Ad Choices page. Through this platform, you can customize the types of ads you receive from Facebook and its partners. Additionally, you can learn more about interest-based advertising and how we use your data to serve personalized ads.

Please note that opting out of targeted ads does not completely stop you from seeing ads. You may still receive generic ads that are not tailored to your interests. However, it will give you more control over the types of ads you see when using our apps.

12. Contact Us

For questions, comments, or to report policy violations, contact us at [email protected].

We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically. Continued use of our services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
