More Space ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use the More Space mobile application (the "App"). Appè Latte Limited operates and maintains this application.
1. Information We Collect
To provide you with optimal device storage management, we collect the following types of information:
Device Storage Information
- Storage Analysis: Information about your device's storage usage, including file sizes, app storage, cached data, and available space.
- File Metadata: File types, sizes, creation dates, and locations (but not file contents) to identify storage-saving opportunities.
- Photo Library Metadata: With your permission, we analyze photo and video metadata (file size, resolution, duplicates) to identify potential space savings. We do not access or view the actual photo or video content.
Personal Information
- Account Details: When you register or use the App, we may collect your email address and basic profile information.

Technical Information

- Device Information: Device type, iOS version, language settings, storage capacity, and unique device identifiers.
Your Data Stays Private
We never access your personal files, photos, or documents. More Space only analyzes metadata (file sizes, types, dates) to identify cleanup opportunities. Your actual file contents remain completely private and are never viewed, stored, or transmitted by our app.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- Core Functionality: To analyze device storage, identify cleanup opportunities, remove unwanted files (only with your explicit approval), and provide storage recommendations.
- Storage Insights: To generate storage breakdowns, visual charts, and personalized recommendations for optimizing your device storage.
- Personalization: To remember your cleanup preferences and tailor recommendations based on your usage patterns.
- Communication: To send you notifications about storage alerts, app updates, and new features.
- Analytics: To analyze usage and trends to improve the App and develop new storage optimization features.
- Legal Compliance: To comply with legal obligations and protect our users.
3. Sharing Your Information
Your storage and device data are treated with the utmost confidentiality:
- No Selling or Renting: We do not sell or rent your personal or device information to third parties.
- No Content Access: We never access, view, or share the actual contents of your files, photos, or documents.
- Service Providers: We may share limited technical information with trusted service providers (such as Firebase for app functionality) who assist us in operating the App, provided they agree to keep your information confidential and secure.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights and users' safety.
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the new entity with the same privacy protections.
4. Permissions and Access
More Space requests access to certain device features to provide storage management functionality:
- Storage Access: To analyze storage usage and identify cleanup opportunities.
- Photo Library: With your permission, to analyze photo and video metadata (file sizes, duplicates) for storage recommendations. We never view or access actual photo or video content.
- Notifications: To alert you about low storage and cleanup opportunities.
User Control: You can manage all permissions at any time in your device settings. Denying permissions may limit certain features, but the core functionality remains available.
Explicit Approval Required: The app will never delete any files without your explicit confirmation for each cleanup action.
5. Data Security
We implement comprehensive security measures to protect your information:
- Local Processing: All storage analysis is performed locally on your device. File metadata is not transmitted to external servers.
- Encryption: Data transmitted between your device and our servers (such as account information) is encrypted using industry-standard protocols.
- Secure Authentication: We use secure authentication protocols to protect your account.
- Regular Audits: We conduct regular security audits and updates to maintain the highest security standards.
- Limited Access: Access to user data by employees and contractors is strictly limited and monitored.
- No Cloud Storage of Files: Your actual files never leave your device. We do not store or back up your files on external servers.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data using commercially acceptable means, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
