Cora Privacy Policy
Cora: Phone Cleaner & Storage · Effective 10 November 2026 (version 1.2)
1. Who we are
Cora ("Cora", "we", "us") is a storage and video tool for Android, published on Google Play by the developer named on its Google Play listing. For any privacy question, email friendlink00@gmail.com.
2. What Cora reads on your phone, and why
To do its job, Cora reads the following on your device only. None of it is sent to us, because we have no server to send it to.
| What | Why | Permission |
|---|---|---|
| Photos, videos, audio and downloads (files and their details: name, size, date, folder) | To show what uses your storage, find duplicates, versions and similar photos, repair and compress videos, and move files to your SD card | Photos and videos / media access; optional media management |
| Storage and SD card information | To show free space, check whether a card is healthy, failing or fake, and track free space over time | — |
| App sizes and when apps were last used | For the App storage screen: which apps take the most space and which grow fastest | Usage access (only if you allow it) |
| How much mobile data and Wi-Fi each app used | For Data usage: which apps use the most data, and how much in the background | Usage access (only if you allow it) |
| Notifications (app, time, type, title and text) | For Notification Center: sorting notifications into Priority, General and Quiet, closing and snoozing them, and counting which apps send the most. Cora saves only which app, when and which group; the text is shown live and saved only if you turn on "Keep notification text for 24 hours", then deleted after 24 hours | Notification access (only if you allow it) |
| Battery and heat: temperature, charge level, charging state, battery health and charge cycles, and the phone's heat status | For Battery & heat: warnings when the phone gets hot or charges too hot, Cool-down, and where the battery went | — |
| Network connection: Wi-Fi or mobile data, signal strength, and which apps are using the network | For Network Doctor: why the connection drops, and which apps use data in the background | Usage access for each app's data (only if you allow it) |
| Which apps run, use data or wake the phone in the background | For Sleep: suggesting apps to put to sleep, and checking with Android that they really are asleep | Usage access and Notification access (only if you allow them) |
| Contacts | For the optional contacts clean-up: finding contacts that share a name, number or email. A backup file is saved to your phone's Download folder before anything changes | Contacts (only if you use this feature) |
| A memory card connected through a USB card reader | For Rescue: reading photos and videos from a card your phone cannot open. Cora never writes to that card | USB access (only when you connect a reader) |
Everything Cora works out — reports, history, fingerprints of photos and videos used to find copies — is stored in Cora's private storage on your phone. It is deleted when you uninstall Cora or clear its data.
What Cora may change, only if you allow it. During a Cool-down, Cora can lower the screen brightness and shorten the screen timeout (Modify system settings), and puts them back afterwards. To help you put apps to sleep, Cora opens Android's own settings pages and can show a short guide over them (Display over other apps). Cora cannot change those settings itself: you tap them.
3. What leaves your phone
Cora shows no ads and contains no advertising or analytics tools.
Purchases — Google Play
Cora Premium is sold through Google Play Billing. Google handles the payment; Cora never sees your card, bank or wallet details. Cora receives only whether you own Premium (and which plan), so it can unlock it. If you start a free trial, Cora keeps the date it ends on your phone, to show a countdown and remind you two days before. Google's handling of payments is covered by the Google Privacy Policy and Google Play's terms.
Optional: Google Play version check (Premium)
Off by default. If you turn it on in App storage, Cora asks Google Play for the current version of the apps on your phone, to tell you which have updates. This sends the names (package names) of those apps to Google Play. It never sends them to us.
Speed test — Cloudflare (only when you tap)
In Network Doctor, "Test speed" downloads from and uploads random data to Cloudflare's public speed test (speed.cloudflare.com) for a few seconds. As with any website, Cloudflare sees your IP address. No personal data, files or identifiers are sent, and nothing runs unless you tap. See the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
4. Gmail (when this feature is available)
A future version of Cora may let you connect a Gmail account to see what fills your mailbox and clean it up. If and when you choose to connect one:
- Cora reads message metadata only — sender, subject, date, labels, size and the unsubscribe header — never the body of your emails.
- Moving mail to Trash, unsubscribing or taking mail out of Spam happens only when you confirm it, one action at a time. Cora cannot permanently delete email.
- Your Gmail data is processed on your phone and stored only in Cora's private storage on your phone. It is never sent to us, never sold, and never used for advertising.
- Cora's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
- You can disconnect at any time in your Google Account permissions; uninstalling Cora deletes all mail data it stored.
5. What we do not do
- We do not run a server, and we do not collect, store or sell your personal data.
- We do not upload your photos, videos, files, contacts or email.
- We do not show ads, and Cora contains no advertising, analytics or tracking tools.
- Cora never removes, moves or changes a file without your confirmation. Removed files go to your phone's bin first, where they can be restored until it empties.
6. Keeping data safe
Data Cora keeps is stored in its private app storage, which other apps cannot read. Connections to Google (purchases, and Gmail when available) are encrypted (HTTPS).
7. Your choices and rights
- You can refuse or withdraw any permission in your phone's Settings; the related feature then stops.
- You can delete everything Cora stored by clearing its storage or uninstalling it.
- Because we hold no personal data on any server, there is nothing for us to access, correct or delete on our side. For data held by Google about your purchases, use your Google Account.
- Questions: friendlink00@gmail.com.
8. Children
Cora is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
9. Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we will update it here and change the effective date above. Significant changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
