Privacy Policy

CleanMD

Effective date: 2026-06-02

This page explains how the current version of CleanMD handles event data, reminder settings, local permissions, and user controls. It is intended to serve as the public privacy policy URL for App Store submission and for end users who want a plain-language overview.

Plain-Language Summary

  • CleanMD does not require an account, does not provide cloud sync, and does not include ads, tracking SDKs, analytics SDKs, in-app purchases, subscriptions, or RevenueCat in the current version.
  • When you choose to convert a real file, the selected file is uploaded for document parsing only after you continue past the upload notice.
  • Converted Markdown results and recent conversion history are stored locally on your device unless you export, share, clear, or uninstall the app.
  • Do not upload sensitive personal, legal, medical, financial, or confidential documents unless you accept third-party processing.

Data Handled On Device

  • Selected file name, file type, file size, and detected PDF page count when available
  • The selected PDF or image file when you choose to convert it
  • Selected output mode: Obsidian-ready, AI-ready, or Plain Markdown
  • Converted raw Markdown and formatted Markdown result
  • Local conversion result identifiers and timestamps
  • Provider task identifiers or temporary result URLs when returned by the active conversion provider
  • Text copied to the clipboard or exported files only when you choose those actions
  • Support messages and email addresses only if you contact support or submit feedback

Storage and Collection

  • Converted Markdown and recent conversion history are stored locally in app storage on your device
  • The app removes transient source-file URIs from persisted conversion history
  • Exported .md files are created only when you choose to save or share them
  • No account-based cloud document library is provided in the current version
  • Files uploaded for conversion are processed by the configured parsing provider or CleanMD backend path; provider-side processing and retention are governed by that provider or service policy
  • You can remove locally stored results or history from the Local Storage screen, or remove app data by uninstalling the app

Permissions

  • Files access is used only when you choose a document through the system document picker
  • Photo Library access is used only when you choose an image, screenshot, or scan from Photos
  • Clipboard access is used only when you tap Copy Markdown
  • File saving and sharing use the system file and share interfaces when you choose Save or Share
  • The current version does not request location, contacts, microphone, camera, notification, or health permissions

Framework and Third Parties

  • The app is built with Expo and React Native and uses iOS system capabilities such as document picking, photo picking, clipboard, file storage, and sharing
  • Real document conversion may use a configured document parsing provider, such as MinerU, or a CleanMD backend/proxy endpoint hosted by the developer
  • The public support form is hosted on SuperMaster Lab and is used only if you submit feedback or support details
  • The current version does not include advertising SDKs, analytics SDKs, RevenueCat, StoreKit purchase flow, bank connections, or social login providers

Sensitive Use Boundaries

  • CleanMD is not designed for highly sensitive, confidential, regulated, legal, medical, or financial documents unless you accept the risks of third-party processing
  • CleanMD does not provide legal, medical, financial, tax, academic-integrity, or professional advice
  • OCR and document parsing can be imperfect; you should review converted Markdown before relying on it
  • Only upload documents that you have the right to process and share with a parsing service

User Controls

  • You can stop before conversion and avoid uploading a selected file
  • You can choose whether to copy, save, or share converted Markdown
  • You can clear locally stored converted results and local history from the Local Storage screen
  • You can manage app permissions later in iOS Settings
  • You can remove app data by uninstalling the app
  • For privacy questions, contact the public support email below or use the feedback form and include a reachable email address
