This Privacy Policy explains how Device File Library ("the App," "we," "us," or "our") handles your information. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.
1. No Collection of Your Personal Files
The fundamental principle of Device File Library is local-first and privacy-first.
Your Files Stay on Your Device: All file management activities—such as viewing, organizing, moving, renaming, or deleting files—are performed entirely locally on your device. We do not upload, transmit, or store your personal files (documents, photos, videos, audio, etc.) to any external servers or third parties.
No Backend Storage: There is no account system or cloud storage associated with this App. Your file library remains private and under your sole control.
2. Information We May Collect and Use
To provide core functionality, ensure stability, and improve the App, we may process limited technical information.
A. Automatically Collected Technical Information (Non-Personal):
Usage Diagnostics: Anonymous data related to App performance, such as crash reports, error logs, and general usage metrics (e.g., feature interaction). This helps us identify and fix bugs.
Device Information: Non-identifiable information like your device type, operating system version, screen resolution, and locale. This assists us in optimizing compatibility and user experience.
B. Information You Provide Directly:
Support Communications: If you contact us via email (e.g., thiongoroy11@gmail.com), we will receive your email address and the content of your message to provide support and respond to your inquiries.
3. Legal Basis for Processing (For EEA/UK Users)
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), our legal bases for processing the limited information described above are:
Legitimate Interests: Processing technical data is necessary for our legitimate interest in maintaining, improving, and securing the App, provided these interests are not overridden by your data protection rights.
Contractual Necessity: Processing is necessary to provide the basic file management functionality you request when using the App.
Consent: Where applicable and required by law, we will obtain your consent before processing data for specific non-essential purposes.
4. How We Use Collected Information
The limited information we collect is used strictly for the following purposes:
To operate, maintain, and provide the features of the Device File Library App.
To diagnose and resolve technical issues, crashes, and errors.
To analyze aggregated, non-personal usage trends to guide future improvements and feature development.
To communicate with you in response to your customer service requests.
5. Data Sharing and Third Parties
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We may share limited, non-personal technical data with trusted third-party service providers under strict confidentiality agreements to perform services on our behalf:
Analytics & Crash Reporting Services: We may use services like Google Firebase Crashlytics or Sentry solely to collect anonymized crash reports and basic performance data. These providers are prohibited from using the data for their own purposes.
Legal Obligations: We may disclose information if required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena or similar legal process, or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of others.
6. International Data Transfers
Our third-party service providers may process data in facilities located outside your country of residence, including in the United States. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as relying on the provider's Privacy Shield certification (if applicable) or Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, to protect your information in accordance with this policy.
7. Your Data Protection Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:
Right to Access & Portability: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Right to Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
Right to Erasure (Deletion): Request deletion of your personal data under certain conditions.
Right to Restrict Processing: Request we temporarily halt processing your data.
Right to Object: Object to our reliance on legitimate interests as a basis for processing.
Right to Opt-Out of Sale/Sharing (CCPA/CPRA): We do not sell data. California residents have the right to opt-out of the "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Right to Non-Discrimination (CCPA/CPRA, VCDPA): Exercise your rights without receiving discriminatory treatment.
Right to Appeal (VCDPA, CPA, etc.): Appeal a decision we make regarding a rights request.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at thiongoroy11@gmail.com. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law and will need to verify your identity before proceeding.
8. Data Retention
We retain automatically collected technical data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined, typically in an aggregated and anonymized form. Support email correspondence is retained as needed to address your inquiry and for our records.
9. Children's Privacy
Device File Library is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EEA/UK). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with information, please contact us, and we will promptly delete it.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. The "Effective Date" at the top will indicate when changes were made. We encourage you to review this policy occasionally. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
