This Privacy Policy describes how Phone File Searcher ("we," "our," or "the app") handles your information. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices.
Please read this policy carefully. By using Phone File Searcher, you agree to the terms outlined here.
1. The Short Version
Phone File Searcher is designed with your privacy in mind. We believe your files are your business.
We Do Not Collect, Store, or Transmit Your Personal Files or Data. Your documents, photos, videos, and other files never leave your device. All file management operations (copy, move, delete, etc.) happen locally on your phone.
No Account Required. You do not need to create an account or provide any personal information like your name or email to use the app.
Limited Technical Data. We only collect minimal, non-personal technical information (like anonymous app usage statistics) to help us improve the app's performance and stability. This data cannot be used to identify you.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
We want to be unequivocally clear about what we do not do:
We do not access, read, upload, or store the content of your files.
We do not collect your personal information such as your name, address, email, or phone number (unless you voluntarily email us for support).
We do not track your browsing history or activities outside of this app.
We do not sell, rent, or trade any user data because we simply do not collect any data that could be sold.
3. Information We May Collect
The information we collect is minimal and focused on improving the app:
A) Non-Personal Information (Automatically Collected)
This is aggregated, anonymous data that helps us understand how the app is used. It may include:
App Usage Data: Frequency of use, features accessed, and crash reports. This data is anonymized and cannot be linked back to you.
Device Information: Non-identifiable information such as your device's operating system version, model, and language settings to ensure compatibility.
This data is collected through third-party services (like Google Analytics for Firebase) that adhere to their own privacy and security standards.
B) Information You Provide Voluntarily
Contact Email: If you contact us for support at bunilaser@gmail.com, we will receive your email address and the content of your message. We use this solely to respond to your inquiry and will not add it to a marketing list without your explicit consent.
4. How We Use Information
We use the limited information we have for the following purposes:
To operate, maintain, and improve the functionality of the app.
To diagnose and fix crashes and technical issues.
To respond to your customer support requests.
To understand general user trends to guide future development.
5. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
For users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom, our legal basis for collecting and using the information described above depends on the information concerned.
For the minimal technical data collected, we rely on our legitimate interests in providing a stable and improving application.
For any personal data you provide via email, we rely on your consent to process that communication.
You have the right to withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
6. Your Data Protection Rights
Depending on your location, you have certain rights regarding your personal data:
GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation - EEA & UK): You have the right to access, rectify, or erase your personal data, restrict processing, object to processing, and data portability. To exercise these rights, please contact us.
CCPA/CPRA (California Consumer Privacy Act/Privacy Rights Act - California): You have the right to know what personal information is collected, used, shared, or sold, and the right to access, delete, and opt-out of the sale of your personal information. We do not and will not sell your personal information.
VCDPA (Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act - Virginia): You have the right to access, correct, delete, and obtain a copy of your personal data, and to opt-out of the processing of your personal data for targeted advertising or sale. We do not engage in targeted advertising or the sale of personal data.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at bunilaser@gmail.com. We will respond to your request within the timeframes required by law. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.
7. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical measures to protect any information we hold. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Data Retention
We retain the anonymous technical data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy.
We retain email correspondence for as long as necessary to address your inquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter for record-keeping purposes.
9. Third-Party Services
Our app may contain links to third-party websites or services (e.g., cloud storage services you choose to link to). This Privacy Policy does not apply to those services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you use.
10. Children's Privacy
Phone File Searcher is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or 16 under GDPR). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will delete it.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this policy periodically for any changes.
