FoxShare Terms of Service

Version 2026-10-08-r11

1. Agreement and operator

You accept these Terms by selecting the required unchecked Terms checkbox during onboarding. FoxShare is maintained by the FoxShare development team, based in India; contact ugenapps@gmail.com. Acceptance of these Terms does not opt you into optional usage diagnostics or replace separate advertising consent or privacy choices.

2. Service and responsibilities

FoxShare provides local device and browser file sharing and local file management. You control which files and recipients you choose. Transfer only material you own or are authorized to share, and do not distribute unlawful content, malware or material that infringes others' rights. Verify peers, keep copies of important files and review delete/replace operations. A recipient may retain files after the transfer or after you uninstall FoxShare.

3. Privacy and diagnostics

The Privacy Policy explains local permissions, peer identities, history, support email, Google Firebase processing and Google AdMob advertising, including UMP ad privacy messages and choices. Automatic crash reporting is initially enabled and can be disabled in App Settings → Crash reports. Re-enabling resumes after a clean restart confirms pending reports are cleared; deleting existing pending reports may require an additional restart. Optional usage diagnostics start off and have their own switch. File sharing remains available when either is off. See the Privacy Policy for identifiers, exception-message limitations, recipients, retention, international processing and rights. Terms acceptance does not replace separate disclosures or consent required by applicable law.

4. Security and data loss

Connection security depends on the transfer mode. Android phone-to-phone file transfers and local connection signaling require TLS; failed TLS connections are closed. Browser Share uses unencrypted local HTTP. One-tap discovery shares network passwords and session credentials with nearby Bluetooth GATT readers and reachable local-network UDP/NSD clients; TLS does not hide those credentials or prove the intended recipient's identity. Use a trusted network and verify recipients. Transfers can be interrupted by Android, connectivity, storage or peer failures. We aim to improve reliability but do not guarantee uninterrupted operation, a fixed speed or the absence of security defects. Keep your own backups of important files.

5. Intellectual property and third-party components

You retain rights in your files. These Terms do not transfer ownership of your content or grant the operator a right to publish it. FoxShare branding and application code remain subject to their respective owners' rights and licenses. Open-source and third-party components are governed by their applicable licenses, available through the app's license information. We do not assert automatic copyright safe-harbor protection in every jurisdiction.

6. Liability and mandatory rights

To the extent permitted by applicable law, FoxShare is provided as available and the operator limits responsibility for losses caused by connectivity, recipient conduct or misuse. No term excludes or limits liability or warranties that cannot lawfully be excluded, including applicable mandatory consumer rights. These Terms do not require you to waive statutory privacy, consumer or complaint rights. You may raise a service complaint at ugenapps@gmail.com. These Terms do not impose an exclusive court or prevent you from seeking remedies available under applicable law.

7. Changes and stopping use

You can stop using or uninstall FoxShare at any time. Uninstalling may leave received files and manually exported backups in shared storage. We may update functionality or these Terms at any time without prior notice where applicable law permits. Material changes will be reflected in a new version and communicated, or accepted again, when required by applicable law. Contact support about service problems or privacy rights using the address above. The latest published Terms are available at https://sites.google.com/view/foxshare/terms-of-service. The app also provides its included version for offline reading. Viewing later Terms does not itself record renewed agreement or change diagnostic or ad privacy choices.

8. Advertising and third-party destinations

FoxShare includes Google AdMob advertising, disabled by default. We may enable the implemented native, banner and occasional fullscreen advertising placements through Firebase Remote Config after account setup and required disclosures are ready, without an app update. Ads are excluded from active connection/transfer and reverse-sharing screens; unavailable ads are skipped without delaying navigation. The Privacy Policy describes placements, Google advertising data processing, UMP messages and ad privacy choices. Advertising permission is separate from optional usage diagnostics and crash reporting and does not gate file sharing. Accepting these Terms is not consent to personalized advertising or a substitute for any separate consent required by applicable law. Where required, you can revisit your choices through Settings → Ad privacy choices. Advertisements and linked destinations are provided by third parties; their content, offers and privacy practices are governed by their applicable terms and policies. Displaying an advertisement does not mean FoxShare endorses the advertiser or its products. Review an offer and the destination before choosing to interact.
