2. Information We Collect
Classic File Manager is designed with a strong commitment to privacy. We adhere to the principle of data minimization.
A. Information You Provide Directly:
App Preferences: Settings you configure within the app (e.g., sort order, default view).
Support Communications: Information you provide when you contact us for support.
B. Information Collected Automatically:
Device Information: Non-personal, anonymized technical data such as your device type, operating system version, and app version to ensure compatibility and improve performance.
Usage Data: Aggregated and anonymized analytics about feature usage, session frequency, and crash reports to identify and fix bugs and enhance the user experience. This data is not linked to your identity.
C. Crucially, Regarding Your Files:
Local Device Access: Classic File Manager requests permission to access your device's file storage (e.g., photos, media, downloads, documents) solely to display, organize, and manage these files locally on your device.
No File Collection: We do not upload, transmit, store, or collect the contents of your personal files (documents, photos, videos, etc.) on our servers. All file operations are performed locally on your device.
No Remote Viewing: We do not have the ability to see, access, or view your personal files.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the limited information we collect for the following lawful bases (under GDPR) and business purposes:
To Provide and Maintain the App: To enable core file management functionality.
To Improve the App: To analyze aggregated, non-identifiable usage data to enhance performance, fix errors, and develop new features.
To Communicate with You: To respond to your support requests and inquiries.
To Ensure Security: To monitor for potential misuse and ensure the technical security of the app.
4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
For users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and UK, our legal basis for processing the minimal data we collect is:
Performance of a Contract (Article 6(1)(b)): Processing is necessary to provide you with the app's core file management services.
Legitimate Interests (Article 6(1)(f)): Processing for analytics and improvement purposes, where our interests do not override your fundamental rights.
Consent (Article 6(1)(a)): Where applicable and required by law, we will obtain your explicit consent before processing data for specific purposes.
5. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data or file content. We may share the limited, non-personal technical data in the following strictly limited scenarios:
With Service Providers: With trusted third-party analytics and crash reporting services (e.g., Firebase, Sentry) that help us operate and improve the app. These providers are bound by strict data protection agreements.
For Legal Reasons: If required to do so by law or in response to valid legal requests by public authorities.
To Protect Rights: To protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property, and/or that of our users.
6. Your Data Protection Rights
Depending on your location, you have certain rights regarding your personal information:
GDPR (EEA/UK): Right of access, rectification, erasure ("right to be forgotten"), restriction of processing, data portability, and to object to processing. You can withdraw consent at any time.
CCPA/CPRA (California): Right to know, delete, correct, and opt-out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not sell or share your personal information.
VCDPA (Virginia): Right to access, correct, delete, obtain a copy, and opt-out of targeted advertising and profiling. You also have the right to appeal our decision regarding your request.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at renatosuriano47@gmail.com. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law and will need to verify your identity before processing your request.
7. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical measures to protect the limited information we process. However, no electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We strongly encourage you to use your device's built-in security features (e.g., PIN, biometric lock) to protect the files accessed by this app.
8. Data Retention
We retain the minimal technical and analytics data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, or as required by law. You can typically clear app data via your device's settings, which will remove local preferences.
9. International Data Transfers
Our infrastructure and service providers may be located outside your country of residence. When we transfer data, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
10. Children's Privacy
Classic File Manager is not directed to individuals under the age of 13 (or 16 under GDPR in some regions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you become aware a child has provided us with information, please contact us.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new policy in the app and updating the "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the app after such changes constitutes acceptance.
