PhotoRecover Plus (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency regarding how your information is handled when using our file recovery services. This Privacy Policy explains the types of data we process, the purpose of its use, and the measures we implement to safeguard your personal information.
1. Personal Data Processing
(a) Data Minimization Commitment
We do not automatically collect any personally identifiable information during app download, installation, or standard usage. Personal information is only processed when:
Provided voluntarily by you (e.g., contacting support via email);
Necessary to deliver core service functions (e.g., file scanning and recovery).
(b) Core Functionality: Storage Access & Recovery
To scan and retrieve deleted or lost files, photos, and videos from your device, we require Storage Access Permissions (including "All Files Access" where applicable by Android version).
Scan Scope: Limited to identifying recoverable file metadata.
Processing Logic: All scanning,cleaning recovery processes are performed locally on your device.
2. "Local-First" Privacy Guarantee
We understand the sensitive nature of your private files. Our architecture prioritizes your privacy through:
No File Uploads: We strictly do not upload, store, or monitor your private photos, videos, documents, or any scanned content to our servers.
Temporary Indexing: Any temporary data generated during the scanning process is used only for recovery display and is cleared once the app is closed or the cache is emptied.
3. Non-Personal Data Collection
To optimize recovery algorithms for specific hardware and improve application stability, we may collect anonymized data:
Device Information: Hardware model, OS version, hardware attributes, and unique device identifiers (e.g., Android ID).
Application Metadata: Package name, version number, and installation timestamps.
Network & Region: Connectivity type and approximate geolocation (masked IP address).
Usage Data: Feature interaction frequency, crash logs, and recovery success rate statistics.
4. Information Sharing & Third-Party Services
We may share anonymized data with authorized analytics and advertising partners (such as Google AdMob or Firebase Analytics) for:
Ad Delivery: Providing non-personalized advertisements and measuring ad performance.
Service Improvement: Analyzing crash reports to fix bugs and optimize performance.
Data types shared may include: language settings, carrier, display info, available storage, and Advertising ID (GAID). These third parties follow their own respective privacy policies.
5. System Permissions
The following permissions may be required to ensure the app functions as designed:
External Storage Access (Read/Write): To scan and restore deleted files.
Network State Access: To check for updates and load basic ad frameworks.
Query All Packages: Used for compatibility detection in specific recovery scenarios.
6. Your Rights & Control
You maintain full control over your data:
Permission Management: You can revoke storage or camera permissions at any time through your device system settings.
Data Erasure: Since we do not require account registration, we do not store personal profiles. Uninstalling the app will automatically delete all local scan records.
7. Children’s Privacy
Our application is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected such info, we will take immediate steps to delete it.
8. Security Measures
We implement reasonable physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to protect your data. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute protection.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Material updates will be communicated via in-app notifications or by posting the new policy on this page. Continued use of the service after changes take effect indicates your acceptance of the revised terms.
