Effective Date: March 10, 2026
File Restore - Photo Recovery ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy and security of our users. This Privacy Policy describes our practices regarding the information processed through our mobile application to ensure transparency and compliance with global data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
1. DATA PROCESSING AND CORE FUNCTIONALITY
Our App serves as a utility tool for file management and recovery. To provide these services, the App interacts with the data on your device as follows:
File Recovery (Photos, Videos, Audio): The App scans your device's storage to identify and restore fragments of deleted media.
Storage Optimization: Features such as Similar Image Detection and Screenshot Cleaning analyze file metadata and visual patterns.
LOCAL PROCESSING GUARANTEE: All scanning, analysis, and recovery of your personal files are performed locally on your mobile device. We do not upload, store, or transmit your personal photos, videos, or documents to any external servers.
2. PERMISSIONS AND USER CONSENT
To fulfill its technical purpose, the App requires specific access permissions. We will always request your explicit consent before accessing:
Extended Storage Access: Necessary to perform deep scans for lost or deleted data across the device's internal and external memory.
Media Library Access: Used to categorize and display recovered media to the user.
Control: You may grant or revoke these permissions at any time via Android System Settings > Apps > File Restore - Photo Recovery > Permissions.
3. DATA MINIMIZATION AND PRIVACY
No Personal Identification: We do not collect personal identifiers such as your name, phone number, email address (unless provided for support), or contacts.
No Third-Party Sharing: Since we do not collect your personal files, we do not share, sell, or trade your data with any third parties.
Data Integrity: We do not modify your existing files unless you explicitly use the "Cleaning" or "Delete" functions within the App.
4. EU GDPR COMPLIANCE & USER RIGHTS
For users residing in the European Economic Area (EEA), we adhere to the following principles:
Legal Basis: Processing is based on Contractual Necessity (to provide recovery services) and Consent (for storage access).
Your Rights: You have the right to access the data processed by the App, the right to erasure (by clearing the App cache), and the right to withdraw consent.
Data Portability: As files are stored locally, you maintain full portability and control over your data at all times.
5. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND ANALYTICS
The App may utilize trusted third-party SDKs (such as Google Play Services or Firebase) for:
Performance Monitoring: Tracking crash reports and app stability.
Technical Analytics: Collecting non-identifiable data (e.g., device model, language settings) to optimize the user interface.
Advertising: These partners may use anonymous advertising IDs to show relevant content, subject to your device's privacy settings.
6. DATA RETENTION
Media Data: We have a zero-retention policy for your recovered files. Once the App is closed or the scan session ends, no record of the file content remains within the App's memory.
Technical Logs: Anonymous technical logs are retained for the minimum period necessary for debugging, typically not exceeding 14 months.
7. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
Our App is not intended for individuals under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
8. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our services or legal requirements. We encourage users to review this page periodically.
