Release Date: June 30, 2025
Dear User of RecoverMaster,
Your privacy is critically important to us. This statement aims to clearly outline how we process data related to you while you are using our services (hereinafter referred to as the "Service"). Please read this statement carefully before using the application. If you do not agree with any part of this statement, please do not use the Service. Installing and using this application signifies your acknowledgment that you have understood and accept the data processing practices described herein.
To ensure the normal operation of the Service's core functions and to optimize your experience, this application, subject to your authorization, interacts with the following categories of device data:
- Required Permissions: Storage read/write (READ/WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE), Manage all files (MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE)
- Usage Explanation: The core value of this application lies in helping you recover potentially lost photos, videos, audio, and other document files from your device's internal storage and SD cards. These operations (scanning, locating, recovering, saving, deleting) are performed entirely independently on your device. We solemnly guarantee: We do not transmit any file content from your storage to any external server without your explicit authorization.
- Required Permissions: Contacts read/write (READ/WRITE_CONTACTS)
- Usage Explanation: This permission is requested and used by the application only when you actively use specific features (e.g., "Recover Deleted Contacts" or "Save Recovered Contacts to Device Contacts"). All contact operations are processed locally on your device; this type of data is not uploaded to our systems.
- Required Permissions: Internet access (INTERNET), Network state detection (ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE), Wi-Fi state detection (ACCESS_WIFI_STATE)
- Usage Explanation: Used to ensure the operation of basic app functions (e.g., downloading updates), displaying essential service information (e.g., advertisements), collecting app crash reports to improve stability, and optimizing data transfer efficiency based on network conditions.
- Required Permissions: Post notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS)
- Usage Explanation: Used to send you important in-app update alerts, operation status notifications (e.g., file scan or recovery task completion prompts), and other service-related notifications.
- Involved Permissions & Scope: Advertising Identifier (AD_ID and related ACCESS_ADSERVICES_* permission set), Install source tracking (BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE)
- Usage Explanation: Used for the precise delivery of personalized advertising content, measuring the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, conducting user behavior analysis to understand service usage, and attributing marketing campaign effectiveness. Related data may be collected and processed by cooperating third-party advertising and analytics platforms (e.g., Google AdMob, Meta Audience Network).
- Required Permissions: Auto-start after boot (RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED), Wake lock (WAKE_LOCK), Foreground service (FOREGROUND_SERVICE / FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE)
- Usage Explanation:
- RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: May be used to initialize necessary background services after a device reboot to prepare for potential recovery tasks.
- WAKE_LOCK: Prevents the device from entering sleep mode during lengthy file scanning or recovery operations, avoiding task interruption.
- FOREGROUND_SERVICE: Starts a foreground service during ongoing background tasks (e.g., deep file scanning) to display a progress bar in the notification area and prevent the operation from being terminated by the system. These supporting operations themselves do not directly collect user data.
- Required Permissions: Google Play Billing (BILLING)
- Usage Explanation: If the app includes purchase options (e.g., removing ads or unlocking premium features), this permission is used to handle purchase transactions and manage your subscription/purchase status. Related purchase records are used to maintain your entitlements.
- App Performance Optimization
- Required Permissions: Get app size (GET_PACKAGE_SIZE)
- Usage Explanation: Used for storage space analysis, optimizing app resource usage, or performing performance diagnostics. This information is not used to identify specific users.
- Required Permissions: Receive cloud messages (com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE)
- Usage Explanation: Used to receive and display push notification messages via Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM).
- Emphasis on the MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE Permission: Given the specific nature of the file recovery function, we need to request this permission to comprehensively scan accessible storage areas. We reiterate: This permission is strictly used solely for achieving the app's core recovery purpose, based on your active operation commands, and is never used to upload your files to the cloud.
To provide a complete service experience (such as ad display, analytics, crash reporting, push notifications), we integrate code libraries/toolkits (SDKs) from some third-party service providers. These services may collect identifying information (e.g., device ID, advertising ID) to perform their functions. Currently involved major third-party services include:
- Adjust
- Google Analytics for Firebase
During your use of the Service, if abnormal situations occur (e.g., app crashes), we may collect "Diagnostic Information" through third-party tools. This data typically includes the device's IP address, model identifier, operating system version, app configuration, date and time of the event, etc. This information is collected solely for problem diagnosis and performance improvement purposes and is not linked to your file content.
The application itself does not directly set or use Cookies. However, website content provided by integrated third-party services (e.g., embedded help documentation web pages, ad network providers) may use Cookies or similar technologies to operate their services or conduct anonymous analysis. You can usually manage these technologies through device or browser settings. Disabling them may affect your experience accessing related web content.
To operate and maintain the Service efficiently, we may engage trusted third-party companies or individuals to perform specific tasks, including:
- Building and maintaining service infrastructure.
- Performing service-related functions.
- Assisting in data analysis to understand service usage patterns.
We require these partners to strictly adhere to the principles of this statement, access your information only within the minimal scope necessary to complete their assigned tasks, and strictly prohibit using the information for any other purpose or disclosing it to unrelated parties.
We commit not to sell or rent your personal files or sensitive information to any non-affiliated third parties. We may share necessary information only in the following specific circumstances:
- With your prior clear and explicit consent;
- When required by law, to respond to legal processes, or to protect our legal rights and security;
- Under strict confidentiality agreements, shared with partner service providers who provide us with core technical support or specific service functions (e.g., payment processing platforms).
We value your data security and are committed to employing industry-standard protective technologies and management measures (including encryption mechanisms during data transmission) to protect your information and the security of recovery operations. It is important to understand that no method of electronic transmission or storage over the internet is 100% absolutely secure; however, we will continuously strive to enhance our protection levels.
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Statement periodically to adapt to service development, technological advancements, or regulatory changes. Any significant changes will be announced by publishing the updated statement on this page, with a new release date indicated. We recommend that you review this statement regularly to stay informed about the latest content.
Our Service is not designed for or directed at children under the age of 13 (or a higher age if stipulated by your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from minors. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will take steps to delete it promptly. If you are a parent or guardian and know that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the information provided at the end of this statement, and we will cooperate in handling the matter.
If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions regarding this Data Privacy Protection Statement, please feel free to contact us via email at any time:
