FileOne Privacy Policy

1. Data We Process

Files and media on your device

After you grant permission, FileOne accesses files, file names, folder structure, and media metadata on your device to provide file browsing, search, preview, copy, move, compression, extraction, and deletion features. This data is normally processed only on your device; we do not upload it to our servers.

SMB network connection information

When you choose to connect to your own SMB server, the App processes the server address, user name, domain, and password to establish the connection and read or write the network files you select. If you choose to save an SMB password, it is stored in encrypted preferences backed by Android Keystore. You can remove saved network accounts in the App.

Local-network file transfer

When you choose to turn on Browser Transfer, the App provides a file-transfer service on your current local network. Browsers you authorize with the pairing code can view, upload, download, or delete files in the selected transfer folder. Transferred files and file names move only between your device and the local-network devices you select; they do not pass through our servers.

App settings

The App stores necessary settings locally on your device, such as display preferences, recently used locations, and transfer-service state, to provide and restore App features.

2. What We Do Not Do

FileOne does not provide a user-account system or integrate third-party analytics, behavioral-tracking, or crash-reporting services. We do not sell or rent your personal or sensitive data. If a future version adds a service that processes user data, we will update this policy and the related Google Play disclosures before that version is released.

3. Data Transfers and Security

SMB connections and local-network transfers occur only when you actively use the relevant feature. Browser Transfer uses HTTP, so enable it only on a trusted local network and keep your pairing code secure. The encryption and signing capabilities of an SMB connection depend on the server configuration. We do not claim that every transfer is encrypted.

4. Permissions

File-access permissions support core file-management functions. Network and Wi-Fi-state permissions support SMB connections, local-network discovery, and Browser Transfer. Notification permission displays status for transfers, background tasks, and media streaming. The install-unknown-apps permission is used only when you open an APK and choose to install it. The set-wallpaper permission is used only when you choose to set an image as wallpaper.

5. Retention and Deletion

You control your files, which remain on your device, on the SMB server you select, or on the device to which you actively transfer them. You can delete files in the App, remove saved SMB credentials, or clear FileOne’s app data in Android system settings to delete data the App stores locally. We do not operate developer servers that store this data, so we have no user records to delete remotely.

6. Third Parties and Children

The App’s file-preview, compression, and network-connection components provide functionality on your device or at the network endpoint you select. We do not sell, rent, or provide user data to data brokers. The App does not provide accounts or behavioral tracking for children.

7. Updates and Contact

When the App’s data-processing practices change materially, we will update this policy and its effective date on this page. For privacy questions, deletion assistance, or questions about this policy, contact [email protected].
