FileForge Privacy Policy
FileForge is a file utility application that helps users convert, edit, resize, compress, manage, and work with images and documents on Android devices.
1. Information We Collect
FileForge is designed to process files that you choose to work with. We do not require you to create an account and FileForge does not intentionally collect the contents of your personal images, documents, or PDFs for our own storage.
- Images and documents you select for editing, conversion, compression, or other file operations.
- Files you choose to save or open through the Android file system.
- Basic app and device information needed for app functionality and advertising services.
2. How Your Files Are Handled
Files selected for processing are handled on your Android device by FileForge, except where a third-party service is required for a feature. FileForge does not operate a personal cloud storage service for your files.
When FileForge creates or edits a file, the resulting file may be saved to a user-accessible FileForge folder in the device's Downloads storage. You remain responsible for files you choose to keep, share, or delete.
3. Advertising
FileForge uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. The Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect information such as IP address, advertising/device identifiers, app interactions, and diagnostic information for purposes including advertising, analytics, security, fraud prevention, and improving the service.
For more information, see Google Privacy & Terms and Google's AdMob documentation.
4. How We Use Information
- Provide the file conversion, editing, compression, and management features you request.
- Save and retrieve files you choose to create or edit.
- Maintain app functionality, security, and reliability.
- Display advertisements through Google AdMob.
- Respond to privacy or support enquiries.
5. Sharing of Information
We do not sell your personal files or use your images or documents for advertising purposes.
FileForge may use third-party services such as Google AdMob. Those services may process device, advertising, interaction, and diagnostic information according to their respective privacy documentation.
6. File Sharing
FileForge can allow you to open or share files using Android's standard sharing and file-access mechanisms. When you choose to share a file, it is sent to the application or service you select. That third party's privacy policy then applies.
7. Data Retention and Deletion
FileForge does not maintain an account database containing your personal files. Files created by FileForge remain on your device until you or the Android system deletes them. You can delete saved files using Android's file-management features or FileForge's file-management features where available.
Advertising and diagnostic information handled by third-party services is subject to those providers' retention and deletion practices.
8. Security
We take reasonable steps to keep FileForge's handling of information secure. Third-party services used by the app, including Google services, may use encryption in transit and other security measures according to their own policies.
9. Children's Privacy
FileForge is a general-purpose file utility application and is not specifically directed to children. We do not knowingly request or collect personal information from children for our own purposes.
10. Your Choices
You control the files you select, save, share, and delete. Android also provides controls for advertising identifiers and permissions. You can manage applicable permissions and advertising settings through your Android device settings.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when FileForge's features, services, or legal requirements change. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated when material changes are made.
