WiFi Files Privacy Policy
Effective date: August 2, 2026
Product: WiFi Files (bundle ID: io.awakendragon.wifishare)
Distribution: The app is currently intended for distribution outside mainland China via channels such as the Apple App Store and Google Play. It is not presently listed on app stores in mainland China. If we expand to new regions, we will update this policy as required.
This English version is provided for international store listings and overseas users. Please have qualified counsel review before formal release. Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, UK GDPR, or CCPA/CPRA), you may have additional statutory rights.
1. Introduction
1.1 WiFi Files (the “App”) is provided by the developer / operator (“we”, “us”, or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information related to the App and how you may exercise your rights.
1.2 Core model: The App primarily processes files and personal data on your device and on the local network you deliberately enable. We do not provide our own content cloud for long-term hosting of your contacts, photos, SMS, or sandbox files.
1.3 For analytics, crash diagnostics, and in-app purchases, we use third-party services such as Apple / Google, Firebase, and RevenueCat, as described below. Those services may process data outside your country / region.
2. Information We Process
We do not intentionally collect information not described below.
2.1 Information processed mainly on device
| Category | Use case | How it is handled |
|---|---|---|
| Sandbox files | LAN file sharing | Stored in the app sandbox; accessible on the LAN after you start the service |
| Contacts | Data migration | Read / write on device after OS permission; transferred over LAN during migration |
| SMS (Android) | Data migration | Read on device after permission and transferred over LAN; writing may be limited by the OS |
| Photos / metadata | Migration, similar-photo scan and delete | Accessed via the system photo APIs after permission; similarity features are computed on device |
| LAN IP, device name | Address display, discovery, connection | Used locally for networking |
| Migration task records | Resume and history | Stored on device |
| PIN, session tokens, resume credentials | Authentication | Generated and verified on device; QR codes may encode connection parameters |
| Theme, language, port, etc. | Settings | Local preferences |
| Free / purchased credit ledger | In-app credits | On-device secure storage (e.g. Keychain / Keystore) |
2.2 Information processed via third parties
| Category | Purpose | Processors (examples) |
|---|---|---|
| App events and usage | Product improvement | Google Firebase Analytics |
| Crash logs, device model, OS version, stack traces | Stability diagnostics | Google Firebase Crashlytics |
| Purchase receipts, anonymous app user IDs, entitlement status | Validate and restore purchases | Apple / Google and RevenueCat |
These processors may handle data in the United States or other countries. Using related features means you understand that data may be transferred across borders and is also subject to their privacy policies. See:
- Google Privacy Policy
- RevenueCat Privacy Policy
- Apple / Google documentation on App Analytics and purchases
2.3 What we do not actively do
- We do not require a dedicated phone number / email account for the App (store accounts excepted);
- We do not bulk-upload your contacts, full SMS bodies, or original photos to our own content servers for “cloud backup”;
- We do not broadcast file contents on the LAN unless you have started the corresponding service.
3. Permissions
| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Local network / nearby Wi‑Fi | Device discovery, file server, and migration |
| Location (some Android versions) | Read Wi‑Fi LAN addresses (not continuous tracking of your whereabouts) |
| Photos / media | Similar photos, photo migration, saving images |
| Contacts | Contact migration |
| SMS (Android) | SMS migration |
| Camera | Scan QR codes |
| Storage (older Android) | Access media according to OS version |
Permissions are requested as needed and can be turned off in system settings.
4. Purposes of Use
We use related information only to:
- Provide file sharing, migration, similar photos, QR scanning, and related features;
- Complete purchase validation, credit deduction, and entitlement restore;
- Analyze usage and diagnose crashes to improve the product;
- Comply with applicable law and respond to lawful requests;
- Other purposes after obtaining your valid consent.
We do not sell your personal information.
5. LAN Visibility to Others
5.1 File sharing: After the HTTP server starts, LAN users with the address and PIN (or a tokenized link / QR code) may browse or transfer sandbox files. Use trusted networks and stop the service when finished.
5.2 Migration: Selected data is transferred over the LAN between sender and receiver. Confirm that the peer device is trusted.
5.3 QR codes: Migration QR codes may include IP, port, and PIN; anyone who can scan the code may attempt to connect.
5.4 The web management page runs on your device; its copy follows the App language setting.
6. Retention
6.1 Local business data is retained until you delete it, uninstall the App, or clear app data.
6.2 Retention by Firebase, RevenueCat, and the app stores follows their policies and our console configuration.
6.3 We do not keep long-term copies of your contacts, photos, SMS, or sandbox file contents in our own business databases.
7. Sharing and Disclosure
7.1 To provide the Service, we may disclose necessary information to processors such as Apple / Google (distribution and payment), RevenueCat (purchase entitlements), and Google Firebase (analytics and crashes).
7.2 We may disclose information when required by law or lawful process.
7.3 In a merger, acquisition, or asset transfer, related information may be transferred; we will require the successor to continue protection or obtain authorization as required by law.
8. International Transfers
Because we use Firebase, RevenueCat, and global app-store infrastructure, related data may be transferred to and stored outside your country / region. Where reasonable, we rely on processors’ contractual terms, Standard Contractual Clauses, or other lawful transfer mechanisms as actually used by those parties.
9. Children
The App is not directed to children under 13 (or a higher age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect children’s personal information for marketing. If a parent or guardian believes a child provided personal information to us, contact us so we can delete it where it is within our control.
10. Your Rights
Depending on applicable law where you live (for example access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, and portability in the EEA/UK; know, delete, and opt out of sale / share in California and similar laws — we do not sell personal information), you may have corresponding rights.
You can usually:
- View or delete task records, sandbox files, and similar data in the App;
- Revoke permissions in system settings;
- Uninstall and clear app data;
- Limit analytics identifiers via system or store settings;
- Contact Apple / Google about store purchase issues.
To make a request about data we control, email us using the address below. After verifying your identity, we will respond within the period required by applicable law (we aim to reply within 30 days, or sooner if the law requires).
If you are in the EEA/UK, you may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
11. Security
We take reasonable measures to protect local storage and transfers (for example PIN / token auth, secure credit storage, and least-necessary permissions). No network environment is perfectly secure; please also protect your device and PINs.
12. Policy Updates
We may update this policy and publish changes via in-app “About”, this privacy policy page, or store metadata, with an updated effective date. For material changes, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent as required by law.
