FileProps Privacy Policy

Privacy by Design Architecture

The Application operates under the core principle of privacy by design:

• Strictly Local Operations: All reading, extraction, display, and modification of file metadata (including EXIF tags, document properties, and file attributes) is performed strictly locally on your device.
• Zero External Servers: The Application does not operate any external servers, does not transmit any information outside your device, and does not sell or share files or personal data with third parties.

Embedded Geolocation Tags & User Privacy

Certain image or video files contain embedded GPS coordinates within their EXIF metadata.

• Inspection & Removal: The Application accesses these coordinates solely to display them to you and allow you to edit or remove them upon your request.
• No Real-Time Tracking: The Application does not track your real-time physical location and does not use background geolocation services to trace your device.
• Zero Remote Transmission: The coordinates you view or edit are never transmitted to any external server.

Native Android Storage Mechanisms

To deliver its core features, the Application requires access to the files you select:

• Scoped System Mechanisms: It uses Android's native storage mechanisms (such as the Storage Access Framework or standard photo/file access permissions) exclusively to open the files you select and save changes upon your confirmation.
• Strictly User-Initiated Scope: Access is strictly limited to the reading and editing actions you initiate. The Application does not index, scan, or transmit the contents of your documents or images.

Google Play Billing

If you choose to make a donation or in-app purchase, the transaction is processed directly through Google Play in accordance with Google's terms of service and privacy policy. The Application does not collect, process, or store your credit card details, banking credentials, or financial information.

No Analytics or Advertisements

The Application contains no third-party tracking tools, advertising SDKs, or intrusive analytics platforms. We do not build user behavioral profiles or monetize your personal information.

Data Minimization & Complete User Control

Because the Application does not collect, store, or transmit personal data to external servers, we do not retain your data in remote databases. You retain complete control over your files:

• Right to Erasure & Rectification: You can modify or strip metadata from your files directly within the Application.
• Instant Local Deletion: Uninstalling the Application deletes all locally stored application preferences and cache maintained by the Android operating system.
