Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 22, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how RecoverX ("we", "our", or "us") manages your information when you use our Android application. We are committed to processing your data transparently and in strict accordance with the Google Play User Data Policy.

1. Local-First Architecture (No Media Uploads)

RecoverX is fundamentally designed as a local-first utility. We strictly do not upload, transmit, or store your personal media (photos, videos, documents, or audio files) to any remote servers, backend databases, or cloud environments. All core functionalities—including media compression, duplicate identification, and the Secret Vault encryption—are executed entirely offline on your device processor.

2. Data We Do Not Collect

Because of our on-device processing model, we do not require, collect, or transmit the following information:

• User Accounts & Passwords: We do not have a user account system or backend identity layer.
• Media Contents: The actual bytes of your images and videos never leave your device.
• Phone Numbers or Contacts: We do not request or access your contact list.

3. Device Permissions & How They Are Used

To provide its core functionality, RecoverX requests specific Android permissions strictly limited to the features you utilize:

• Storage / Media Permissions: Required to scan your device for duplicates, large files, and to perform compression or deletion. We only access files you explicitly authorize, utilizing the Storage Access Framework (SAF) or MediaStore APIs where appropriate.

4. Third-Party Services & Analytics

While we do not collect your personal files, RecoverX utilizes trusted third-party services to ensure app stability and serve advertisements. These services may automatically collect device-specific identifiers (such as Advertising IDs) and generalized usage data:

• Google AdMob: We use Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob may collect and process device identifiers, IP addresses, and location data (if enabled by you on the OS level) to serve personalized or non-personalized ads. You can learn more about how Google uses this data by visiting the Google Privacy & Terms for Partners.

5. Secret Vault Disclaimers

Files moved to the "Secret Vault" within RecoverX are encrypted and stored within the application's isolated local storage space. Crucially: If you clear the app's internal data or uninstall RecoverX, any files stored in the Secret Vault will be permanently destroyed and cannot be recovered by us, as the encryption keys only exist locally on your device.

6. Your Rights & Data Deletion

As we do not host a remote backend infrastructure holding your personal data or user accounts, there is no remote profile for us to delete upon request. To permanently erase all usage data, preferences, and Secret Vault contents associated with RecoverX, you simply need to uninstall the application from your Android device.
