Privacy Policy
mFileServer is an Android app that helps users run their device as a file sharing server. This Privacy Policy explains what information the app may access or process, why it is needed, and what control users have.
1. Information the App May Access on Your Device
mFileServer is designed to run on the user's device. The app may access or locally process the following information only to provide the file sharing features selected and controlled by the user:
- The folder selected by the user for sharing and information about files in that folder
- Server configuration values such as port, user ID, password, share name, and protocol selection
- Local network and connection status information required to run the server
- Foreground service and notification state needed to keep the server available
- Internal logs or runtime information used for troubleshooting and app stability
This information is generally controlled by the user on the user's own device and is not treated as data collected by the developer for a separate cloud service.
2. How the Information Is Used
- To share a user-selected folder through FTP, SFTP, or WebDAV
- To start, stop, restore, and maintain the file sharing server in the background
- To show server status and configuration information in the app
- To diagnose errors and improve reliability and performance
3. Permissions
The app may request the following permissions only for functionality related to the service it provides:
- Internet: to communicate with connected clients over the network
- All files access: to access the folder selected by the user for sharing
- Notifications: to show server status while the service is running
- Foreground service: to keep the server running in the background
- Boot completed: to restore server state after device restart if the user chooses that behavior
4. Data Storage and Transmission
App settings and service state are primarily stored on the user's device. Files remain in the storage location selected by the user.
When the user runs the server, files and related metadata may be transmitted to connected clients as part of the sharing feature explicitly initiated by the user.
5. Data Retention and Deletion
mFileServer does not require a developer-hosted user account. Server settings, service state, and related local app data are generally retained on the user's device until the user changes them, clears app data, or uninstalls the app.
Shared files remain under the user's control in the selected storage location unless the user changes or deletes them separately. Internal logs, if present, are kept locally for troubleshooting and may be removed when app data is cleared or the app is uninstalled.
6. Sharing with Third Parties
The developer does not sell user files or personal data. The app is not designed to send user files to a developer-operated cloud service for advertising, analytics resale, or data brokerage purposes.
Data may be transmitted only as part of the file sharing connection that the user explicitly enables between the device and recipient clients or devices chosen by the user.
7. Ads and Tracking
mFileServer does not include third-party advertising SDKs for personalized ads and is not intended to track users for advertising purposes.
8. User Choices and Deletion
- Users can stop the server at any time.
- Users can change or remove shared folders and server settings inside the app.
- Users can remove stored app settings by clearing app data or uninstalling the app.
mFileServer does not provide a developer-hosted account creation system, so there is no separate online account deletion workflow for this app at this time.
9. Children's Privacy
This app is a general-purpose file sharing tool and is not specifically directed to children. Parents or guardians are responsible for supervising device and network sharing use where appropriate.
10. Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated if app features, legal requirements, or distribution policies change. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated when material changes are made.
