FileDeep Manager Privacy Policy
Effective Date: October 23, 2025
Introduction
Welcome to our FileDeep Manager app (hereinafter referred to as the "App"). We understand the importance of your personal information and are committed to implementing industry-proven security standards to protect it. This Privacy Policy clearly explains how we collect, use, store, protect, and, in some cases, share your information to provide you with file management and related services.
Please carefully read and fully understand this policy in its entirety before using this App. If you disagree with any part of this policy, please do not install or immediately cease using this App. Your continued use of this App constitutes your consent to the processing of your information in accordance with this Policy.
Information We Collect
We collect information based on the "minimum necessary" principle to ensure the operation of core functions.
Information Necessary for Core File Management Functionality
Storage Permission: This is the most core permission of this App. To allow you to browse, move, copy, delete, rename, compress, share files on your device, and create new folders, this App requires access to your device's storage. We solemnly promise that all operations on your files are performed locally on your device. We do not collect, upload, or store any of your private files (such as documents, images, and videos) on our servers.
Device Basic Information and Log Information: To ensure the secure and stable operation of the app, we may collect your device model, operating system version, unique device identifier, and app crash information. This information helps us diagnose problems and optimize performance, but cannot be used to personally identify you.
Permissions Requested for Specific Functionality
Access App Usage: With your authorization, this app will access your device's app usage statistics through the system-provided interface. This feature is primarily used to analyze device storage usage distribution. We do not use this permission to monitor your specific operations within other apps. The collected statistics are only used for visualization and management within this app and will not be uploaded or used to personally identify you.
Change System Settings: This permission is used to support in-app personalization features, such as setting an audio file as the system ringtone or an image as wallpaper or lock screen. This allows you to customize your device's sounds and display interface to your personal preferences, enhancing your user experience.
Allow installation of apps from unknown sources: This permission is required when you use this app to install an existing application package (APK file) on your device. We only call the system installation API and do not perform installation operations ourselves, nor do we record or upload information about the packages you install. Please be aware that installing apps from unknown sources carries security risks, so proceed with caution.
How We Use Information
We strictly adhere to this Privacy Policy and applicable laws and regulations and use the information we collect for the following purposes. If we use your information for any other purpose not specified in this policy, or if we use information collected for a specific purpose for any other purpose, we will obtain your prior consent.
Provision and Operation of Core Functional Services
Use your authorized storage permissions to enable core operations such as browsing, managing, editing, and sharing files locally on your device.
Use app usage data to provide you with a view of your app's storage space.
Service Optimization and Experience Enhancement
By analyzing anonymous, non-personally identifiable feature usage frequency, performance data, and crash reports, we can diagnose service issues, optimize interaction design, and develop new features to continuously improve and enhance our existing services.
Security and Compliance Assurance
We use basic device information and other information for security prevention and anti-fraud monitoring to ensure system and operational security when you use our services.
We use this information to review and maintain the compliance of our services and comply with applicable laws and regulations.
Exceptions to Obtaining Authorization and Consent
You fully understand and agree that, in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, we do not need to obtain your authorization and consent to process your personal information in the following circumstances:
Related to fulfilling our obligations under laws and regulations;
Directly related to national security and national defense security;
Directly related to public safety, public health, and major public interests;
Directly related to criminal investigations, prosecutions, trials, and enforcement of judgments;
To protect your or other individuals' life, property, and other major legitimate rights and interests, but obtaining your consent is difficult;
The personal information in question is disclosed to the public by you;
Personal information is collected from lawfully disclosed information, such as legitimate news reports or government information disclosure channels;
Other circumstances specified by laws and regulations.
Permission Management and Ad Preferences
You always have full control over your personal information and device permissions. We are committed to ensuring that you can exercise these rights.
Self-management of Permissions
You can grant or revoke the permissions this app requires at any time through your device's settings. This path is typically: Settings > Apps > FileDeep Manager > Permissions.
For example, if you don't want this app to access your storage, you can turn off the "Storage" permission. However, please note that turning off core permissions will disable related features (such as file browsing and management).
Similarly, you can revoke permissions such as "Access app usage," "Change system settings," or "Install apps from unknown sources" at any time.
Opt-out of Personalized Ads
To support the free operation of our apps, we may work with third-party advertising partners to display ads in our apps. These partners may use cached data (such as advertising identifiers) from multiple apps and websites to serve you personalized ads that are more relevant to your interests.
If you do not want to receive personalized ads, you have the following opt-out options:
Globally opt-out through your device's system settings: You can opt out of personalized ads in Settings > Google > Ads. This will reset your advertising identifier and notify all apps to stop serving ads based on your interests. This is a global setting that affects advertising across all apps on your device.
Please understand that opting out of personalized advertising does not mean you will no longer see ads, but rather that the ads you do see will be less relevant to your immediate interests.
Storage of Information
Storage Location: We process and store the information we collect from you on secure servers. To provide you with the services of this app, your information may be stored in the countries where we operate or in other jurisdictions where we, our affiliates, or service providers maintain facilities. This means that your personal information may be transferred, stored, or processed outside of your country.
Storage Period: We will retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (for example, to comply with applicable laws and regulations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements). Upon expiration of the retention period, we will securely delete or anonymize your personal information.
Cross-border Transfer: When your personal information is transferred between servers in different countries, we will implement appropriate security safeguards (for example, using approved standard contractual clauses) to ensure that the transfer is adequately protected in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
Information Security
We are committed to implementing industry-standard security measures to protect your information. We use encryption, access controls, and other security measures to prevent unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, please note that no method of transmitting or storing information over the internet can guarantee 100% security. You must also properly protect your device information and work together to maintain information security.
Information Sharing
To ensure the functionality of our app and optimize our services, we will share necessary personal information with third parties in the following circumstances, subject to strict compliance with laws and regulations:
Third-party service providers required to implement specific features:
Data analytics providers: To analyze app performance, track crashes, and understand feature usage, we will share de-identified device information (such as device model and operating system version) and anonymized usage data with data analytics providers (such as Google Firebase).
Third-party advertising providers: To support the free operation of our app, we may share device identifiers (such as advertising IDs) and coarse location information (such as country codes) with advertising providers (such as Google AdMob) to deliver personalized ads.
Other Legal Sharing Circumstances:
With your explicit consent;
As required by laws and regulations, for litigation dispute resolution, or in accordance with legal requirements of administrative or judicial authorities;
Sharing is necessary to protect the interests, property, or safety of us, our affiliates or partners, you, other users, or the general public.
Information Transfer
We will not transfer your personal information to any company, organization, or individual, except in the following circumstances:
In the event of a merger, acquisition, asset transfer, or similar transaction involving the transfer of personal information, we will require the new company or organization holding your personal information to continue to be bound by this Privacy Policy. Otherwise, we will require the new company or organization to obtain your consent again.
Other transfers made with your explicit consent.
Public Disclosure
In principle, we will not publicly disclose collected personal information, except in the following circumstances:
Based on your active choice or with your explicit consent;
As required by laws and regulations, for litigation and dispute resolution, or in accordance with the lawful requirements of administrative or judicial authorities;
When disclosure is necessary to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of us, our users, partners, or other relevant parties (such as detecting and preventing fraud), within the scope permitted by laws and regulations.
If public disclosure is necessary for business development, we will inform you of the purpose of the disclosure, the type of information disclosed, and any sensitive information that may be involved, and obtain your separate express consent.
Your Rights
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection laws, if you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the following rights regarding your personal information. You can exercise these rights by contacting us at the end of this policy:
Right of Access: You have the right to obtain information about whether we are processing your personal information, as well as access to that information and details of the processing.
Right of Correction: You have the right to request the correction of inaccurate personal information and to have incomplete personal information completed.
Right to erasure (right to be forgotten): You have the right to request the erasure of your personal information under certain circumstances (for example, if the personal information is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or if you withdraw your consent and there is no other lawful basis for processing).
Right to restriction of processing: You have the right to request a temporary restriction on our use of your personal information under certain circumstances (for example, if you contest the accuracy of the personal information, or if the processing is unlawful but you object to its erasure).
Right to data portability: You have the right to receive personal information you actively provide based on consent or for performance of a contract in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to have it transmitted to another controller.
Right to object:
You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests (such as statistical profiling by data analytics providers) based on your particular situation.
You have the right to object to processing of your personal information for direct marketing purposes (including personalized advertising) at any time. You can opt out of personalized advertising through your device settings or in-app options.
Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on your consent (e.g., through consent), you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. You can manage or withdraw your permissions at any time through your device settings. For security reasons, we may verify your identity before processing your request. If you believe our processing violates data protection laws, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in your member state.
Protection of Minors
Our services are not intended for minors under the age of 16 (or the age of majority as determined by the laws of your country/region). We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a minor, we will delete it immediately upon discovery. We encourage parents and guardians to provide guidance to minors regarding their use of our services. If you discover that your child has provided us with personal information without their consent, please contact us using the contact information listed in this policy.
Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our service practices or legal requirements. Your continued use of our services after such changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy. We encourage you to review this policy regularly for updates.
Please confirm that you have fully read, understood, and agreed to all of the above terms before using this app. If you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected].
