SwipeDocs Privacy Policy
SwipeDocs is an Android app for finding and organizing documents stored on your device, such as PDF, Word, Hangul, Excel, PowerPoint, text, HTML, ZIP, and APK files. This policy explains how the app handles information and the choices available to you.
1. Files and On-Device Information
With the all-files access you grant in Android settings, SwipeDocs scans shared storage to find documents. It reads file names, folders, sizes, modified dates, and, to show previews, the first page or text of a file. It also computes checksums of local files to find identical copies. All of this is processed on your device. Your files and their contents are not uploaded to company servers.
The library, folder exclusions, keep and delete progress, statistics, settings, and preview cache are stored in the app's storage on your device. If you turn on the trash, deleted files are moved to a folder inside the app's own storage (up to 1 GB) so that you can restore them. The current version does not offer account registration, sign-in, or cloud synchronization, and app data backup is turned off.
For APK files, the app checks which launcher apps are installed to compare versions. It does not collect or transmit a list of your installed apps.
2. Advertising and Payment Services
SwipeDocs uses Google AdMob to serve interstitial ads. The Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect and transmit your IP address (which may be used to estimate your approximate location), advertising and app usage information, diagnostics, and device identifiers such as your advertising ID to serve ads, analyze usage, and prevent abuse. This information is encrypted in transit and handled under Google's policies. In regions such as the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, the app asks for your consent through Google's User Messaging Platform before starting the ads SDK, and you can change your choice later in the app's settings. Users with SwipeDocs Pro do not see ads and the ads SDK is not started.
Subscriptions and one-time purchases are processed by Google Play. The app uses purchase status and purchase tokens to provide Pro features and restore purchases. The company does not directly collect payment card numbers or other payment method details.

3. Retention and Deletion
App data on your device is retained for as long as needed to provide the app's features. It is removed, including the trash folder, when you clear the app's storage in Android settings or uninstall the app. Files that you have not deleted in the app stay in your storage. Google's retention and deletion of advertising and payment information are governed by Google's policies and applicable laws.
If you contact us by email, we use your reply address and message to respond and delete them after handling your inquiry. We retain information for longer only when required by law.
4. Your Choices and Rights
You can revoke all-files access in Android settings at any time. Revoking it stops automatic scanning, and you can still pick individual files. You can manage your advertising ID in Android's advertising privacy settings. For privacy questions or requests to access, correct, or delete your information, contact us at the email below.
