Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 21, 2026 · Effective date: August 21, 2026

Quick Share ("we", "our", "the app") lets you send and receive files directly between Android devices over a local WiFi connection, using your own Google account to sign in. This Privacy Policy explains in detail what information the app accesses, why, how it's stored and protected, and what choices and rights you have.

1. Information We Collect

• Google Account info: When you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile photo URL.
• Device permission status: The app checks locally whether WiFi and Location are turned on — this status is not sent anywhere, it's only used to guide you through enabling the right settings.
• App preferences: Basic in-app settings are stored locally on your device.

We do not collect payment/financial information, precise GPS location, contacts, call logs, SMS, or biometric data. We do not read the contents, names, or metadata of the files you transfer — that data never reaches our servers.

2. Permissions We Request

• Location — required by Android to create or join a WiFi hotspot for transfers. We do not access or store your actual GPS coordinates.
• Camera — used only to scan the QR code shown by the sending device. We do not store any photo or video from the camera.
• WiFi state / Nearby devices — used to create and join the temporary hotspot used for transferring files.
• Storage (Downloads folder) — used to save files you choose to receive into your device's Downloads folder.

You can review or revoke Quick Share's access to your Google account anytime from your Google Account — Third-party access settings.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To let you sign in and identify your account
• To display your name and profile photo inside the app
• To guide you through enabling WiFi/Location so a transfer can start

We do not use your data for advertising, we do not build advertising profiles, and we do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

4. Where Your Data Is Stored

File transfers happen directly between two devices over a local WiFi connection created by the app. Files you send or receive are never uploaded to, stored on, or processed by any server operated by us.

Account information — your name, email address, and profile photo reference — is stored using Firebase Authentication (Google Cloud), restricted to your own signed-in account only.

5. Sharing of Information

We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes. Information may be shared only:

• With Google, as necessary to provide Google Sign-In / Firebase Authentication functionality
• If required by law, regulation, or valid legal process
• As part of a business transfer (e.g., merger or acquisition), with notice provided to you

6. Data Retention & Deletion

We retain your account information for as long as you keep your Quick Share account active. You can sign out of the app anytime from the Profile screen. To request full deletion of your account data, email us below and we will process your request within a reasonable timeframe.

7. Your Rights & Choices

• Access the account data we hold about you
• Delete your account data by contacting us
• Withdraw consent anytime by signing out and revoking the app's access from your Google Account

8. Security

• All network communication with Google's services uses HTTPS/TLS encryption
• We never see or store your Google password — authentication is handled entirely by Google Sign-In
• File transfers occur over a direct, local WiFi link between your two devices, never through our servers

9. Children's Privacy

Quick Share is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

10. Third-Party Services

The app integrates with Google Sign-In and Firebase Authentication. Use of these services is governed by Google's own Privacy Policy in addition to this one.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the app after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
