Privacy Policy
Last Updated: October 3, 2026
HifyShare respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how the HifyShare Android application handles information, permissions, files, and network connections.
By using HifyShare, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. About HifyShare
HifyShare is a file transfer and sharing application that allows users to transfer files between Android devices and computers using supported local network connection methods.
Depending on the features you use, HifyShare may support:
- HTTP/Web file transfer
- HTTPS/Web file transfer
- Web/Dev Server
- FTP Server
- WebDAV
- Wi-Fi Direct
- Android-to-PC file transfer
- PC-to-Android file transfer
- Local Wi-Fi and hotspot connections
2. Information HifyShare Collects
HifyShare is designed to operate primarily with information provided or selected by the user.
The application may access:
- Files and folders that you explicitly select for transfer
- Storage locations selected by you
- Local network information required to establish a connection
- Device/network information required for file-transfer functionality
HifyShare does not intentionally collect personal information such as your name, phone number, contacts, messages, or passwords unless a future feature specifically requires such information and this Privacy Policy is updated accordingly.
3. Files and Storage
HifyShare may request storage or file access permissions to provide file-transfer functionality.
Files are accessed only to perform functions requested by the user, such as:
- Selecting files for transfer
- Sending files to another device
- Receiving files from another device
- Browsing supported storage locations
- Creating folders when required by the application
- Renaming, deleting, or managing files when the user requests these actions
HifyShare does not intentionally upload your personal files to the developer's servers.
4. Local Network Connections
HifyShare may create or use local network connections such as Wi-Fi, hotspot, Wi-Fi Direct, HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, or WebDAV to transfer files between devices.
When a local server is started, your Android device may act as a server that can be accessed by another device on the same supported network.
Files transferred through these connections are intended to remain between the devices involved in the transfer.
You should only share the displayed connection address or QR code with people you trust.
5. Wi-Fi Direct
When Wi-Fi Direct functionality is used, HifyShare may use Android's Wi-Fi Direct and related networking capabilities to discover nearby compatible devices and establish a direct connection.
HifyShare uses these capabilities only to provide the file-transfer feature.
6. Camera Permission
If HifyShare provides a QR-code scanning feature, the application may request camera permission.
The camera is used to scan QR codes for connection or file-transfer purposes.
HifyShare does not intentionally store or upload camera images or videos.
7. Internet Access
HifyShare may require network access to provide file-transfer and related functionality.
Network access may also be used by third-party advertising or analytics services, if those services are included in the version of HifyShare you are using.
8. Advertising
HifyShare may display advertisements provided by third-party advertising services.
These advertising providers may collect or process certain information, such as advertising identifiers, device information, approximate location, diagnostics, or interaction information, according to their own privacy policies and applicable laws.
Users should review the privacy policies of the advertising providers used in the current version of HifyShare.
9. Third-Party Services
HifyShare may use third-party services for purposes such as:
- Advertising
- Crash reporting
- Analytics
- Application performance monitoring
If third-party services are used, those providers may process information according to their own privacy policies.
HifyShare does not sell your personal files to third parties.
10. Data Security
HifyShare is designed to transfer files through supported device-to-device or local-network connections.
However, no electronic communication method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Users should:
- Use trusted networks
- Avoid sharing connection URLs with unknown people
- Stop the HifyShare server after completing a transfer
- Avoid transferring confidential files over untrusted networks
11. Data Retention
HifyShare does not intentionally retain copies of files transferred through the application on developer-controlled servers.
Files generally remain on the user's device or the destination device according to the user's actions and Android storage settings.
Third-party services used by the application may retain information according to their own policies.
12. Children's Privacy
HifyShare is not specifically designed to collect personal information from children.
HifyShare does not intentionally collect children's personal information.
If you believe that personal information has been provided to HifyShare unintentionally, please contact us so that the matter can be reviewed.
13. Your Choices
You can control HifyShare's access to certain device features through Android's permission settings.
You may also:
- Stop a running file-transfer server
- Disconnect devices
- Delete transferred files
- Revoke application permissions
- Uninstall HifyShare
Some features may not work correctly if the permissions required for those features are denied.
14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when HifyShare's features, services, or legal requirements change.
Any updated Privacy Policy will be published on this page with a new Last Updated date.
We recommend checking this page periodically for updates.
