Privacy Policy
WiFi File Share
Effective date: 8 October 2026
Developer: Logic Path Systems
In short: WiFi File Share moves files, text and links directly between your Android phone and a computer or another phone on the same local network. Your files and the text you send never pass through our servers or anyone else's. The app shows ads (Google AdMob) and uses Google Firebase Analytics for basic usage statistics; those services collect some device and usage data, described below. No account is needed.
1. What the app does
The app runs a small web server on your phone. While sharing is on, a web browser on a device connected to the same WiFi network, or to your phone's hotspot, can open the address shown in the app.
- Folder sharing: the browser can browse, download, upload, preview, rename, move and delete files in the one folder you chose.
- Quick Send: the browser sees only the files you picked in the app or shared to it from another app, and can only download them.
- Text & links: short text you type or share is shown on the other device, and text sent from the browser appears on the phone.
All of this happens directly between your devices over your local network.
2. Information collected by third-party services
We, the developer, do not receive your files, file names, file contents or the text you send.
| Service | What it may collect | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Google AdMob (ads) | Advertising ID, IP address, device and app information, ad interactions | To show ads, limit how often they appear, measure them and prevent fraud |
| Google Firebase Analytics | App usage events (for example "sharing started", screens viewed), app instance identifiers, device model, operating system version, approximate location derived from the IP address | To understand which features are used and improve the app |
Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA and the UK) you are asked for consent before ads use your data, and you can change your choice at any time in the app under Settings → Ad privacy choices. These services work under Google's own policies: Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from apps that use its services.
3. Information processed only on your devices
| Information | Why it is used | Where it stays |
|---|---|---|
| Files in the folder you choose, or the files you pick for Quick Send | To transfer and preview them for the browser you connect | On your phone; copies go only to the device you connect |
| Text and links you send either way | To show them on the other device | In the phone's memory while sharing is on, then deleted |
| Your phone's local network address (for example 192.168.1.10) | To show the address and QR code the other device opens | On your phone and the connected browser |
| Device name (for example "Pixel 9") | Shown in the browser so you can see which phone you are connected to | Sent only to the connected browser on your local network |
| Connected devices' local network addresses | To count connected devices, list recent transfers and stop repeated wrong PIN attempts | In the phone's memory only; cleared when sharing stops |
| Settings: shared folder, PIN, port, read-only, background, auto-stop and theme options | To remember your choices between sessions | Stored privately on your phone |
4. Permissions
- Folder access (Storage Access Framework): you pick one folder with Android's system folder picker. The app can only access that folder, not the rest of your storage. Quick Send reads only the files you pick or share to the app. You can change or revoke access at any time.
- Network access: to run the local web server your other device connects to, and for ads and analytics, which use the internet.
- Notifications: used only to show the ongoing "Sharing files on your network" notification while sharing is on, with a button to stop it.
- Foreground service and wake lock: keep transfers running while the screen is off. They are active only while sharing is on, and you can turn this off in Settings.
5. Security
A PIN is required by default, so other devices on the same network cannot open your files without it. After several wrong attempts, a device is temporarily blocked. Read-only mode lets the other device view and download files but not change or delete them.
Transfers use plain HTTP on your local network and are not encrypted. Only share on networks you trust, such as your home WiFi or your phone's own hotspot. Avoid public WiFi, and turn sharing off when you are done.
6. Sharing and sale of data
We do not sell your personal data. Data collected by AdMob and Firebase Analytics is shared with Google as described above. Your files and texts go only to the device that you choose to connect.
7. Data retention and deletion
We do not store your files or texts, so there is nothing of yours for us to delete. Your settings stay on your phone until you clear the app's data or uninstall the app. Transfer history, texts and connection information are kept in memory only and disappear when sharing stops or the app closes.
You can reset your advertising ID in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads. For questions about analytics data, contact us at the address below.
8. Children
The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.
9. Changes to this policy
If we change how the app handles information, we will update this page and change the effective date above.
