DocsPers for Android Privacy Policy

Encrypted before they are saved. Each file is encrypted on your phone with AES-256 before it is stored. Your file names, notes and folders are kept in a separate encrypted index. Only the file size and the date added are readable without the key.

The key stays on your phone. The encryption key is random and is protected by a key held in the Android Keystore (secure hardware on most phones), which cannot be copied out of the phone. The developer cannot read it.

Not copied to the cloud automatically. DocsPers switches off Android's automatic cloud backup and device-to-device transfer for its data, because the key could not travel with it. Your files live only on this phone unless you make an encrypted backup (below).

If you uninstall DocsPers, reset your phone, or lose it, the key is gone and the files cannot be opened by anyone, including the developer. Keep an encrypted backup and remember its password.

On your device only. Files are stored in the app's private storage, which other apps cannot read.

Nothing is sent to the developer or to any other server. DocsPers does not declare the internet permission and contains no analytics, advertising, or third-party software that collects data.

Lock: you can require your fingerprint, face or screen lock (PIN, pattern or password) to open DocsPers. It is on by default. Your fingerprint, face and screen lock data stay inside Android: DocsPers is only told whether the check passed. You choose how long the app waits in the background before it locks again, or you can turn the lock off in Settings after unlocking.

Block screenshots and screen recording: on by default. When on, Android shows a black screen if anyone tries to capture DocsPers. You can turn it off in Settings. The picture shown in the recent-apps list is always hidden.

The file is encrypted on your phone before it is saved, using a key made from your password. Only your password can open it.

A lost password cannot be recovered. Without it, nobody can open the backup, including the developer.

You decide where it goes: your phone's storage, Google Drive, a USB drive or another place you pick in Android's file picker. DocsPers does not upload it anywhere itself, and the developer never receives it.

Restoring adds files that are missing and never changes or removes files that are already in the app.

Copies of the backup file that you save elsewhere are yours to keep or delete.

Biometric / screen lock (USE_BIOMETRIC, USE_FINGERPRINT): to unlock the app. These are ordinary permissions Android grants without a prompt.

Photos and Files: DocsPers does not ask for access to your whole photo library or storage. It only receives the pictures, videos and files you pick yourself in Android's pickers.

No internet, location, contacts, camera or microphone permissions.

Individual files: delete them in the app.

Everything: uninstall DocsPers or use Settings → Apps → DocsPers → Storage → Clear storage. This removes the vault and its key.

Backup files you saved elsewhere: delete them where you saved them.
