Privacy Policy

App: File Manager  ·  Package: filemanager.ra

Last updated: May 5, 2026

1. Overview

File Manager (filemanager.ra) is an Android application that lets you browse, view, share, organize, compress and extract files stored on your device. We respect your privacy. The app is designed to work locally on your device; we do not collect, transmit, or sell your personal files or browsing history.

2. Data we access (on your device)

To provide its core features, the app accesses the following on your device only:

• Files and media (photos, videos, audio, documents, archives, APKs and others) on internal storage and SD cards.
• File metadata (name, size, date, type, path) shown inside the app.
• Folder structure for the built-in folder browser.

All of this data stays on your device. It is never uploaded to our servers.

3. Permissions we request and why

• READ_MEDIA_IMAGES / READ_MEDIA_VIDEO / READ_MEDIA_AUDIO (Android 13+) — to list and open photos, videos, and audio.
• READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (Android 12 and older) — to list and open files on shared storage.
• MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (Android 11+) — to provide a complete file manager experience: scanning all folders, copying/moving/deleting/renaming files, and extracting/compressing archives. Requested with a clear in-app prompt and revocable any time from system settings.
• POST_NOTIFICATIONS (Android 13+) — only to show progress notifications during long operations.
• INTERNET / ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE — used only by Google AdMob to display in-app ads. The app itself does not perform network requests for your file content.

4. Advertising (Google AdMob)

The app shows ads via Google AdMob. AdMob may collect limited information (advertising identifier, approximate device info, ad interactions) to deliver and measure ads, governed by Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can reset or limit your advertising ID from Android system settings. No personal files are shared with AdMob.

5. What we do NOT do

• We do not upload your files to any server.
• We do not read or share the contents of your files.
• We do not sell or rent any data to third parties.
• We do not require account creation or sign-in.

6. Children's privacy

The app is intended for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13.

7. Your control

• You can revoke any permission anytime from Settings → Apps → File Manager → Permissions.
• Uninstalling the app removes all of its locally stored preferences (favorites, recent list).
• You can reset your AdMob advertising ID from Settings → Google → Ads.

8. Security

Because all file operations happen on your device, the security of your data depends on your device's security. We recommend keeping your Android system up to date and using a screen lock.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date will reflect the latest revision.
