Magic Files • Privacy Policy

PrivacyPolicy

Welcome to Magic Files - Compress, Convert, Scan and more. Your privacy is our top priority. Unlike many other file processing applications, Magic Files is designed to work locally on your device. This means your files never leave your phone, and we do not have access to your personal data.

Your personal files remain fully under your control at all times.

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Magic Files ("we," "our," or "the App") handles your information. By using the App, you agree to the terms outlined here. Our core philosophy is simple: Your files are your business.

2. Local-First Processing (The “Magic” USP)

Magic Files performs all operations—including compression, conversion, scanning, and editing—locally on your hardware using built-in C/C++ libraries (JNI). No Cloud Uploads: We do not use third-party APIs or cloud services to process your files. Offline Functionality: The app does not require an internet connection to perform its core file operations. No File Caps: Because processing is local, there are no file size limits imposed by server bandwidth.

3. Permissions and Data Usage

To provide our “Magic” features, the application requires specific device permissions strictly related to functionality and user experience.

Permission
Purpose
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
To save, copy, and export processed files such as compressed PDFs or converted images to public folders like Downloads or Documents.
CAMERA
To allow users to capture physical documents for the “Scan to PDF” feature. Captured images are processed instantly and locally.
FOREGROUND_SERVICE
To ensure long-running tasks such as high-quality video compression complete successfully even if the device is locked or the user switches apps.
POST_NOTIFICATIONS
To notify users about ongoing file operations and alert them when processing is complete.
INTERNET
Strictly used for checking app updates through Google Play services to ensure users receive the latest features and security improvements.

4. Data Collection and Third-Party Services

While we do not see your files, we use a few industry-standard tools to ensure the app runs smoothly. Firebase Analytics & Crashlytics collect anonymous, non-identifiable technical data such as crash logs, device models, and feature usage patterns to help improve app stability and performance. No personal file data is ever sent to Firebase. Google Play Update API is used only to notify users when newer versions of the app are available.

5. Data Retention and Security

Since all file operations occur locally, Magic Files does not store your files on any external servers. Your processed files remain entirely on your device until you choose to delete them. By keeping data local, Magic Files eliminates many common server-side privacy risks such as man-in-the-middle attacks and cloud storage breaches.

6. Children’s Privacy

Magic Files does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information. The application is designed to be safe for all audiences, including students and professionals.

7. Future Monetization

Magic Files is currently free and ad-free. If advertisements or monetization services such as Google AdMob are introduced in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated to clearly explain how those services may handle non-personal identifiers for ad delivery.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any changes will be reflected on this page along with an updated “Last Updated” date.
