Introduction
Welcome to iConvert, a file conversion application developed by Cebo Mkhwanazi. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how we handle your data. This Privacy Policy explains how iConvert collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our app, in compliance with Google Play Store policies.
Information We Collect
iConvert collects the following types of data to provide its file conversion services:
- Files for Conversion: When you select files (e.g., documents, images, or media files) for conversion, iConvert accesses these files to upload them to our secure server for processing.
- Device Permissions: The app requires certain permissions to function, including:
- Internet Access: To upload files to our conversion server and download the converted files.
- Storage Access (WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE): To read files you select for conversion and save converted files to your device's Downloads folder or app-specific storage.
- Media Access (READ_MEDIA_IMAGES, READ_MEDIA_VIDEO, READ_MEDIA_AUDIO): On Android 13 and above, to access images, videos, or audio files for conversion purposes.
- Usage Data: The app may collect non-personal data about how you interact with it, such as the types of conversions performed, to improve our services.
We do not collect personal information such as your name, email address, or other identifiers unless you voluntarily provide them (e.g., when contacting us).
How We Use Your Information
The data collected by iConvert is used solely for the following purposes:
- File Conversion: To process the files you upload and deliver the converted files back to you.
- Storage: To save converted files to your device's designated storage location, such as the Downloads folder, based on granted permissions.
- Service Improvement: To analyze non-personal usage data to enhance app functionality and user experience.
Your files are processed securely and are not stored permanently on our servers. Once the conversion is complete and the file is delivered to you, it is deleted from our server.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not share, sell, or disclose your files or personal information to third parties, except as necessary to provide the conversion service (e.g., our secure server processes your files). We may disclose data only in the following cases:
- Legal Requirements: If required by law or to comply with legal processes.
- Service Providers: We use a secure cloud-based server to process file conversions, which is protected by industry-standard security measures.
Data Security
We take the security of your data seriously. iConvert uses secure protocols (HTTPS) for file uploads and downloads. Files are temporarily stored on our server during conversion and are deleted immediately after processing. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Choices and Rights
You have control over the permissions granted to iConvert:
- Permissions: You can manage permissions (e.g., storage and media access) through your device settings. Denying permissions may limit some app features, such as saving files to the Downloads folder.
- File Selection: You choose which files to upload for conversion. iConvert does not access files without your explicit selection.
- Data Deletion: Since we do not store your files or personal data permanently, no additional action is needed to delete your data from our servers.
Children's Privacy
iConvert is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with information, please contact us immediately.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The updated policy will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
