Privacy Policy

1. Introduction & Overview

Welcome to File Recovery: Photo Video Recovery (the "Application"), designed and published by Trustinn under the platform brand bityapp ("we", "our", or "us").

We believe your personal photos, family videos, voice messages, and sensitive documents belong solely to you. This Privacy Policy details how we handle permissions, diagnostics, and data when you use our Android utility application.

2. Storage Permissions & Core Functionality

Due to modern Android sandboxing and Scoped Storage requirements, the Application requests specific runtime permissions to fulfill its sole declared utility—restoring misplaced or deleted files:

• MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (All Files Access — Android 11+ / API 30+): Allows the app to perform an exhaustive multi-directory file system scan across internal and SD card storage to locate deleted thumbnails, temporary app caches, and recoverable user files outside standard media folders.
• READ_MEDIA_IMAGES, READ_MEDIA_VIDEO, READ_MEDIA_AUDIO (Android 13+ / API 33+): Allows granular reading and previewing of media files for restoration on supported Android versions.
• READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE & WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (Android 10 and earlier): Permits the app to read storage paths and write restored files back into your device's /PhotoVideoRecovery folder.

You retain full control over these permissions and may modify or revoke them at any time in your device's Settings > Apps > File Recovery > Permissions.

3. Information We Collect & Process

The Application does not require user accounts, logins, passwords, contact phone numbers, or residential addresses.

A. Non-Personal Diagnostic & Device Information

To monitor app stability, resolve freezes, and prevent crashes, standard non-identifying technical data is processed via automated diagnostics:

• Device model, manufacturer, hardware specifications, and Android OS version.
• Performance metrics (such as crash stack traces, ANR reports, and system language).
• Network status (ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE) to optimize background resource loading.

B. Advertising Identifiers

To provide the application as a free utility, advertising and analytics services may process your Google Advertising ID (GAID / AAID) and IP address (strictly for generalized geographic region mapping to comply with regional advertising regulations). You can reset or delete your Advertising ID at any time via Android System Settings.

4. Third-Party Services, Advertising, and Mediation

The Application integrates with certified industry-standard third-party SDKs for application maintenance, stability, and monetization:

• Google Play Services: Essential for core app infrastructure, system bar integration, and security checks.
  Google Privacy Policy
• Google AdMob & Mediation Partners: Serves contextual or personalized banner, interstitial, and native advertisements.
  Google Ad Technologies & Privacy | Google Ads Settings Opt-Out
• Google Analytics for Firebase & Firebase Crashlytics: Provides anonymous operational statistics and automated crash reporting.
  Firebase Data & Privacy Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information or media files to any third-party brokers or data aggregators.

5. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Our services are strictly directed to a general audience and are not intended for children under 13 years of age (or under 16 in the European Economic Area). We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from children. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal contact information, please notify us at contact@bityapp.xyz so we can immediately purge such data.

6. Regional Rights (GDPR & CCPA/CPRA)

A. European Economic Area & UK (GDPR)

If you reside in the EEA or UK, you have rights to access, rectify, or erase diagnostic data collected by analytics partners. Where Google AdMob displays ads in Europe, you will be presented with a User Messaging Platform (UMP) consent form allowing you to freely accept or decline ad tracking.

B. California Residents (CCPA / CPRA)

California consumers have the right to request disclosure of personal data categories collected and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising. You can exercise this right directly on your device by visiting Settings > Google > Ads > Delete advertising ID.

7. Security & Data Retention

Because all photo, video, audio, and document scans occur exclusively on your physical smartphone and are never transmitted to our servers, we maintain zero external records of your personal media files. Data transmission between third-party SDKs and their servers is strictly encrypted using modern HTTPS/TLS protocols.
