Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 15, 2025

Privacy First Approach

ZapMyFiles is built with privacy as our core principle. Your files never leave your device, and you maintain complete control over what gets scanned and deleted.

1. Information We Do NOT Collect

ZapMyFiles is designed to respect your privacy completely. We do not collect, access, or transmit:

  • Your personal files or file contents
  • File names, paths, or metadata
  • Folder structures or directory information
  • Personal identification information
  • Email addresses or contact information
  • Payment or financial information
  • Location data or device identifiers

2. Information We Do Collect

To improve ZapMyFiles and provide better service, we collect minimal, anonymous usage analytics:

  • Application launch and usage frequency
  • Feature usage statistics (which buttons are clicked)
  • Performance metrics (scan speed, application responsiveness)
  • Error reports and crash logs (containing no personal data)
  • General system information (OS version, application version)

All analytics data is completely anonymous and cannot be traced back to individual users or specific files.

3. How Your Data Stays Private

Local Processing Only

All file scanning and duplicate detection happens entirely on your local device. No file data ever leaves your computer.

User-Controlled Access

You choose exactly which folders to scan. ZapMyFiles only accesses directories you explicitly select.

No Network Transmission

Your files and folder structures are never transmitted over the internet or stored on remote servers.

Secure Deletion

File deletions are performed using your system's secure deletion methods, with confirmation required for every action.

4. Third-Party Services

ZapMyFiles may use third-party services for:

  • Anonymous usage analytics and crash reporting
  • Application updates and distribution
  • Website hosting and content delivery

These services only receive anonymous, aggregated data and never have access to your personal files or information.

5. Data Retention

Since we don't collect personal data or file information, there is no personal data to retain. Anonymous usage analytics are retained for up to 24 months to help us improve the application, after which they are automatically deleted.

6. Your Rights and Control

You have complete control over your privacy when using ZapMyFiles:

  • Choose which folders to scan at any time
  • Review all files before deletion with our confirmation system
  • Uninstall the application at any time with no data retention
  • Opt out of analytics if supported by your platform

7. Security Measures

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect the minimal data we do collect. However, since your files never leave your device, your data security primarily depends on your own device security practices.

8. Changes to Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy. Continued use of ZapMyFiles after changes indicates acceptance of the updated policy.

9. Children's Privacy

ZapMyFiles does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13 years of age. Since we don't collect personal information from any users, this protection is built into our privacy-first design.
