Privacy Policy

At Smart Utils Dev Team, we take your privacy extremely seriously. This Privacy Policy describes how HideU ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our Calculator Lock application.

1. Information We Collect

HideU is designed to be a local privacy vault. We do not transfer your personal media files (photos, videos, audios) to our servers. All your hidden files are encrypted and stored locally on your device's storage.

• Local Storage: We require access to your device's file system to encrypt and hide your chosen media.
• Usage Data: We may collect anonymous analytics about how the app is used (e.g., feature frequency) to improve user experience.
• Device Information: We may collect basic device info like model and OS version for troubleshooting purposes.

2. How We Use Information

The information we collect is used solely for the following purposes:

• To provide the core functionality of hiding and protecting your files.
• To facilitate local backup and cloud sync services (if explicitly enabled by you).
• To provide customer support and respond to your inquiries.
• To analyze and improve the performance of our application.

3. Cookies and Tracking

HideU does not use cookies for tracking purposes within the vault. However, the private browser feature may temporarily store session cookies on your device to ensure website functionality, which are cleared upon closing the browser session.

4. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party tools like Google Analytics for Firebase to monitor app performance. These services have their own privacy policies regarding how they handle anonymous usage data.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard encryption protocols to protect your files. However, please note that the security of your files also depends on the strength of your chosen digital PIN. We are not responsible for data loss caused by forgotten passwords or unauthorized access to your device.

6. Your Rights

You have full control over your data. You can export your hidden files back to the public gallery at any time. If you choose to delete the application, all locally stored hidden files will be permanently deleted unless you have backed them up to our secure cloud service.
