Who makes Quietfile

What stays on your iPhone
- Your files and their names: what you open, extract, scan or create. It’s saved in the app’s folder, which you can also see in the Files app.
- Text in scans and images: it’s recognized on your iPhone, with Apple’s own tools.
- Passwords you choose to remember: they’re kept in this iPhone’s keychain, out of iCloud. Settings › Forget Saved Passwords deletes them. iOS can keep keychain items after an app is deleted, so use that button first if you want them gone.
- Settings and counters: for example, how many operations you’ve finished, to space out ads and review requests.
- Face ID and Touch ID: iOS handles them. Quietfile only learns whether you were recognized.
- Camera and photos: the camera is only used to scan, when you choose to. Quietfile only sees the photos you pick, and only saves to your photo library when you ask it to.
None of this reaches us: Quietfile has no server to send it to.
What is sent, and to whom
Google, only in the free version, to show ads. Quietfile uses Google AdMob. Google’s code in the app sends Google your IP address, which gives away your approximate location, an identifier for this device, how you interact with the ads and the app, and crash and performance data. Ads aren’t personalized, and Quietfile doesn’t ask to track you across apps. Where the law requires it, you’re asked for your consent first, with Google’s form, and you can change your choice in Settings › Ad Privacy Choices. How Google uses this data.
With Quietfile Pro there are no ads, and Google’s code doesn’t start when you open Quietfile, so it makes no connections of its own.
Apple, for purchases and, if you allow it, analytics. Purchases go through the App Store: Quietfile never sees your payment details. If you choose to share analytics with app developers in your iPhone’s settings, Apple gives us anonymous usage statistics and crash reports.
What we don’t do
We don’t sell data, build profiles, or use your files for anything other than what you ask. Quietfile has no analytics or tracking code of its own.
Children
Quietfile isn’t directed at children under 13.
Your choices
We don’t keep personal data about you, so there’s nothing on a server for us to show you, correct or delete. To delete what’s on your iPhone, delete the files in the app, or delete the app after forgetting your saved passwords. For what Google receives, use Settings › Ad Privacy Choices where it’s available, or Google’s controls.
Changes
If this policy changes, this page and its date will change too, and important changes will also be mentioned in the App Store release notes.
