Privacy Policy

Last Updated:

This Privacy Policy describes how the Linux Server App ("we", "our", or "the App") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our mobile application.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

The App allows you to:

• Upload files and content to your local server
• Create social media posts and chat messages
• Manage GitHub repositories and Node.js applications

All data you create, upload, or manage is stored locally on your device. We do not collect, transmit, or store your personal data on external servers.

1.2 Automatically Collected Information

• Device Information: The App may access your device's network information (local IP address) to enable server functionality.
• Storage Access: The App requires storage permissions to save and manage files you upload.
• Network Access: The App requires internet permission to function as a server and to fetch your public IP address (optional feature).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected solely to:

• Enable the server functionality on your device
• Store and serve files you upload
• Manage social media posts and chat messages locally
• Display your local and public IP addresses for server access

Important: All data processing occurs locally on your device. We do not transmit your data to external servers or third parties.

3. Data Storage and Security

All data created or uploaded through the App is stored locally on your device in the app's private storage directory. This includes:

• Uploaded files
• Social media posts and chat messages
• GitHub repository configurations
• Node.js application settings

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your local data. However, please note that:

• When you publish your server to the internet, files you choose to share become accessible to anyone with your server's URL
• You are responsible for securing your server and managing access to it
• We recommend using the server only on trusted networks or implementing proper security measures

4. Third-Party Services

The App may integrate with the following services:

• GitHub: If you choose to clone GitHub repositories, the App accesses GitHub's public API. This is done at your request and we do not store your GitHub credentials.
• Public IP Services: The App may query external services to determine your public IP address. This information is only used to display your server's public URL.

We do not share your personal information with third parties.

5. Permissions

The App requires the following permissions:

• INTERNET: Required to function as a server and access network resources
• ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Used to check network connectivity
• READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE / WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Required to save and manage uploaded files (on Android versions that require these permissions)
• FOREGROUND_SERVICE: Required to run the server in the background
• POST_NOTIFICATIONS: Used to show server status notifications (Android 13+)

6. Children's Privacy

Our App is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access all data stored by the App (stored locally on your device)
• Delete any files or content you have created through the App
• Uninstall the App, which will remove all locally stored data
• Control server access by starting or stopping the server

8. Data Deletion

You can delete your data at any time by:

• Using the file management features within the App
• Uninstalling the App, which removes all app data from your device

Since all data is stored locally, uninstalling the App will permanently delete all associated data.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.

10. Server Security Notice

Important Security Information:

• When you run the server and publish it to the internet, anyone with your server's URL can access it
• The App does not include built-in authentication or encryption
• Do not store sensitive personal information on the server
• Use the server only on trusted networks or implement additional security measures
• You are solely responsible for securing and managing access to your server
