MediaRescue is an offline-first Android application designed to help users discover, search, browse, preview, and manage files across their device storage, including hidden, overlooked, and poorly indexed media. This Privacy Policy explains how MediaRescue handles information when you use the application and visit websites or services related to MediaRescue. We are committed to protecting your privacy and keeping your personal files on your device whenever possible.

MediaRescue does not require you to create an account or provide personal information to use its core file discovery features. The application may access files and folders on your device when you grant the required Android storage permissions. This access is necessary to scan, identify, search, browse, preview, and organize information about files stored on your device. MediaRescue may process information such as: File names and file paths File types and MIME types File sizes File locations File timestamps and related metadata Media information required to display or preview files This information is processed locally on your device as part of the application's core functionality. Your personal files and their contents are not uploaded to MediaRescue's servers as part of normal scanning and discovery. Optional Advanced Scanning uses Shizuku to access supported deeper Android storage locations such as Android/data and Android/obb. This feature is intended for local file discovery and does not require root access.

Information accessed by MediaRescue is used only to provide the application's features, including: Scanning accessible device storage Finding hidden and overlooked media Detecting files in unusual or deeply nested locations Searching files by name and other available information Organizing discovered files by type and folder Displaying file and media previews Identifying large files Providing Advanced Scanning where supported Improving application reliability and functionality MediaRescue does not use your personal files for advertising or sell your personal files or file information to third parties.

MediaRescue is designed to process file information locally on your Android device. Information related to scanned files is used to provide the application's features and is not intended to be stored on external MediaRescue servers. The retention of files and file information on your device is controlled by the application and Android system behavior. Uninstalling the application may remove application-specific local data according to Android's normal application data management.

MediaRescue does not intentionally upload your personal files, photos, videos, audio, documents, or scanned file information to external servers as part of its core file discovery functionality. Because the application is designed to work offline, the primary processing of your files takes place locally on your Android device. Certain third-party services used for application distribution, notifications, updates, or other platform functionality may process limited technical information according to their own privacy policies. MediaRescue does not control how independent third-party platforms process information.

We may disclose personal information that we collect or you provide: MediaRescue does not sell, rent, or intentionally disclose your personal files or scanned file information to third parties as part of its core functionality. Information may be disclosed only when reasonably necessary, such as: To comply with applicable laws or legal obligations To protect the rights, safety, or property of users or the service To investigate security or technical issues When required by third-party platforms that provide distribution, notification, or update services Any third-party service is responsible for handling information according to its own privacy policy and terms. ● Legal Requirements: ShaheerDev may disclose your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: ○ Comply with a legal obligation ○ Protect and defend the rights or property of ShaheerDev ○ Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service ○ Protect the personal safety of users of the Service or the public ○ Protect against legal liability

The security of your information is important to us. MediaRescue is designed with an offline-first approach so that your personal files remain on your device during normal scanning and discovery. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the application and the information it processes. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Android device, including its screen lock, operating system, and any permissions granted to applications.

MediaRescue and its official website may contain links to third-party websites or services, including application distribution platforms, documentation, support resources, and external services. If you follow a third-party link, you will be directed to a service that is not operated by MediaRescue. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy and terms of each third-party service you use. MediaRescue is not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party websites or services.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to MediaRescue, its features, or applicable requirements. When changes are made, the updated Privacy Policy will be published on this page and the effective date will be updated accordingly. You are encouraged to review this page periodically to stay informed about how MediaRescue handles information.
