Applies to FM Transfer 0.3.2 for Android

Privacy contact: . Oriwella is the brand under which FM Transfer is offered.

2. What the app does and what it processes

FM Transfer sends files you share with the app, including exported WhatsApp ZIP archives, and photos or videos you select to your paired computer running Flumen Memoriarum Archive. You can select individual media, a folder including its subfolders, or all photos and videos accessible under the permissions you grant.

The app reads file contents and metadata such as names, folder paths, file references, media types, sizes and modification times. Archives can contain messages, names, phone numbers and media belonging to you and other people. Original files may retain embedded metadata, including location information. Transfer only material you are entitled to send.

These files and the metadata needed to manage the transfer are sent to your chosen computer. FM Transfer does not require an Oriwella account or route these transfers through an Oriwella cloud service.

3. Pairing and local network connections

The app reads the computer's pairing QR code locally using the camera. The code contains a private network address, a pairing token and the computer's public-key fingerprint. Camera images are not saved or uploaded by the app.

For recognition and authentication, the app derives a device identifier from Android ID and sends it with the phone manufacturer/model to the computer. The app stores the paired computer's name/address, device identifiers, an authentication secret and the public-key fingerprint in private app storage. The computer also receives your local IP address and transfer requests, progress and authentication data.

Version 0.3.2 restricts its transfer connections to private/local IPv4 addresses using HTTPS and verifies the receiver key obtained during pairing. You approve pairing and new transfer requests on the computer; authorized transfers can reconnect and resume. Use a computer and network you trust.

4. Android permissions

  • Camera: scan the pairing QR code.
  • Photos and videos: read media you choose or authorize, including Android's selected-media access; on Android 12L and earlier, read external storage. Android's document/folder picker and Share function can also grant access to particular files.
  • Internet, network state and Wi-Fi state: connect to the paired computer and detect connectivity changes. The Android Internet permission also covers local network sockets.
  • Wi-Fi state changes and wake lock: keep Wi-Fi and the CPU active during transfers.
  • Notifications and foreground data-sync service: show transfer progress/cancellation and continue a transfer while the app is in the background.

The app does not request contacts, microphone or location permission. Reading a selected file can still expose personal information contained in it. You can manage permissions in Android Settings; refusing or revoking a permission may prevent the related feature from working.

5. Local storage and diagnostics

The app saves transfer queues, file references/metadata, progress and pairing settings to support reconnection and resume. Files are streamed from their source rather than copied into a separate full archive in app storage. Transfer notifications can display file/progress information.

Local diagnostic logs contain timestamps, connection addresses, event/error codes, transfer counts/sizes and hashed identifiers. Exported diagnostics also include the phone model, Android version and saved transfer state, which can contain a current file name or batch label. Logs are rotated at approximately 512 KiB per file with a previous log retained; events are also written to Android system logs.

Diagnostics are not automatically sent to Oriwella. Exporting a report writes a text file to the location you select. Review it before sharing; support receives it only if you choose to send it. No advertising, analytics or automatic crash-reporting SDK is integrated in the reviewed app. The QR scanner uses the bundled ZXing library.

6. Retention, deletion and your control

Pairing settings remain until replaced or the app's data is cleared. Queue metadata and transfer state may remain after completion until replaced or cleared; completing a transfer does not erase all local metadata. Logs rotate as described above. You can cancel transfers and clear app storage or uninstall FM Transfer through Android Settings. Android backup of the app's private data is disabled.

Clearing or uninstalling the app does not delete original files, exported diagnostic reports or copies already received on the computer. Delete those separately where they are stored; remove the phone's pairing authorization in the desktop app if required. The developer cannot remotely delete files held only on your devices.

7. Recipients, support and your rights

The normal recipient of transfers is your paired computer. FM Transfer does not automatically send your archives or device diagnostics to the developer, advertising services or analytics services. File providers you select through Android, Google Play and Android itself may separately process data under their own policies.

If you contact support, we process your email address, message and any files or reports you voluntarily attach to answer your request. We retain them for handling the request and any applicable legal retention obligations, and delete them when no longer needed.

Processing serves the functions you request (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and legitimate interests in responding to support requests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR); where consent is required, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR applies. Where applicable, you have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection, may withdraw consent and may complain to a data protection supervisory authority. Contact the address above for data the developer holds.

8. This website and changes

Opening this policy loads the Oriwella website through Netlify. Its hosting and language preference are covered by the website Privacy Policy. This app policy will be updated if FM Transfer's data handling changes.
