JRDrive

Overview

JRDrive is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you use JRDrive on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, Apple Vision Pro and Android.

In short: we have no accounts and no servers that see your files or credentials. The free versions on iPhone, iPad and Android show ads from Google AdMob, which collects some device data as described below. Premium removes ads. JRDrive on Mac, Apple TV and Apple Vision Pro shows no ads.

Information We Collect

We do not ask you to create an account, and we never collect your files, file names, storage credentials or encryption passwords. Information is collected only in these cases:

• Advertising (free versions on iPhone, iPad and Android only). Ads are served by Google AdMob. Google may collect a device or advertising identifier, your approximate location derived from your IP address, ad interactions, and diagnostic data, to serve and measure ads and prevent fraud. On iOS, JRDrive does not request permission to track you, so Apple's advertising identifier (IDFA) is not available to Google. See how Google uses information from apps that use its services. Upgrading to Premium turns ads off.
• Feedback you send. When you use the in-app feedback form we receive your message, the email address if you choose to give one, your device model, operating system and app version, and a one-way hash of the app's device identifier (used to group messages from the same device and limit spam).
• Anonymous purchase statistics (Android only). To diagnose purchase problems, the Android app can send counts of app opens, paywall views and purchase attempts with a random per-install ID, the app version and your country. It contains no personal, account or file data, is never sent for users identified as minors, and can be turned off in Settings → Share anonymous purchase stats.

We do not sell your personal information.

Your Advertising Choices

• EEA, UK and Switzerland: JRDrive is adding Google's consent form, which asks for your choice before personalized ads are shown and lets you change it later in Settings → Privacy Choices. Until it reaches your version of the app, Google serves only limited, non-personalized ads (or none) in these regions.
• Everyone: on iOS, ads are never personalized using IDFA. On Android you can reset or delete your advertising ID in your device's Google settings.
• Premium removes ads entirely.

Remote Server Connections

JRDrive allows you to connect to various remote storage servers and cloud providers (such as Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, WebDAV, SFTP, FTP, SMB, and many others). When you connect to these services:

• Your server credentials are stored securely and locally on your device
• On iOS, credentials are encrypted and stored in the iOS Keychain
• On Android, credentials are encrypted using EncryptedSharedPreferences backed by the Android Keystore (AES-256-GCM)
• JRDrive communicates directly with your servers - we never see or store your credentials
• Your files are transferred directly between your device and your remote servers
• No file content passes through our servers

File Access and Storage

JRDrive accesses your remote storage files solely for the purpose of displaying, managing, and transferring them as you direct:

• Files are streamed directly from your remote servers
• Downloaded files are stored temporarily in your device's cache
• Thumbnail previews are generated and cached locally on your device
• No file content is ever transmitted to our servers
• All file operations occur between your device and your remote servers

Encrypted Remotes

JRDrive supports encrypted remote configurations:

• Encryption passwords are stored locally on your device only
• All encryption and decryption occurs on your device
• We have no access to your encryption keys or decrypted content
• Your encrypted data remains encrypted in transit and at rest on cloud providers

Data Storage

Any preferences, settings, or remote configurations you set within JRDrive are stored locally on your device only. This information:

• Never leaves your device (except for platform backups if enabled, such as iCloud or Android Auto Backup)
• Is not accessible to us or any third parties
• Can be deleted by uninstalling the app
• Is not shared with other applications

Third-Party Services

JRDrive connects to third-party cloud storage providers that you configure. Each cloud provider has their own privacy policies that govern your data stored on their services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any cloud services you connect to JRDrive.

Besides the storage providers you choose, JRDrive uses Google AdMob for ads in the free iPhone, iPad and Android versions (see above), Google Apps Script to receive feedback, and Apple and Google for purchases. Google’s privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.

In-App Purchases

JRDrive offers a premium upgrade through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Purchase transactions are handled entirely by Apple or Google respectively. We do not collect or store any payment information.

Children's Privacy

JRDrive is not directed at children. Ads are limited to content suitable for general audiences, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country).

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.

Delete Your Data (JRDrive)

JRDrive has no accounts, so almost everything lives only on your device. To delete it:

1. Data on your device (storage connections, credentials, settings, cache, offline files): remove remotes in the app, or uninstall JRDrive. This deletes it immediately.
2. Feedback you sent us (message, optional email, device model, hashed device identifier): email support@jpathak.com with the subject “JRDrive data deletion” and the email address you used, if any. We delete it within 30 days and keep nothing afterwards.
3. Anonymous purchase statistics (Android): these carry only a random per-install ID that we cannot link to you. Turn them off in Settings → Share anonymous purchase stats; uninstalling resets the ID. Stored counts are kept for up to 12 months.
4. Advertising data collected by Google AdMob: managed by Google; use myadcenter.google.com or your device's ad settings.

Your Rights

Storage connections, settings and caches live on your device; remove them in the app or by uninstalling it. To ask about or delete feedback you sent, email us. For data collected by Google for advertising, use the choices above or Google’s tools at myadcenter.google.com. Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or US state privacy laws) you may have rights to access, correct, delete or opt out of certain uses of your data; contact us to exercise them.
