Syncwarden Privacy Policy

Last updated: 9 November 2026

This policy explains what data the Syncwarden Android app ("Syncwarden", "the app") accesses, how it is used, and the choices you have.

1. Who is responsible

The controller responsible for Syncwarden is:
Infroware, Khaled Alhasan (Einzelunternehmen)
Hatzenbergstraße 45
57462 Olpe
Germany
Email: info@infroware.com

2. What Syncwarden does

Syncwarden synchronizes folders that you select on your Android device with storage that you choose and connect yourself: Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, WebDAV servers, S3-compatible storage, or SMB network shares.

3. Data the app accesses

• Files in the folders you choose to sync. Syncwarden reads and writes files only in the local folders and the destination folders you select for a sync job.
• Google user data. When you connect Google Drive, Syncwarden uses the Google Drive API to list, upload, download, update and delete files only within the Drive folders you choose as sync destinations. It also reads the email address of your Google account so it can show you which account is connected.
• Microsoft OneDrive data. When you connect OneDrive, Syncwarden accesses files only in the OneDrive folders you choose, and reads your account email address to show which account is connected.
• Credentials for your storage. For WebDAV, S3-compatible and SMB storage, the app stores the server address, user name, password or access keys you enter. For Google Drive and OneDrive it stores the sign-in tokens issued by Google or Microsoft.

4. How the data is used

All of the data above is used only to provide the sync feature you set up: to connect to your storage, transfer your files, and show you the status of your sync jobs and which account is connected. It is not used for any other purpose.

5. Where the data is stored

• Sync settings, file indexes, account email addresses and credentials are stored only on your device.
• Sign-in tokens, passwords and keys are stored encrypted on your device.
• Your files are transferred directly between your device and the storage provider you chose. They are not sent to, stored on, or viewed by Infroware servers.

6. Sharing and transfer

Infroware does not receive, sell, rent or share your data. Your data is transferred only to the storage provider you selected (for example Google, Microsoft, or the server you entered), as needed to perform the sync you requested. Syncwarden contains no advertising, does not use your data for advertising, and does not use your data to build user profiles. Your data is not used to train AI or machine-learning models.

7. Google API Services – Limited Use

Syncwarden's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

In particular: Google user data is used only to provide and improve the user-facing sync feature; it is not transferred to others except as needed to provide that feature, to comply with applicable law, or as part of a merger or acquisition with notice to you; it is not used or transferred for serving advertisements; and no human reads it unless you give explicit consent (for example, for support you request), it is needed for security purposes, or it is required by law.

8. Retention and deletion

• Data stays on your device for as long as you keep the account connected or the app installed.
• Sign out of an account in Syncwarden to delete its stored tokens or credentials from your device.
• Uninstall the app, or clear its storage in Android settings, to delete all of its data from your device.
• You can revoke Syncwarden's access to your Google account at any time at myaccount.google.com/permissions, and to your Microsoft account at account.live.com/consent/Manage.
• Files already synced to your storage remain there under your control; you can delete them with your storage provider.

9. Security

Connections to Google Drive and OneDrive use encrypted HTTPS. Credentials are stored encrypted on the device. For WebDAV, S3-compatible and SMB storage, the security of the connection depends on the server you configure; we recommend using encrypted connections (HTTPS / SMB encryption).

10. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection. Because Syncwarden keeps your data on your device and Infroware does not receive it, you can exercise most of these rights directly in the app or on your device. For any question, contact info@infroware.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.

11. Children

Syncwarden is not directed at children under 16.

12. Changes

We may update this policy. The current version is always available at this address, with the date of the last update shown above.
