OthSync Privacy Policy

OthSync is made by OthTech Solutions. This policy covers the OthSync app for Android. You can reach us at admin@othtech.com.

OthSync has no account, no sign-in, no advertising and no analytics. The app does not send any information about you, your device or your files to OthTech Solutions or to anyone else. We have no servers that receive your files.

Files go directly from one of your devices to another over your local Wi-Fi (or a phone's hotspot), over an encrypted connection (TLS 1.3). Both devices must agree to connect — by a one-time code, a QR code, or a 6-digit number shown on both screens. Files are never uploaded to the internet or to a cloud.

The app keeps a few things on your phone only: your device name, your own folders and favourites, a short list of earlier transfers (device name, number of files, size and time), and a security key that lets devices recognise each other. Uninstalling the app removes them. Files you receive are saved to the phone (and photos and videos to your Gallery, if you leave that on) — you can delete them any time.

Wi-Fi and network access — to find devices running OthSync on the same Wi-Fi and connect to them.

Camera — only to scan another device's QR code. Images are processed on the phone and never saved or sent.

All files access (optional) — so you can find and send any file on your phone. Without it, the app still works with files you received. File names and contents never leave the phone except to the device you choose to send them to.

Location (optional) — Android only tells apps the name of your Wi-Fi when location is allowed. OthSync asks only when you tap “Show name” in Settings, uses it only to show that name, and never reads or stores where you are.

OthSync is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from anyone.

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with its date. Questions? Write to admin@othtech.com.
