Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2 November 2026
In short: BitSwap sends files and messages directly between your own devices over your local Wi-Fi. We don't run servers that receive your files or messages, and we don't ask you to create an account.
This policy applies to the BitSwap app for Android (package com.lanzo.app) and Windows, published by the BitSwap developer ("we", "us"). BitSwap lets you send files and chat with nearby devices without using the internet.
Information we collect
We do not collect, store, or sell your personal information. We have no user accounts, and the files you transfer and the messages you send never pass through any server of ours.
Information stored on your device
To work, the app keeps some data locally on your own device only:
- Transfer history and chat messages, saved in the app's local storage so you can see them later.
- App settings, such as your device name and transfer mode (Fast or Secure).
- Files you receive, saved to the location you choose on your device.
You can remove this data at any time by clearing it in the app or uninstalling BitSwap.
Permissions the app uses
- Files, photos and media: to let you pick files to send and to save files you receive.
- Local network and Wi-Fi information: to find nearby devices running BitSwap and to connect to them directly over your Wi-Fi or hotspot.
- Network access: used only for direct device-to-device connections on your local network.
These permissions are used only for the features described above.
How your data is shared
Files and messages are sent directly from one device to another device that you choose. They are shared only with the device you select, and in Secure mode the transfer is encrypted. We do not share your data with third parties, advertisers, or analytics providers.
On-device processing
Some features, such as organising or labelling images, run on your device. This processing does not send your images anywhere.
Children
BitSwap is a general-purpose utility and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.
Security
Because your data stays on your devices and travels only over your local connection, it never sits on our servers. You are responsible for only accepting transfers from devices you trust and for keeping your own devices secure.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the app after a change means you accept the updated policy.
