Privacy Policy

1. Overview

FluxShare is a peer-to-peer application that runs entirely on your own devices. It does not use cloud servers, accounts, or remote databases. File transfers and clipboard synchronisation happen directly between paired devices on your local network. No data leaves your local network unless you explicitly transfer it to a paired device.

2. Data we collect

None. FluxShare does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data, usage analytics, telemetry, diagnostic information, or crash reports. The app runs locally and has no backend service.

3. Data transmitted by the app

The only data FluxShare transmits is:

• File contents and folder metadata that you explicitly send to a paired device.
• Clipboard text that you explicitly sync to a paired device.
• mDNS / Bonjour advertisements used to discover other FluxShare devices on the same local network.

All transfers are encrypted with TLS 1.3 using per-device ECDSA P-256 certificates generated locally on first run. Transfers are compressed with zstd before transmission and decompressed on arrival.

4. Network permissions

The Windows MSIX package declares two capabilities:

• privateNetworkClientServer — required for device discovery and file transfer on your local network.
• internetClient — declared by the MSIX manifest to satisfy platform packaging requirements; FluxShare does not contact any remote endpoints over the internet.

Your operating system firewall and Windows Defender continue to govern inbound and outbound traffic as normal.

5. Third-party services

FluxShare does not integrate with any third-party services, SDKs, advertising networks, or analytics providers. It has no dependencies that phone home.

6. Children's privacy

FluxShare does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children under 13. The application processes no personal data.

7. Data retention & deletion

Configuration (paired device identities, user preferences) is stored only on your device. Uninstalling FluxShare removes all local state. There is no server-side data to delete.

8. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Substantive changes will also be noted in the release notes.
