Restora – Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 6, 2026 · App: Restora: Recover Deleted Files (com.softsolutions.restora)
Restora ("the app") is developed by Soft Solutions. This policy explains what the app does with your information. In short: your photos, videos, files, messages and contacts are processed only on your device and are never uploaded by us.
1. Data processed only on your device
- Files (photos, videos, audio, documents). With the "All files access" permission, the app scans your device storage to find deleted or hidden files so you can restore them, back them up to a hidden folder on your device, move them to the encrypted vault or clean duplicates and junk. Files never leave your device.
- Notification history. If you grant notification access, the app stores the text of notifications from messaging apps (and the photo preview when a notification contains one) in a private database on your device, for up to 30 days, so you can read a message after its sender deleted it. Videos are not captured. You can clear this history at any time in the app and revoke access in your phone's settings.
- Contacts. If you use the duplicate contacts feature, contacts are read on your device to find duplicates. Nothing is uploaded.
- Private vault. Files you move to the vault are encrypted on your device with a key kept in the Android Keystore.
We do not have servers that receive any of this data, and we cannot access it.
2. Data handled by third parties
- Advertising – Google AdMob. The free version shows ads provided by Google AdMob, which may collect your device's advertising ID, IP address and app interaction data to show and measure ads. In the EEA, UK and Switzerland you are asked for consent first, and you can change your choice anytime under Settings → Privacy options. See how Google uses data from apps that use its services. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's settings.
- Purchases – Google Play Billing. Subscriptions are processed by Google Play. We receive only the confirmation that a purchase is active; we never see your payment details. See the Google Privacy Policy.
3. Permissions
- All files access – to find, recover, back up and clean files (core feature).
- Notification access (optional) – for the notification history.
- Contacts (optional) – for duplicate contact cleanup.
- Internet – for ads and Google Play Billing only.
- Biometrics / screen lock (optional) – to lock the app and the vault. Biometric data is handled by Android and never reaches the app.
4. Data retention and deletion
Notification history is deleted automatically after 30 days. You can delete all app data at any time by clearing the history in the app or uninstalling the app. Files you recovered or backed up stay in your storage until you delete them.
5. Children
The app is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly process their data.
6. Security
Data stays in the app's private storage protected by Android. Vault files are encrypted with AES-256.
7. Changes
We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the latest version.
