  • The contents of TNEF files you open
  • Extracted files or messages from your attachments
  • Your file paths or storage locations
  • Personal information from email attachments

Advertising Identifier: The app includes Google AdMob banners. AdMob may collect the Android Advertising ID for personalized advertising as described in their privacy policy. You can reset this ID in your device settings.

3. Permissions Used

The app requires the following permissions for functionality:

  • STORAGE PERMISSIONS (READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE / WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) – For Android 12 and below: Allows browsing and opening TNEF files from your device storage.
  • READ_MEDIA_* PERMISSIONS (Android 13+) – Required to access files in shared storage, including TNEF attachments that may be classified under media categories.

jTNEf Library: The app uses the jTNEf open-source library for parsing TNEF files. This library operates entirely locally and does not transmit any data.

5. Data Security

Your TNEF files and extracted content remain private. The app only accesses files you explicitly select through the file picker. Parsing occurs in local memory, and extracted files are only saved if you choose to save them. No content is transmitted to external servers for processing.
