Last Updated: September 28, 2025

Information We Collect
EncodeHive collects minimal information necessary for app functionality:
- Application Settings: Your preferences for encoding settings, output directories, and application configuration
- Log Files: Diagnostic information and error logs generated during app usage (used for troubleshooting)
- File Metadata: Information about media files you choose to process (file names, paths, sizes) - this data is processed locally and not transmitted

How We Use Information
- Settings: Stored locally on your device to maintain your preferences
- Logs: Used only for app diagnostics and troubleshooting; logs are stored locally
- File Processing: Media files are processed entirely on your local device using FFmpeg

Data Sharing and Transmission
- No Data Transmission: By default, EncodeHive does not transmit any data over the internet
- Optional Network Sharing: If you enable network sharing features, the app may share files across your local network only (not to external servers)
- Third-Party Services: The app uses FFmpeg (open-source software) for media processing, but no data is sent to FFmpeg's servers

Data Storage and Security
- All data is stored locally on your device
- No cloud storage or external servers are used
- You can delete all application data by uninstalling the app

Your Rights
- You can view and modify your settings at any time within the app
- You can delete log files and reset settings through the app's settings menu
- You can uninstall the app to remove all associated data

Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy occasionally. Any changes will be reflected in app updates.
