Privacy Policy
This privacy policy describes how Xender.org ("we", "the site") handles information about visitors. This site is an independent documentation resource for the Xender file transfer app and is not operated by the Xender team. The Xender app itself has its own privacy policy at xender.com.
What we collect
We collect minimal information when you visit the site:
- Standard server logs: IP address, user agent, referrer, timestamp. Retained for 30 days, used for traffic analysis and abuse prevention.
- Aggregated analytics via our self-hosted Umami instance. Umami uses no cookies, fingerprints no users, and stores no personal data. We see country-level geography, device type, and which pages are visited — not who visited them.
- Cookie-based data from third-party advertising (Google AdSense) on content pages. See below.
What we do not collect
- No email addresses, names, or phone numbers unless you voluntarily send them via the contact form.
- No payment data — nothing on this site is for sale.
- No account system — there is no way to sign up, no password to store.
- No tracking across other sites.
Advertising (Google AdSense)
Content pages carry display advertising served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may set cookies on your device to personalize ads based on your interests and previous site visits. Under the Google AdSense advertising policy, you may:
- Opt out of personalized ads at Google Ads Settings.
- Opt out of third-party vendor cookies at aboutads.info.
- Control cookies directly via your browser settings.
We use Google-certified CMP (Consent Management Platform) on pages where EU, UK or California regulations require it. Rejecting consent still allows the site to function — you will see non-personalized ads instead.
Cookies
The site itself sets no first-party cookies. The only cookies you encounter on Xender.org are set by Google AdSense and related advertising vendors. You can clear or block these at any time via your browser settings without affecting site functionality.
Data retention
Server access logs are kept for up to 30 days and then automatically rotated out. Analytics data (Umami) is retained in aggregated form for the life of the site. Advertising cookies follow Google's retention policies.
Children's privacy
This site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information via our contact form, email hello@xender.org and we will delete it.
Your rights
Under GDPR, CCPA, and similar regulations, you have the right to request what we know about you, correct any data, or request deletion. Because we collect minimal information, we likely have nothing tied to you specifically. To make a request anyway, email hello@xender.org.
Contact
Questions about this policy: hello@xender.org, or see the contact page.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top. Continued use of the site constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
