Privacy Policy for ViaPortal: Universal Link

Last Updated: January 2, 2026

ViaPortal ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our mobile application.

1. Core Privacy Principle: Local-Only Transfer

ViaPortal is a local file-sharing tool. We do not operate any cloud servers. All file and clipboard transfers occur exclusively within your local Wi-Fi network between your devices. Your files never leave your local network and are never uploaded to our servers or any third-party cloud.

2. Data Collection

Files and Photos: We do not collect, view, or store your files or photos. We only facilitate the transfer process.
Clipboard Data: We do not collect your clipboard content. It is only synced locally to your designated browser session.
Device Information: We may identify your device type (e.g., Windows, Mac, Android) via User-Agent headers solely to provide a better visual connection experience. This data is temporary and never transmitted externally.

3. System Permissions

To provide its services, ViaPortal requires the following permissions:

Local Network: Required to establish a connection between your iPhone and other devices in the same Wi-Fi environment.
Photo Library: Required to allow you to select and send photos or save received photos to your gallery.
Files System: Required to access documents you wish to transfer.

4. Third-Party Services (Advertising)

We use Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob may collect and use certain data (such as advertising IDs) to show personalized ads. You can manage your ad preferences in your iOS system settings. Please refer to Google’s Privacy Policy for more details.

5. Data Security

Since data transfer is local, the security of your files depends on the security of your local Wi-Fi network. We recommend using password-protected private networks.
