Trust & Safety: The app requests a wide range of permissions typical for file management, media capture, cloud backup, and account syncing (including storage, camera, microphone, contacts, and network access). It relies on external libraries and services (e.g., Google Ad IDs, billing, Firebase) and includes a dynamic receiver, which callers should review for privacy and safety considerations before use.
