# Arc Privacy Policy

Quadren does not collect any data from you, the user, when you use Arc. All files shared on Arc are purely shared on the local network and are not accessible or connected to Quadren in any way, shape or form. 

Let us describe each permission that Arc utilises, and why we use them:

1. Bluetooth (android.permission.BLUETOOTH, android.permission.BLUETOOTH\_ADMIN): these permissions are only applicable for Android 10 and above. They are required for the Nearby Connections API, which Arc utilises to share files between Android devices.
2. WiFi (android.permission.ACCESS\_WIFI\_STATE, android.permission.CHANGE\_WIFI\_STATE): changing WiFi state is required by Nearby Connections, as is accessing WiFi state. Otherwise, Arc QuickScan checks to see if your WiFi is enabled when you attempt to connect to a hotspot using it.
3. Location (android.permission.ACCESS\_COARSE\_LOCATION, android.permission.ACCESS\_FINE\_LOCATION): once again, these are only required for Nearby Connections. If you are using Android 9 or below, these are not applicable to you.
4. Storage (android.permission.MANAGE\_EXTERNAL\_STORAGE): Arc needs this permission to read files, and write them to your storage. This is crucial to Arc's core functionality.
5. Internet (android.permission.INTERNET): Arc uses your local network to share files, and discover other devices on it. This permission allows Arc to do so.
6. Camera (android.permission.CAMERA): Arc uses QR codes to allow for feat
