Privacy Policy
Last updated: 22 July 2026
GenZOffice is a document viewer and editor for Android, made by Safar Technologies Private Limited. It is built to do as much work as possible on your device, with no servers and no analytics.
What stays on your device
- Your files. GenZOffice reads, edits, converts and shares the documents you open. We never upload them. Files picked through the system picker are copied into the app's own storage, and that copy stays on the phone.
- Recent files and favourites. Stored locally on the device.
- Passwords for protected files. Hashed with PBKDF2-SHA512 (100,000 iterations) and stored in the Android Keystore. The hash never leaves the device.
- Encrypted files. "Protect" writes an AES-256-CBC + HMAC-SHA256 envelope. The key comes from your password, so we cannot recover it.
What leaves your device
- Nothing. The app has no advertising, no analytics and no crash reporting. It makes no network requests of its own — every feature keeps working in aeroplane mode. It is funded by voluntary donations collected on this website, never inside the app.
This website
The app itself does not talk to our servers. This website does, and only for what follows.
- Donations. If you donate, payment is processed by PayPal — we never see or store your card details. We record the amount, the currency, PayPal's order and capture identifiers, and the status of the payment.
- Your email, only if you give it. Donating anonymously is the default. If you choose to leave an email for a receipt, we store it and use it for nothing else. We do not copy the email address PayPal reports to us.
- Launch notifications. If you ask to be told when the app launches, we store that address and email you once, at launch.
- IP addresses. We do not store them. We keep a salted, irreversible hash purely to detect abuse of the donation form.
- No third-party analytics or advertising cookies on this site.
Permissions the app requests
- Storage / Media. To open files from Downloads, Documents and shared media folders.
- Camera and Photo Library. Optional, only when you choose to add a photo.
- Fingerprint / Face unlock. Optional, only for unlocking protected files.
We never request location, contacts or microphone access.
Children's privacy
GenZOffice does not knowingly collect data from children under 13. Ad requests are sent with the content rating set to "G".
