XORA App Permissions Notice

Effective date: May 13, 2026. This notice is based on the current iOS Info.plist, Android manifest, and Expo configuration and must be rechecked before each release.

XORA asks for permissions only when a feature needs them. If you deny a permission, the related feature may be unavailable or may ask again when you use it.

Camera

Used for QR or share-code scanning, profile/media capture, and video-call features where available. Denying camera access disables those capture or scan actions.

Microphone

Used for voice notes and encrypted voice/video calls. Denying microphone access disables recording and call audio input.

Photos and media

Used to pick, attach, save, or share media inside conversations. Denying access prevents selecting or saving media from the device library.

Location

Used only when you choose to share your current location in a conversation. Denying access prevents location sharing.

Notifications

Used for wake/sync and account/security alerts. Notification content is designed to stay privacy-preserving according to your in-app privacy settings.

Biometrics and local authentication

Used to protect local app lock and security material where the platform supports it. Denying or disabling biometrics may require passcode or other fallback controls.

NFC

Used for privacy-safe XORA Share Card links if NFC features are enabled on your device. NFC payloads must not contain message bodies, raw account IDs, or private keys.

Network and overlays

Internet access is required for account, sync, encrypted transport, and asset delivery. Android debug or development builds may include overlay permission entries for development tooling; production release review must confirm only intended permissions are present.
