1. Scope and documents
This page contains both the Privacy Notice and the Terms of Use for the Teledisk website, desktop and Android beta clients, license service, forum and bot notifications. Version 2026-10-15.
Teledisk is an unofficial Telegram client designed for cloud file management. It is not endorsed by, affiliated with or distributed by Telegram.
2. Controller and contact
The data controller is the operator of the Teledisk project (“Teledisk Team”). Privacy requests: privacy@teledisk.net. Support: support@teledisk.net.
You may also lodge a complaint with your competent data-protection authority.
3. Data processed
Account and contact data: Telegram ID and public profile fields received during login, email, phone, preferred language, acceptance version and time.
License and service data: plan, key, status, expiration, extension requests, operational history, releases and update checks.
Security data: session/access tokens, IP address and user agent where necessary to authenticate, prevent abuse and diagnose faults. Consent evidence stores only monthly salted-style IP evidence and a user-agent hash, not the plain values.
Forum data: account, posts, interactions and native Flarum notifications. A forum notification addressed to you may be mirrored to the Teledisk bot.
Teledisk does not copy your Telegram chats, downloaded files or the application’s local database to Teledisk servers. Those remain on your self-hosted/local machine.
3A. Teledisk Media on Android — supplement updated 2026-10-15
At first launch you can choose a local-only gallery: in that mode TDLib is not started and no Telegram login, license check, Teledisk registration or cloud transfer takes place.
If you enable Telegram cloud and explicitly accept the current Notice and Terms, an authenticated Telegram identity without a Teledisk account is registered in-app and receives one free one-month Beta Tester licence. The trial is identity-bound, is not restarted by reinstalling and may be refused or revoked for abuse.
Only items selected by your configurable backup rules are sent through TDLib to your own Saved Messages. File name, original folder, device identifier/name, size, media type, SHA-256, album and multipart reconstruction data are included so the catalogue can be rebuilt. Media contents are not uploaded to Teledisk servers.
You may keep originals both locally and in Saved Messages, or explicitly choose Telegram-only storage. Local copies are removed only after account-scoped remote and SHA-256 verification; Android may require an additional system confirmation. Small thumbnails stay in the app sandbox. Photos, editing and sharing use a verified temporary original; video playback may instead request temporary seekable ranges from the Saved Messages document, including multipart ranges. Space-saving statistics are calculated only in the local Room database.
Gallery access uses Android MediaStore permissions because viewing, searching, albums and continuous backup are primary app features. Document folders require an explicit Storage Access Framework choice. Automatic backup uses constrained Android work with durable checkpoints; the visible data-sync foreground service is reserved for a manual backup started by the user. The app does not request contacts, SMS, call-log, location or all-files access.
4. Purposes and legal bases
Contract/performance: registration, one-month Beta Tester license, access control, updates, extension requests, forum and essential messages (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)).
Legitimate interests: security, fraud/abuse prevention, reliability, minimal operational statistics and defence of rights (Art. 6(1)(f)), balanced against user rights.
Legal obligations and establishment or defence of legal claims where applicable (Art. 6(1)(c) and (f)).
The required registration checkbox is acceptance of the Terms and acknowledgement of this Notice; it is not consent for advertising. Teledisk does not sell data, run behavioural advertising or profile users.
5. Recipients and transfers
Data may be handled by the infrastructure/hosting and transactional-email providers used to operate the service. Telegram receives messages sent through its bot infrastructure; Telegram and forum processing are also governed by their own terms and notices.
Access is limited to authorised administrators. Providers may process data outside the EEA under the safeguards and legal mechanisms made available by the relevant provider. No Telegram content is disclosed by Teledisk because it is not collected on Teledisk servers.
6. Retention and deletion
Account, contact, license and forum-account data are kept while the account is active and for strictly necessary operational/legal periods. Failed delivery and security records are periodically retried or removed according to operational need.
From Profile you can request deletion. A one-hour confirmation link is sent by email. After confirmation the account, license, contacts, tokens and associated operational records are deleted; the Flarum identity is anonymised. Public forum contributions may remain to preserve discussion integrity but are no longer linked to your identity.
A restricted deletion register containing only the display name and deletion date is retained for 12 months, then automatically erased. The confirmation email explains this exception before deletion.
7. Your rights
You may request access, correction where applicable, erasure, restriction, portability and objection, and complain to a supervisory authority. Profile contact data are read-only in the product to protect account integrity; request a correction at privacy@teledisk.net.
Requests are handled within the periods required by applicable law, normally one month under the GDPR, subject to permitted extensions.
8. Terms of Use – Beta Tester
The only plan currently offered is the free, non-commercial Beta Tester license, valid for one month. Starting 48 hours before expiration, or after expiration, the user may request a further 30 days. Approval is not automatic. This process helps understand genuine beta usage.
The software and service may change, be suspended or discontinued. No uninterrupted availability is guaranteed. Teledisk is not responsible for interruptions, restrictions or loss of access caused by Telegram, its APIs, infrastructure or policy changes, to the maximum extent permitted by law. Nothing excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
9. Acceptable use and Telegram
You must comply with applicable law and Telegram’s Terms, API Terms and policies. Do not spam, harass, scam, scrape, bypass limits, infringe rights, distribute unlawful content or abuse Telegram/Teledisk resources.
You are responsible for your Telegram account, the content you access and the security/backups of the local database and downloaded files. A breach may result in suspension or revocation of the beta license.
For EU users, Telegram currently requires users to be at least 18. Users must also satisfy the age rules applicable to their jurisdiction and Telegram account.
10. Security, cookies and updates
Teledisk uses technical session cookies and local browser storage for interface preferences such as the theme. No advertising cookies are used. Security controls reduce risk but no system can be guaranteed risk-free.
Material changes are versioned and may require renewed acknowledgement in the dashboard. Continued use remains subject to the current accepted version.
