File sharing app SHAREit on 4 December said they are a user-friendly content sharing platform and not a malicious or a spyware application in India.
Reacting to reports that the Indian security establishment asked troops to delete some 40 Chinese mobile apps, including SHAREit, the company said it does not compromise on users' security.
"At SHAREit, we strictly adhere to high security standards and respect our users privacy. We do not compromise on user's security and their privacy is of utmost importance to us. We have a huge user base in India and we are committed to providing better products and service to our users with continuous technological developments," the company said in a statement.
Reports last week alleged that foreign intelligence agencies including from China and Pakistan were using these mobile apps to hack into smartphones.
"We have taken this issue seriously and are investigating the advisory. We are also happy to interact with government and media representatives to give more clarity. As per industry standards, we have also partnered with Amazon AWS (Amazon Web Services) as our infrastructure service provider, aiming to provide fast and secure service to our global users," SHAREit added.
