Delete either 'the' or 'your'.
Consider that there are other types of files and either use a more generic
term for the types of files or specify each and every one of them.
A generic term like simply 'files' or 'content' without specifying type
would probably do. Types may also include sound, music, video, speech of
various types... Who knows what other types might evolve in time or how a
court might interpret what is included under these names. I prefer the word
'content' which is currently popular and all-inclusive.
