PRIVACY POLICY

PRIVACY POLICY

Last updated: 31 August 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how the ShareDrop mobile application ("ShareDrop",

"the app", "we", "us") handles information.

This application is developed and maintained by "MD Developer Studio", which

serves as the official merchant for this application and is legally owned by

"MITUL VINUBHAI DONDA".

By installing or using ShareDrop you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do

not agree, please do not use the app.

1. THE SHORT VERSION

ShareDrop does not have user accounts, does not ask you to sign in, and does

not upload your files anywhere. Your photos, videos, documents and contacts are

sent directly from your phone to the other device you choose, over your own

Wi-Fi network or a hotspot created by your phone. We never receive them, never

store them, and never see them.

The only information that leaves your device is what Google's advertising

service collects in order to show ads, described in section 5.

2. FILES YOU SHARE

When you send files, ShareDrop starts a small web server inside the app on your

own device. The receiving device connects to that server directly over the

local network and downloads the files. Nothing passes through the internet and

nothing passes through any server operated by us or by any third party.

Three things limit what the other device can reach:

  - Only the items you specifically select are made available. Nothing else on

    your phone can be requested, even by someone who knows the address.

  - Each session uses a single-use access token embedded in the QR code. A

    device without that token is refused.

  - New devices must be approved by you before they can download anything.

When you receive files, they are written to the Download/ShareDrop folder on

your phone. You choose whether to copy them into your gallery.

When a session ends, the server stops and the access token is discarded.

3. INFORMATION STORED ON YOUR DEVICE

The following is saved in the app's private storage on your phone. It is not

transmitted anywhere and it is not readable by other apps.

  - Your chosen display language.

  - The fact that you accepted this Privacy Policy and the Terms & Conditions.

  - A transfer history: for each completed transfer, the file name, file size,

    whether it was sent or received, the local network address of the other

    device, and the date and time. File contents are never stored in history.

You can erase the transfer history at any time from the app menu. Uninstalling

the app removes all of the above.

4. PERMISSIONS AND WHY THEY ARE NEEDED

  Photos and media (or Storage on older Android versions)

    Required. Without it the app has nothing to share. Used to list your

    photos, videos and audio so you can choose what to send, and to save

    incoming files.

  All files access (optional)

    Only if you grant it. Lets you browse and send documents and installer

    files. The app works without it, with those categories unavailable.

  Contacts (optional)

    Only if you choose to share contacts. Used to build a standard vCard file

    that is sent directly to the other device. Contacts are never uploaded and

    never stored by us.

  Location / Nearby Wi-Fi devices

    Required by Android itself to create or read details of the local hotspot

    used when the two devices are not on the same Wi-Fi network. ShareDrop

    does not collect, store, or transmit your geographic location.

  Notifications

    To show the ongoing transfer notification so Android keeps the transfer

    running while the screen is off.

  Internet and network state

    Used for the local connection between the two devices, to check Google

    Play for app updates, and to load ads.

5. ADVERTISING

ShareDrop displays advertising supplied by Google AdMob. Google is an

independent controller of the data it collects for this purpose.

To serve and measure ads, Google and its advertising partners may collect and

process your device's advertising identifier, IP address, device and operating

system details, and information about ad interactions. This may be used to show

personalised advertising.

We do not send Google your files, your file names, your contacts, or your

transfer history. We receive only aggregated, non-identifying reports about ad

performance.

  Google's Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

  How Google uses information from apps that use its services:

  https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

You can limit personalised advertising, or reset or delete your advertising ID,

in your device settings under Settings > Privacy > Ads.

6. ANALYTICS

ShareDrop does not include any analytics or crash-reporting service. We do not

track how you use the app.

7. CHILDREN

ShareDrop is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not

knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child

has provided information through the app, please contact us and we will act

on it.

8. YOUR CHOICES

  - Clear your transfer history from the app menu at any time.

  - Withdraw any optional permission in Android's app settings.

  - Reset or delete your advertising identifier in your device settings.

  - Uninstall the app, which removes everything it has stored.

Because we hold no personal data about you on any server, there is nothing for

us to export or delete on your behalf.

9. SECURITY

Transfers stay on your local network and are limited by the session token and

your device approval, as described in section 2. No system is perfectly secure,

so we recommend sharing only on networks you trust and approving only devices

you recognise.

10. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy. The revised version will be posted on this

page with a new "Last updated" date. Material changes will be brought to your

attention in the app.
