# NASDrop Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 4, 2026

NASDrop Android is a companion app for a NASDrop Server operated by the user. The
developer does not operate an intermediary download service and does not receive
the user's NAS credentials, download links, files, or job history.

## Information stored on the device

NASDrop stores the following information in the app's private storage so it can
connect to the user's server:

- NASDrop Server address
- NASDrop username and access token
- Default destination folder
- Language preference
- Advertising display counter and ad-removal entitlement

Android backup and device-transfer backup are disabled for this app. Removing the
app or clearing its app data removes this locally stored information.

## Information sent to the user's server

When the user adds or shares a download, the app sends the download URL,
destination folder, extraction preference, and an archive password if the user
provided one directly to the user's own NASDrop Server. The server's processing is
controlled by the user and is not operated by the app developer.

## Advertising

The free version uses Google AdMob. Depending on the user's region, choices, and
device settings, Google's advertising services may collect or process information
such as the device IP address, product interactions, diagnostic information,
advertising identifiers, and other device or account identifiers for advertising,
analytics, and fraud-prevention purposes. NASDrop uses Google's User Messaging
Platform to request consent where required and provides a privacy-options entry in
the app when required.

For details about Google's processing, see:

- https://policies.google.com/privacy
- https://business.safety.google/privacy/ads-data/

## Purchases

Ad removal is offered as a Google Play one-time purchase. Google Play processes the
payment. NASDrop receives purchase status needed to grant and restore the
ad-removal entitlement; the developer does not receive the user's full payment-card
or bank-account details.

## Photos and QR codes

If the user chooses a pairing QR image or takes a QR photo, the selected image is
processed on the device to read the pairing information. NASDrop does not upload the
image to the developer.

## Children's privacy

NASDrop is a self-hosted server utility and is not directed to children under 13.

## Security and user choices

The app requires HTTPS for Internet-hosted NAS addresses. The user may choose HTTP
only for local or private-network addresses. Users can withdraw advertising consent
through the privacy choices entry when it is required, remove local information by
clearing app data, and remove all app data by uninstalling NASDrop.

## Changes

This policy may be updated when NASDrop's features or service providers change. The
effective date at the top identifies the current version.
