Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 25, 2026

In short: DropLink has no accounts and shows no ads. The files you send are transferred directly between devices or through an encrypted relay that forwards data in transit only - we do not store your files, and we do not read their contents.

1. Who we are

DropLink is an app for sharing files. You pick files on your device and get a link, QR code and short code; the recipient downloads them in a web browser. This policy explains what happens to your data when you use the app and this website.

2. No account required

You do not create an account or give us your name, email or phone number to use DropLink. We do not build user profiles.

3. Your files

Same network (LAN): when both devices are on the same network, files are sent directly from one device to the other. They do not pass through our servers.
Across networks: when the devices are on different networks, the transfer is carried over an encrypted relay tunnel. The relay only forwards the data while the transfer is happening - it does not keep a copy, and the file contents are not stored on our servers.
We do not scan, index, analyze or sell your files or their contents.

4. Share links and codes

Each share has a randomly generated 6-digit room code and a short PIN. Download links are signed and expire automatically (within hours). When you stop sharing or close the app, the share becomes unavailable.

5. Information we process

Connection data: to set up a transfer, our relay temporarily handles technical information such as the room code and the network address of the connection. This is used only to route the transfer and is not used to track you.
Diagnostics: servers may keep short-lived operational logs (for example, error and availability information) to keep the service running. These are not used to identify you and are rotated regularly.
No third-party advertising or analytics SDKs are bundled in the app.

6. App permissions (Android)

Photos / media / files: so you can choose the items you want to send. Access is used only for files you select.
Notifications: to show transfer progress and keep an active transfer running.
Permissions are requested when a feature needs them, not all at once on first launch.

7. Children

DropLink is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above.
