Privacy Policy
Last updated: 18 April 2026
LocalDrop.Dev ("the App") is a peer-to-peer file sharing application developed by SukiDesign. This Privacy Policy explains how the App handles information. The short version: the App does not collect, store, or transmit any of your personal data to us or any third party.
1. What the App does
LocalDrop.Dev lets you send files between your own devices (computers and phones) on the same local network (Wi-Fi or LAN). File transfers happen directly between your devices over HTTP on your local network. Nothing is uploaded to any server operated by SukiDesign or any third party.
2. Data we collect
We collect nothing. The App has no analytics, no telemetry, no crash reporting, and no account system. We do not see your files, file names, device names, or network activity.
3. Data the App handles locally on your device
For the App to work, it handles the following data only on your own device:
- Device name: a label you can edit, broadcast on your local network so nearby devices can find yours. Never leaves your network.
- Device fingerprint: a random identifier generated on first launch to tell devices apart. Never leaves your network.
- Files you choose to send or receive: stored on your device's storage (by default in the Downloads/LocalDrop folder). The App does not read, index, or access files you do not explicitly select.
- App settings: your preferences (save directory, password, theme) stored locally using the OS's standard preferences API.
4. Permissions the App requests
- Local network access (required): to discover nearby devices via UDP multicast and transfer files via HTTP on your local network.
- Storage / Files: to save received files and read files you choose to send.
- Notifications (optional): to alert you when a file transfer completes.
The App does not request access to contacts, location, microphone, camera, calendar, SMS, or any other sensitive data.
5. Third-party services
The App uses no third-party SDKs, analytics, advertising, or tracking libraries. It does not communicate with any server outside your local network.
6. Children's privacy
The App does not collect any data from anyone, including children under 13. It is safe to use at any age.
7. Changes to this policy
If this policy is updated, the revised version will be published at https://localdrop.dev/privacy/ with a new "Last updated" date.
