Privacy Policy — LocalDrop
Last updated: 10 November 2026
1. Introduction
LocalDrop is a free Android application developed by theXcoder.
We respect your privacy and believe that sharing files between your own devices should be simple and private.
This Privacy Policy explains how LocalDrop handles information and files.
2. Personal Information
LocalDrop does not require users to create an account or register.
The application is designed to operate locally, without sending your files to the developer’s servers.
LocalDrop does not intentionally collect personal information for advertising, marketing or user profiling.
3. File Transfers
LocalDrop allows users to transfer files, photos, text and links between devices connected to the same local network.
Files are transferred directly between connected devices.
The application does not use external cloud storage for these transfers.
Files received through LocalDrop may be saved on the receiving device.
Users are responsible for managing and deleting their own transferred files.
4. Local Network Access
LocalDrop creates a temporary local web server on your Android device.
When the server is active, other devices that can reach its network address may be able to connect.
Depending on the available application features and settings, connected devices may be able to send or access shared content.
We recommend using LocalDrop only on trusted private networks.
Users should stop the server when it is not needed.
5. Device Permissions
LocalDrop may request Android permissions necessary for its functionality.
These may include:
- Network access
- Access to files selected by the user
- Access to photos or other media when required
Permissions are used to provide the application’s features.
6. Data Storage
LocalDrop may store application settings and received files locally on your device.
The developer does not operate a cloud storage service for transferred files.
Removing the application may remove locally stored application data, depending on Android’s storage rules.
Files saved outside the application’s private storage may remain on the device.
7. Third-Party Services
LocalDrop is designed to operate without external accounts or cloud services.
The application does not intentionally share transferred content with advertising companies or data brokers.
If third-party services are introduced in future versions, this Privacy Policy will be updated.
8. Security
We take privacy seriously, but no software or network connection can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
LocalDrop is intended for use on trusted local networks.
Users are responsible for choosing appropriate networks and deciding which files to share.
We recommend avoiding transfers of sensitive information over public or untrusted networks.
9. Children’s Privacy
LocalDrop is not specifically designed for children.
The application does not intentionally collect personal information from children.
10. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability
LocalDrop is free software provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis.
The developer makes no guarantee that the application will be free from errors, interruptions or security vulnerabilities.
Users are responsible for maintaining backups of important files and for using the application on trusted networks.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the developer is not responsible for accidental data loss, failed transfers, unauthorised access caused by insecure user networks, or other damages resulting from the use of the application.
Nothing in this policy excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated when the application changes or new features are introduced.
The latest version will be available on the developer’s website.
