DropBay talks to your NAS and nothing else. The developer runs no server for it and receives none of your data.
Who is responsible
DropBay is made by David Eperjes. For anything about this policy or your data, write to dropbay@eperjes.com.
What DropBay keeps on your phone
- The name and addresses of each NAS you add, and the certificate keys you chose to trust.
- Your DSM account name and password. The password is encrypted with a key held in your phone's secure hardware.
- If you use two-step sign-in and ask DSM to remember the phone, the device token DSM gives back.
- Torrents and links you add while your NAS can't be reached, until they are sent.
- Your settings, such as whether the downloads list is grouped by status.
Account details are left out of Android backups and device-to-device transfers, so they never leave the phone that way.
What DropBay sends, and where
Everything goes to the NAS you set up, over HTTPS, and to no one else: your sign-in, the torrent files and links you choose to add, the files and folder you pick, and commands such as pause, resume and delete. DropBay reads the list of downloads back from Download Station to show it to you.
To find Synology units on your Wi‑Fi, DropBay sends a standard search on your local network. The search carries no password, account name or other personal data.
What DropBay does not do
- No ads, no analytics and no tracking.
- No account with the developer, and no DropBay server.
- It reads your clipboard only when you tap Paste.
- Notifications never show a download's name on the lock screen.
DropBay does not send crash reports today. If a later version adds them, this page will say what they contain before that version is released, and you will be able to turn them off.
Permissions
- Internet and network state, to reach your NAS and notice when the connection changes.
- Nearby devices on your local network and Wi‑Fi multicast, to find your NAS on your Wi‑Fi.
- Notifications, to tell you when a download finishes. You can refuse this.
Deleting your data
All of it is on your phone. Removing a NAS from DropBay deletes what was stored for it. Clearing the app's storage or uninstalling DropBay deletes everything. The developer holds no copy. Downloads on your NAS stay under your control in Download Station.
Children
DropBay is not directed at children and does not knowingly handle children's data.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version appears on this page with a new date.
