Terms of Service

Welcome to Dropp (the “Service”), a small, independently run project offered free of charge. By using the Service, you’re agreeing to these Terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Service.

1. What the Service does

The Service lets two devices on the same network find each other and transfer files directly, without uploading them to a server. You’re responsible for making sure anything you send complies with applicable law.

You agree not to use the Service:

For any unlawful purpose
To transmit harmful, abusive, or malicious content
To interfere with or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure
To attempt unauthorized access to the Service or its systems

2. No guarantees

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” free of charge, with no obligation to keep running it. We don’t guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation, or that any given transfer will succeed. Network conditions between two devices are outside our control.

3. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service, including lost files or a failed transfer. Your total possible claim is limited to the amount you paid to use the Service, which is zero.

4. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the update.

Privacy Policy

Here’s what happens to your information when you use Dropp.

1. What we see

The signaling relay that helps two devices find each other only sees the connection metadata needed to do that: a device alias, a room grouping derived from your network address, and the technical handshake data WebRTC requires. It never sees file names, file contents, or file sizes.

2. Your files

Files travel directly between the two devices over a peer-to-peer connection. They’re never uploaded to, or stored on, any server we operate.

3. What stays on your device

Your device name, PIN, and room code live only in your browser’s local storage. The PIN is checked directly between devices and never gets sent to the relay. There’s no account, and nothing here is recoverable by us. It simply never left your device.

4. Third-party infrastructure

The Service runs on third-party hosting infrastructure, which may log standard technical information (like IP address) as part of normal operation. That infrastructure is subject to its own provider’s policies.

5. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect as soon as they’re posted.
