Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 26, 2026
Summary: CrossCopy is designed with privacy first. Your transfers stay on your local network, are encrypted end-to-end, and we collect minimal anonymous analytics that you can disable.
Information We Collect
CrossCopy collects minimal information to improve the app:
- Anonymous Usage Analytics: We use TelemetryDeck to collect anonymous, aggregated usage data such as app launches, feature usage, and error rates. This data cannot identify you personally.
- No Personal Data: We do not collect names, email addresses, device identifiers, or any content you transfer.
- No Transfer Content: The text, images, and files you send between devices are never transmitted to our servers.
How Your Data Stays Private
- Local Network Only: All transfers happen directly between your devices over your local Wi-Fi network using Apple's MultipeerConnectivity framework.
- End-to-End Encryption: Transfers are encrypted using industry-standard CryptoKit (X25519 key exchange and AES-GCM encryption). Only your paired devices can decrypt the content.
- No Cloud Storage: Your transferred content is never uploaded to any cloud service or server.
- No Account Required: CrossCopy works without creating an account or signing in.
Analytics Opt-Out
You can completely disable analytics at any time:
- Open CrossCopy
- Go to Settings
- Toggle off "Send Anonymous Analytics"
When disabled, no usage data is collected or transmitted.
