SaveDrop

Privacy policy

Effective 4 October 2026

Who we are

SaveDrop is made by Teerapong Suksuwan, an independent developer in Thailand ("we"). Questions about privacy: support@savedrop.app.

What SaveDrop keeps on your iPhone

SaveDrop keeps the following in its own storage on your iPhone and doesn't send it to us. Like other apps' data, it can be included in your iPhone's backups.

• History of what you saved: the link, the platform, the post's author and caption, when you saved it, how many photos and videos (and how long the videos are), a small thumbnail, the album you chose, which photos and videos of the post you saved (for web pages, their addresses), and references to them in Photos. You can turn History off (nothing new is added) or clear it in Account.
• Today's free-save count and its date, kept in the iPhone's Keychain.
• A few settings, such as whether History is on, the last album you used, which tips you've already seen, how many saves you've made in the app (to know when to show a tip), and a note that a one-time clean-up has run.
• The rules file SaveDrop uses to read posts, when it last checked for a new one and the file's version tag, so it keeps working even when it can't reach our rules server.

While you're choosing what to save, photo previews are kept in memory while SaveDrop is open, and SaveDrop's own downloads use no disk cache. Video previews play through Apple's video player, which handles its own temporary data while playing. Downloads are held in temporary files, which SaveDrop tries to delete when saving finishes or fails; if SaveDrop is closed in the middle, or a file can't be deleted, it stays until iOS removes it. Apple also keeps your App Store purchase records on your iPhone, so SaveDrop can check Pro without a connection.

Trial reminder

When you start the free 7-day trial in SaveDrop, it asks to send you notifications and, if you allow it, tries to schedule a reminder on your iPhone for five days later. If the purchase first needs someone's approval (such as Ask to Buy), no reminder is scheduled. The reminder is created by iOS on your iPhone; nothing is sent to us.

Photos

SaveDrop adds the photos and videos you choose to your Photos library. If you save into an album, it asks for access to your library so it can list your albums with their covers and create a new album when you ask. It doesn't upload, analyse or share anything from your library. To show an album's cover, Photos may download it from iCloud if it isn't on your iPhone. If you use iCloud Photos, Apple syncs what you save, as it does for any photo.

What SaveDrop connects to

• The site of the link you paste or share (for example Instagram, Facebook, X, Threads, TikTok, Pinterest, Bluesky or another web page) and the servers that host its photos and videos. SaveDrop asks them for the post and its photos and videos much as a web browser would. For photos and videos on other web pages, it tells their server which page they're on, like a browser: the page address (without anything after #) only to the same site, just the site's name to others, and nothing from a secure (https) page to an insecure (http) server. It follows browsers' default rule for this and doesn't read a page's own setting. For TikTok videos, it tells TikTok's video server only that the request comes from tiktok.com; other apps' photos and videos are requested without saying which page they're on. It keeps no cookies from these sites after SaveDrop closes. For Bluesky videos, it also asks Bluesky's public directory which server hosts the post. Like any website, these sites see your internet address, and their own privacy policies apply. Reopening an entry from History asks the site again.
• rules.savedrop.app, hosted by Cloudflare, to check for an updated rules file: normally every 6 hours, and sooner after a link couldn't be read. The request carries no information about you or what you save, only what any web request carries, such as your internet address.
• Apple, for subscriptions and purchases through the App Store. SaveDrop checks your subscription with Apple on your iPhone; we receive no payment details.

Sharing from other apps

When you share a link or a web page to SaveDrop, it reads what you shared. From Safari, it also reads the page's address, title and the list of photos and videos on it, on your iPhone, so you can choose what to save.

No logins

SaveDrop doesn't log in to Instagram, Facebook or any other site, and never asks for your password there. It asks sites for posts without signing in. When you share a web page from Safari, it uses the photos and videos on the page you're looking at.

When you write to us

"Send feedback" and "Send link" open your own mail app with a message ready for you to edit and send. "Send link" includes the text you pasted, what went wrong, and the SaveDrop and iOS versions; "Send feedback" includes the versions only if you tick the box. Nothing reaches us unless you send the e-mail. We use your message only to answer you and to fix SaveDrop, and we delete it when it's no longer needed.

What we don't do

• No accounts with us, and no identifiers made by SaveDrop to track you or your device.
• No advertising or analytics tools in SaveDrop, and we don't sell your data or share it with anyone.
• SaveDrop reads your clipboard only when you tap Paste. Before that, it only asks iOS whether a new link was copied, without seeing it. "Copy address" and "Copy link" put text on your clipboard only when you tap them.

Children

SaveDrop is not meant for children under 13.

Your rights

Under Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act and similar laws, you can ask what personal data we hold about you and ask us to delete it. Because SaveDrop doesn't send us your data, we usually hold nothing beyond e-mails you choose to send us. Write to support@savedrop.app.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top. If a change affects what SaveDrop sends from your iPhone, we'll also say so in the app.
