Privacy Policy

Plain-English summary

Data collection and sharing

DucyDrive does not upload USB or device-file contents, filenames, device serial numbers, advertising identifiers, Android identifiers, contact information, location or account credentials to the developer, and does not sell them. An explicit Open with, Share or export action can provide your selected file or report to the app or destination you choose; review that destination’s privacy practices. DucyDrive contains no advertising, analytics, crash-reporting, or user-account SDK.

User-selected files and USB devices

You may explicitly select a source file or destination through Android’s system document picker. DucyDrive accesses that item only to perform the requested backup, image-writing, restore, verification, or report-export operation. The app does not upload those files to the developer.

Version 2.6.5 also provides native device-file browsing. Shared-storage permission is granted in Android Settings when needed; protected Android folders remain restricted. File preview, search, copying, archives and content checks run locally. Open with and Share use a verified temporary copy or limited read-only access to the selected original. Temporary shared copies and future access can be cleared in Explorer Options; another app may retain a file it already received or has open.

USB operations require a compatible USB mass-storage device and permission through Android’s USB host prompt. Destructive operations require an additional in-app confirmation.

Google Play Billing

The optional permanent Premium product is sold through Google Play Billing. Google Play processes the transaction and provides product, purchase-state, and purchase-token information needed to grant and restore access. DucyDrive does not receive or store payment-card details.

Information stored on the device

Operation state, privacy-safe results, preferences, and protected recovery metadata may be stored privately on the device. Current editions use a permanent small-media free-format boundary, not a per-installation Smart Format allowance. Private app information is removed when you clear app storage or uninstall. Exported reports, backups, and images remain under your control in the selected document provider.

Optional Google Play reviews in version 2.6.5

The app may occasionally ask Google Play to offer a review after several separate days of completed work. Reviews are optional. DucyDrive stores only local successful-use counts and request dates for this purpose, not your opinion, rating, file names or file paths. Google handles any review you submit under its own terms. A request does not tell DucyDrive whether you submitted a rating.

Deletion and control

DucyDrive does not maintain a remote account database. Remove locally stored app information by clearing application storage or uninstalling the app. Delete exported files from the location where you saved them.

Optional support-website analytics

Updated November 1, 2026. This section applies to this support website, not the Android app. Google Analytics is off until you choose Enable analytics. If enabled, Google receives page views, basic browser/device information, and clicks on Google Play links, and uses first-party analytics cookies to estimate visitors and sessions. Google receives network information when your browser contacts its servers. We do not send names, email addresses, file contents, complete referring URLs, page query strings, or payment details in our configured events. Advertising personalization and Google signals are disabled in the website tag.

Use Disable analytics in the footer at any time to stop collection and clear this site's analytics cookies. Your preference is stored locally. Browsers with Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track enabled are not tracked. Guide and manual files are unchanged and are not instrumented by this update. Analytics reports count participating visitors only; blockers and declined consent reduce coverage. Google Play links carry campaign tags so aggregate acquisition reports can distinguish website referrals. A click is not proof of a completed install or purchase. See Google's privacy policy.

Policy changes and contact

If these practices change, this policy and the corresponding Google Play Data Safety declaration will be updated before the changed release is distributed. Privacy questions may be sent to mjducy@gmail.com.
