DROP

Private tools for the device in front of you.

Privacy

Plain-English policy

Privacy without fine print.

DROP is designed to answer simple device questions without turning your results into a data product.

Site & tools

There are no accounts and no application database. Tools primarily process information locally in your browser. We do not intentionally collect or store tool inputs or results. Some ordinary hosting infrastructure may still process standard request data such as your IP address, requested URL and browser headers.

Camera and microphone

Access begins only after you choose to start a test and approve the browser permission. Microphone audio is analysed locally for a live level and is not recorded. Webcam video appears only in your local preview and is not recorded. Tracks are stopped when you end a test or leave the page.

Public IP exception

A browser cannot normally discover its public IP address entirely locally. If you choose to run the IP tool, your browser sends a request directly to ipify. ipify necessarily receives your public IP address and standard request information in order to return the result. DROP does not proxy or store this result, and no request is made until you press the continue button. Please review ipify’s privacy policy for how that third party handles request data.

Analytics

DROP uses Google Analytics, a third-party service, to understand aggregate website usage and product interaction. Analytics records page visits and limited actions such as opening a tool, starting a test or using a copy button. Custom events identify only the tool involved; tool inputs, detected information, copied contents and tool results are not intentionally sent as Analytics event data. Google may process standard request and device information and may use cookies or similar identifiers under its own terms and privacy practices.

Storage

DROP does not use local storage or cookies to save tool results. A small local browser preference remembers whether you selected the light or dark theme; it contains no tool input or result. Browser permission choices are controlled and may be remembered by your browser, not by DROP.
