Privacy

We don't track you.

Last updated · 27 April 2026

TL;DR

  • The macOS app collects nothing. No telemetry, no crash reports, no auto-updates, no phone-home. Ever.
  • This website sets no cookies and uses Vercel Web Analytics, which counts page views in aggregate without fingerprinting or cross-site tracking.

The two sections below describe each surface in full detail. They are intentionally separate because they have very different privacy footprints.

1. The macOS app (ADB Studio)

ADB Studio is a local SwiftUI application that runs entirely on your Mac. Once installed it is a self-contained client for the Android Debug Bridge — its data flow is between your Mac and your Android devices, nothing else.

What the app collects from you

Nothing. The app does not register you, does not ask for an email, does not generate a device or installation identifier, and does not maintain a server-side profile of any kind.

What the app sends over the network

  • To your Android devices, over the standard adb protocol (USB or your local Wi-Fi). This traffic stays on your machine and your local network.
  • Nothing else. No telemetry endpoint, no crash reporter, no analytics SDK, no remote configuration, no automatic update check. The app makes zero outbound calls to any server we operate.

Why the GDPR sections below don't apply to the app

Because no personal data ever leaves your Mac through the app, there is no controller-to-processor relationship to disclose, no retention period to define, and no cross-border transfer to document. You can verify this yourself — the source code is public at github.com/Zaphkiel-Ivanovna/adb-studio.

2. This website (adb-studio.app)

The marketing site you are reading right now is a separate surface. It is a static site hosted on Vercel and is the only ADB Studio surface that processes any visitor data at all. Everything in this section applies only to your visit to this website.

What we collect

  • Server access logs recorded by Vercel's edge network (IP address, User-Agent, URL, timestamp), used for security and abuse prevention. Retained briefly, not cross-referenced with any identity.
  • Cookieless page-view counts via Vercel Web Analytics. No cookies are set. Vercel derives a daily anonymous identifier from a salted hash of IP + User-Agent (the salt rotates every 24 hours), then discards the raw IP. No fingerprinting, no cross-site tracking, not used for advertising. Details in Vercel's analytics privacy policy.
  • Google Fonts requests. The site loads Inter and JetBrains Mono from fonts.googleapis.com. Google sees your IP address when your browser fetches them; Google's own privacy policy governs that request.

There is no first-party analytics beyond what's described above, no third-party advertising tag, no A/B testing, and no behavioural tracking.

Legal basis (GDPR Art. 6)

We rely on our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) to operate the website, secure it against abuse, and measure aggregate audience. Because the analytics solution is cookieless and strictly limited to audience measurement, it falls under the CNIL's exemption from prior consent for compliant audience-measurement tools (Art. 82 of the French Data Protection Act).

Retention

  • Edge access logs: short rolling window kept by Vercel.
  • Vercel Web Analytics aggregates: up to 12 months depending on plan tier.
  • The salted IP+UA hash itself is rotated and invalidated daily.

International transfers

Vercel Inc. is based in the United States. Your visit data may therefore be processed in the US. Transfers rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (in which Vercel is enrolled) and on Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable. Google Fonts requests are subject to Google's own transfer mechanisms.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you may exercise the following rights with respect to data processed by this website: access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction (Art. 18), objection (Art. 21), and portability (Art. 20). You may also lodge a complaint with the CNIL or your local supervisory authority.

Note: because the analytics data we receive is already anonymised and aggregated, we usually cannot link it back to a specific person, which limits what we can practically retrieve for an access or erasure request.

Third parties involved on this website

  • Vercel Inc. — hosting, edge delivery and cookieless Web Analytics. Data Processing Agreement.
  • Google LLC — Google Fonts (CSS + font files served from fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com).
  • GitHub Inc. — distribution of the .dmg and Homebrew tap. The latest release metadata is fetched at build time, not from your browser.
