Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 18, 2026
LoopStream is built to be private by design. It is a local-first file sharing app: your files move directly between your own devices over your Wi-Fi network, or through an end-to-end encrypted relay when you choose remote access. We do not host, store, or have access to your files.
The short version
- Your files never touch our servers. Sharing happens device-to-device.
- No account is required to use LoopStream.
- We don’t sell your data or use it for advertising.
- Local sharing works fully offline and involves no third parties.
Information we do not collect
We do not collect, upload, or retain the contents of the files or folders you share, the names of those files, or a log of your transfers. When two devices share on the same network, that traffic stays on your local network and is never sent to us.
Information we do process
To operate the app and website, a limited amount of data is processed:
- Remote relay (optional, Pro): If you enable sharing “anywhere,” your connection is routed through an encrypted relay so a remote device can reach your host. The relay passes encrypted data through; it is not stored, and file contents are not readable by us.
- Temporary share links: If you create a time-limited share link, we store the link’s metadata (its code, permission level, and expiry) so the link can be validated and revoked. No file content or absolute file paths are stored.
- Anonymous usage analytics: The website may record basic, aggregated events (such as a download button click) to help us understand interest. This is not tied to your identity.
- Crash and diagnostic data: The mobile and desktop apps may collect anonymous diagnostics to fix bugs.
Subscriptions and payments
LoopStream Pro is sold exclusively through Apple’s App Store using In-App Purchases. Payments are processed by Apple — we never see your card or billing details. Subscription status is managed via RevenueCat, which receives a non-identifying purchase token to tell the app whether Pro is active. You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime in your Apple ID settings.
Permissions the app may request
- Local network: to discover and connect to devices on your Wi-Fi.
- Location (iOS): only used, where iOS requires it, to read the name of the Wi-Fi network you’re on and to find nearby devices. Your location is not collected or stored.
- Camera: to scan a pairing QR code (only when you choose to).
- Photos / Files: to let you pick what to share. Access is yours to grant and revoke.
Data retention
Because we don’t store your files, there’s nothing for us to retain. Temporary share-link metadata is deleted when the link expires or you revoke it. Aggregated analytics are kept only in summarized form.
Children’s privacy
LoopStream is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the app evolves. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date above.
