emDroid Browser — Privacy Policy
Last updated: 14 November 2026
emDroid Browser (“the app”) is an unofficial, third-party Android client that lets you use a cloud-connected embroidery machine service from your phone. This policy explains what the app does with your information.
The short version
- The app has no servers that collect your data and contains no analytics, advertising, or third-party trackers.
- Your account credentials and session are handled by the service’s own website, loaded inside the app. The app stores your session token only on your device, to make requests to that service on your behalf.
- The app does not send your personal data to the developer or any third party.
What is stored on your device
- Session token / cookies for the service you sign into, kept in the app’s private storage so you stay signed in. You can clear these any time from Android Settings → Apps → emDroid Browser → Storage, or by signing out.
- App settings (theme, layout preferences) in the app’s private storage.
- Downloaded pattern files, saved where you choose, at your request.
This data stays on your device. Uninstalling the app removes the app’s private storage.
Network connections the app makes
- The embroidery service you use. All sign-in, machine, and pattern activity goes directly between your device and that service, exactly as it would in a web browser. Its own privacy policy governs how it handles your data.
- Configuration file (optional). On launch the app may fetch a small, static configuration file from the developer’s server so it can adapt to service changes without an update. This request contains no account data or personal identifiers and sends no cookies or tokens.
Permissions
- Internet / network state — to load the service and the optional configuration file.
- Camera (on demand, optional) — only if you use the QR-scan option when adding a machine, to read the machine’s serial number. Nothing from the camera is stored or transmitted by the app.
Children
The app is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here with a new date.
