Seedly
Privacy policy
Seedly collects no personal data. This page explains what the app and this website do and do not do.
The short version
Seedly talks only to the Transmission, qBittorrent and Deluge servers and RSS feeds you add yourself. The developer does not receive, collect, store or share any data from the app. There are no accounts, no analytics, no crash reporting and no advertising.
Who is responsible
The app is published by [Company name], [address], [registration number]. This is a placeholder and will be completed before release.
What the app does on your device
- It connects directly from your phone to the Transmission, qBittorrent and Deluge servers you configure, using the address and credentials you enter. Nothing is sent through a server operated by the developer.
- Server passwords and the full addresses of RSS feeds (which may contain a personal key) are stored in the secure storage of your device (iOS Keychain, Android Keystore).
- Server names, addresses, ports and usernames, the list of your RSS feeds (name and website) and your language and theme choices are stored on your device so the app can show them. Deleting a server or a feed removes its data; removing the app removes everything.
- The torrent list and other data received from your servers are kept in memory while the app runs and are not saved to your device.
- If you choose a .torrent file, the app reads it on your device and sends it only to the server you pick.
Data that leaves your device
- Requests to your own Transmission, qBittorrent and Deluge servers (for example the torrent list, controls and settings). They go to the address you entered. The app also works over plain HTTP, because many home servers offer nothing else; it warns you when a server is set up without HTTPS, and traffic over plain HTTP is not encrypted. Self-signed HTTPS certificates are not supported.
- Requests to the RSS feed addresses you add, to load the feed. The host of a feed can see your IP address, as with any web request.
- Links you open from a feed item open in your device browser; what happens next is governed by the site you open.
What the app does not do
- No accounts or sign-in with the developer.
- No analytics, tracking, advertising identifiers or third-party SDKs that collect data.
- No crash or error reporting sent to the developer.
- No sale or sharing of data, because none is collected.
Permissions
The app needs network access to reach your servers and feeds. On iPhone it asks once for access to your local network, so it can reach servers at home. It does not request access to your contacts, photos, location, camera or microphone.
This website
This website sets no cookies, uses no analytics and loads no third-party resources. Like any web host, the hosting provider may process technical request data (such as your IP address) in server logs to deliver the site and keep it secure.
Children
The app is a tool for people who run their own servers and is not directed at children. It collects no personal data from anyone.
Your rights and changes
Because the developer holds no data about you, there is nothing to access, correct or delete on the developer side. All data of the app is on your device and under your control. If the app’s data handling ever changes, this page will be updated before the change is released and the date above will change.
