SignalDrop does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. The app runs entirely on your Mac.
SignalDrop reads your local WiFi state (network name, signal strength, connection status) through Apple's public CoreWLAN and Network frameworks. This data is used solely to display status information and send local notifications on your Mac.
macOS requires Location Services permission for apps to read WiFi network names (SSID). SignalDrop requests this permission solely to display your network name in the menu bar and notifications. Your geographic location is never determined, stored, logged, or transmitted.
WiFi connection events (connect, disconnect, signal changes) are stored in a local SQLite database on your Mac at ~/Library/Application Support/SignalDrop/events.db. This data never leaves your device. You can export it as CSV or delete it at any time.
SignalDrop makes zero network requests. No analytics. No telemetry. No update checks. No data is sent to any server, ever.
SignalDrop does not use any third-party analytics, crash reporting, or advertising services.
