Legal notice and privacy

This page is published from France, so it carries what French law asks a site to say about who runs it and what it records. It is short because the site does little: one page, one file to download, and no account.

What this page measures

Visits are counted, with Umami running on the same server as this page rather than on anyone else's. Nothing is sent to a third party, no cookie is set, and no identifier follows you to another site.

Each visit records the page viewed, the site you arrived from, and your browser, operating system and country. The country is worked out from your IP address, which is used for that and to build a daily one-way hash that distinguishes one visitor from another for the day. The address itself is not stored.

Clicking the download button records that a download was started. It records nothing about you beyond what a visit already records.

What the server records

The web server keeps an access log so that completed downloads can be counted honestly, which is the number shown on the home page. Each line holds the file requested, the response, the number of bytes sent, and the requesting address with its last part removed, so it identifies a network of up to 256 addresses rather than a machine. The log rotates by size and old entries are discarded as it does.

Declining measurement

There is no cookie to refuse, so there is no banner. The measurement script is loaded from this site and any content blocker will stop it. To switch it off in one browser without a blocker, open its developer console on this page and run:

localStorage.setItem('umami.disabled', 1)

To ask what is held about you, or to have it removed, reach me through the link above. Since no account exists and no address is stored, there is usually nothing to look up.

The app, and what it costs you

Android Bridge is given away. There is no price, no account, no trial, and no paid version held back. You may use it for anything, at home or at work, on as many Macs as you like.

It is not open source. Please do not republish it, repackage it, or sell it on. If you want to point someone at it, point them at this site, so that what they get is the file whose checksum is published beside it.

No warranty

The app is provided as it is, with no warranty of any kind. It moves, copies and deletes files on a phone and on a Mac, and no software that does that can promise never to lose anything: a cable can be pulled, a phone can refuse a command halfway, a disk can fill.

Keep a copy of anything you would be sorry to lose before moving it. To the extent the law allows, the author accepts no liability for lost or damaged data, or for any loss arising from using the app. Nothing here removes rights you have as a consumer that cannot be signed away.

Other people's work

The app is built on open source libraries, and the full list with its licence texts is in the app itself, under Help then Acknowledgements.
