GifDrop
Privacy Policy
Effective 7 November 2026
GifDrop converts your videos to GIFs and stickers on your device and does not upload them to us. Ads and purchases do use third-party services, which this policy explains. GifDrop is provided by Sufian Ahmad, trading as SufHive, Gujranwala, Pakistan ("we").
Videos, GIFs and stickers
The files you work with are processed on your device. We do not receive them.
- Videos: a video you pick is copied to temporary app storage so it can be converted.
- GIFs and thumbnails: these are stored in the app's cache. Your phone may delete them when storage is low.
- GIF history and settings: details such as duration, frame rate and file location are stored on your device.
- Sticker packs: packs, stickers, pack names and emoji tags are stored in the app's private storage.
You can delete GIFs and sticker packs in the app. Clearing the app's storage or uninstalling it removes what is left in its storage. GIFs you saved to your gallery stay there.
GifDrop has no account system, and we did not add a separate analytics or crash-reporting service.
When you share or use WhatsApp
Files leave GifDrop only when you choose. If you share a GIF, the app you choose receives it and its own policy applies.
If you add a sticker pack to WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business, that app reads the pack from GifDrop on your device. It receives the stickers, tray icon, pack name, emoji tags and accessibility text, plus the publisher name and links to our store page and this policy. GifDrop also asks WhatsApp whether a pack has been added, so it can show the pack's status. WhatsApp's privacy policy applies to what WhatsApp handles. GifDrop is not affiliated with or endorsed by WhatsApp.
Third-party services
These services process data so the app can show ads, sell Premium and stay up to date. They act under their own policies.
| Service | Purpose | Data it may process | Policy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google AdMob and User Messaging Platform | Showing ads to free users and collecting ad consent | Advertising ID, IP address, device and app information, ad interactions, consent choices | |
| Google Play Billing | Taking Premium payments | Purchase details. We do not see your full payment details. | |
| Google Play in-app updates and reviews | Offering updates and review prompts | Information Google Play needs to provide these features | |
| RevenueCat | Confirming and restoring Premium | An anonymous app user ID, purchase history and device information | RevenueCat |
Ads and your choices
Free users see ads. Premium removes them. Where consent is required, for example in the EEA and UK, GifDrop asks for your choices when it starts. Where the option applies, you can change them under privacy options in Settings. Depending on your choices and location, ads may be personalised. You can also manage your advertising ID in your Android settings.
Permissions
| Permission | Why GifDrop uses it |
|---|---|
| Internet and network state | Ads, purchases and checking whether you are online. Conversion itself does not need internet. |
| Advertising ID | Ads, subject to your choices. |
| Google Play billing | Buying Premium. |
| Storage (Android 10 and below) | Saving GIFs to your gallery on older Android versions. |
Legal bases (EEA and UK)
We rely on your consent for ad choices that require it, on performing our contract for Premium purchases, and on legitimate interests for answering support requests and keeping the app working.
Keeping data
We do not hold your videos, GIFs or stickers. We keep support emails only as long as needed to deal with your request and meet legal duties. Third-party services keep data according to their own policies.
International transfers
Google and RevenueCat may process data outside your country. Where the law requires it, those transfers rely on recognised safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or move your personal data, to object to or limit its use, and to withdraw consent. You may also complain to your local data protection authority. To use these rights, email sufhive@gmail.com. Because we do not receive your files and GifDrop has no accounts, some requests may need to go to Google or RevenueCat.
California residents
We do not sell your personal data for money. Personalised advertising through AdMob may count as "sharing" under California law. You can limit it through the app's privacy options where they apply and through your device's advertising settings. We will not treat you differently for using your rights.
Children
GifDrop is not intended for children under 16, or a higher age where local law requires it. If you believe a child has given us personal data, email us and we will delete what we hold.
Security
Your sticker packs are kept in the app's private storage, but no storage or transmission method is perfectly secure. Keep your device protected.
Changes
We will post any update on this page and change the effective date. We will ask for consent where the law requires it.
