EtchDroid Google Play and GitHub builds collect minimal telemetry to investigate app issues.

While we don't collect any personally-identifying information, we believe in transparency and wantyou to know that opened image file names and USB device IDs are collected anonymously to helpdiagnose issues with specific hardware. Unless your image file names or device IDs are highlysensitive, it's safe to share this data.

If you don't want to share this data, you can disable telemetry in the app menu, or download theF-Droid version of EtchDroid.

Be a part of our open-source community—keep telemetry enabled and help improve EtchDroid foreveryone!
