Privacy Policy
This policy explains what data the Zorrent app for Android handles, why, and the choices you have. Zorrent is developed by Najam (najmiter), referred to here as “we” or “us”.
The short version
- Zorrent has no accounts and no analytics of its own. We don’t run servers that receive your data.
- Your torrents, settings and downloaded files stay on your device.
- Zorrent shows ads served by Google AdMob. Google may collect device identifiers and usage data to show and measure ads, as described below.
- BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer protocol: your IP address is visible to the peers and trackers you connect to.
1. Scope
This policy applies to the Zorrent app for Android (package com.najmiter.zorrent) and to this website. It does not cover the websites, trackers or peers you reach through torrents, or third-party services with their own policies, such as Google.
2. Data kept on your device
To work, Zorrent stores the following on your device only. None of it is sent to us.
- Your torrent list: magnet links, torrent metadata, which files you selected, download progress and queue order, kept so downloads continue after the app restarts.
- Settings: download folder, number of simultaneous downloads, the Wi-Fi only preference, and a running total of data downloaded.
- Downloaded files: saved to
Download/Zorrentby default, or to a folder you choose. - Network cache: a list of known peers (the DHT routing table) to connect faster next time.
If Android backup is enabled on your device, only Zorrent’s settings are included in your Google account backup. Torrent lists and downloaded files are excluded.
3. The BitTorrent network
Downloading a torrent means connecting directly to other people’s devices. When you add a torrent, Zorrent contacts the trackers listed in it, the distributed hash table (DHT) and other peers. Those parties can see your IP address, the torrent you’re sharing and what parts you have. While a torrent is active, other peers can download pieces of it from you.
We don’t operate these trackers or peers and can’t control what they record. Zorrent does not hide your IP address. If that matters to you, use a VPN you trust.
4. Advertising (Google AdMob)
Zorrent is free and shows ads using Google AdMob, a service of Google LLC. To serve, limit and measure ads, and to prevent fraud, the AdMob SDK in the app may collect and send to Google:
- Device identifiers, including your Android Advertising ID
- Your IP address, and the approximate location derived from it
- Device and app information, such as model, OS version, language and app version
- Interactions with ads, such as views and taps
- Diagnostics, such as crash logs and performance data related to ads
Google handles this data under its own Privacy Policy. You can learn how Google uses information from apps that use its services.
Your choices
- Consent: where the law requires it, including in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, Zorrent asks for your consent before personalised ads are shown. You can change your choice later from the app.
- Personalised ads: you can reset or delete your Advertising ID in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads (the exact path varies by device). With it deleted, you’ll still see ads, but they won’t be personalised.
- Google ad settings: manage how Google personalises ads at My Ad Center.
5. Permissions
| Permission | Why Zorrent needs it |
|---|---|
| Internet and network state | To download torrents, to pause when you choose Wi-Fi only, and to load ads. |
| Notifications | To show download progress and tell you when a download finishes. You can turn this off. |
| Foreground service (data sync) | So downloads you started keep running when you leave the app. It stops once nothing is downloading. |
| Keep device awake | To stop the device from sleeping mid-download while a download is running. |
| Advertising ID | Used by Google AdMob to show and measure ads, as described above. |
Zorrent doesn’t request access to your contacts, location, camera, microphone or photos, and can’t read files other apps created.
7. Retention and deletion
- Removing a torrent in Zorrent deletes its saved state. You can also choose to delete its downloaded files.
- Clearing the app’s storage, or uninstalling it, deletes everything Zorrent stored privately. Downloaded files in your Download folder stay until you delete them, so you don’t lose them by accident.
- Data collected by Google for ads is kept according to Google’s policies. You can manage or delete it through your Google account and the choices in section 4.
8. Security
Zorrent’s private data lives in storage that other apps can’t access. Data sent to Google for ads is transmitted over encrypted connections. BitTorrent traffic between peers is generally not encrypted, so others on your network may be able to see what you download.
9. Children
Zorrent isn’t directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child’s data has reached us, contact us and we’ll help.
10. Your rights
Depending on where you live, laws such as the GDPR or CCPA give you rights to access, correct, delete, or object to the processing of your personal data. Since we don’t hold your data, most requests are handled directly on your device (section 7) or with Google (section 4). If you have questions or a request, contact us and we’ll respond within 30 days.
12. Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we’ll update the date at the top of this page. If a change affects how your data is handled, we’ll also mention it in the app or its release notes.
