Privacy Policy
Crypto Drop does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. The only network request is fetching cryptocurrency prices.
Overview
Crypto Drop is a macOS menu bar application developed by Good Bar. It displays live cryptocurrency prices in your menu bar. We take your privacy seriously and have built the app with privacy as a core principle.
Data Collection
Crypto Drop does not collect any personal data. Specifically:
- No personal information is collected
- No usage analytics or telemetry is collected
- No advertising identifiers are used
- No cookies or tracking technologies are used
- No financial data is stored beyond your selected coin and its last fetched price
Data Storage
All app data is stored locally on your Mac using macOS UserDefaults. This data never leaves your device.
The following information is stored locally:
- Your selected cryptocurrency (e.g. Bitcoin)
- Your refresh interval preference
- The last fetched price (for offline display)
- The previous price (for direction indicator)
- Your launch-at-login preference
Network Access
Crypto Drop connects to the internet solely to fetch cryptocurrency prices. The app makes requests to the CoinGecko public API (api.coingecko.com), which provides cryptocurrency market data.
These requests contain only the coin being queried (e.g. "bitcoin") and the display currency (e.g. "usd"). No personal information, device identifiers, or tracking data is included in these requests.
Third-Party Services
Crypto Drop uses one third-party service:
- CoinGecko API (coingecko.com) — A public cryptocurrency data API that provides price and market data. No API key or authentication is required for the free tier. CoinGecko's privacy practices are governed by its own privacy policy.
No other third-party services, SDKs, or analytics frameworks are used.
App Sandbox
Crypto Drop runs within the macOS App Sandbox, which limits the app's access to system resources. The app only uses the outgoing network connection entitlement (to fetch prices), the menu bar, and local preferences storage.
Children's Privacy
Crypto Drop does not collect data from anyone, including children under the age of 13. The app is safe for users of all ages.
