Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Drop ("Drop," "we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, and shares information about you when you use the Drop: Clearance Finder mobile application (the "App") and related services (together, the "Services").

By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

1. Information we collect

Information you provide

  • Account information. When you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive your name (if you choose to share it), an email address, and a unique identifier from the sign-in provider.
  • Profile preferences. Your home ZIP code, preferred search radius, and notification preferences.
  • Saved activity. Deals you bookmark, deals for which you check local stock, and the store you select for directions.

Information collected automatically

  • Device and usage data. App version, iOS version, device model, session events (launches, screen views, feature taps), and timestamps.
  • Approximate location via ZIP. We use the ZIP code you provide to query nearby-store inventory. We do not collect precise device location and do not access your device's GPS.
  • Diagnostics. Aggregated crash and performance data used to keep the App reliable.

2. How we use information

  • To authenticate you and keep your session secure.
  • To show clearance deals and check retailer inventory near your ZIP.
  • To sync your bookmarks and stock-check history across devices.
  • To measure product usage and improve the App (via analytics events described below).
  • To provide support, prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations.

3. Third parties

We share limited information with the following service providers, each acting on our behalf:

  • Apple & Google. For Sign in with Apple and Sign in with Google, respectively. Their handling of your data is governed by their own privacy policies.
  • Mixpanel. Product analytics — session events, screen views, feature interactions. Events are tied to your account identifier (not name or email).
  • Hosting providers. Our servers run on infrastructure providers used to host the backend API and this website.
  • Retailer stock APIs. When you tap "Check Local Stock," we forward the product SKU and your ZIP to the retailer's publicly available inventory endpoint (Home Depot, Lowe's, Target, or Walmart). We do not share your name, email, or account identifier with retailers.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-app advertising.

4. Data retention

Your account, bookmarks, and stock-check history are retained for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account from the App's Settings screen, we delete your account record, associated bookmarks, and stock-check history from our systems. Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone.

5. Your choices

  • Access and correction. You can review or update your ZIP, search radius, and alert preferences from the Settings screen.
  • Deletion. Tap "Delete account" in Settings to permanently remove your data. You can also contact us using the email below.
  • Notifications. You can toggle fresh-deal alerts in Settings; system notification permission is controlled through iOS Settings.

6. Children

The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

7. Security

We use industry-standard safeguards to protect data in transit (TLS) and at rest. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. International users

The Services are operated in the United States. If you access them from outside the U.S., your information will be transferred to, processed, and stored in the U.S., which may have different data protection laws than your jurisdiction.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be surfaced in the App or via email.
