TorrentX

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 22, 2026

Last Updated: May 22, 2026

TorrentX is a completely free, open-source Android application that provides high-performance BitTorrent downloading and intelligent media downloading with a focus on privacy, speed, and simplicity.

1. What TorrentX Does

TorrentX offers full BitTorrent support using the powerful libtorrent4j engine, intelligent media downloading from popular platforms, automatic 4K/HDR muxing with FFmpeg, sequential downloading, background execution via WorkManager and Foreground Services, and advanced I/O optimization using Zero-Copy DirectByteBuffer technology.

2. Anonymous Diagnostics & Crash Reporting

To ensure TorrentX runs smoothly and to help us quickly identify bugs in our native C++ engine, we utilize Google Firebase Crashlytics. If the app encounters a fatal error or crash, the following anonymous data is automatically collected:

• Crash Logs & Stack Traces: Information detailing exactly which line of code caused the app to fail.
• Device Diagnostics: Non-identifying device states at the time of the crash, such as device model, OS version, orientation, and available RAM/storage.
• Installation UUID: A randomly generated, anonymous identifier used solely to count how many individual devices are affected by a specific bug.

This data is strictly utilized for analytics and stability improvements. It is encrypted in transit, processed securely on Google's servers, and is never used for advertising or cross-app tracking.

3. Information We Do NOT Collect

• No names, emails, phone numbers, or any personal identifiers.
• No advertising IDs or device fingerprinting.
• No cloud accounts or login systems.
• No browsing history or tracking of the files you download.

4. Technical Information Processed Locally

The following information is handled only on your device:

• Magnet links, .torrent files, and media URLs you manually add.
• Peer-to-peer connections required by the BitTorrent protocol.
• Download progress, resume data, and local settings stored in SQLite.

Your IP address may be visible to other peers and trackers as part of normal BitTorrent operation — this is unavoidable in any torrent client.

5. Required Android Permissions & Their Purpose

• INTERNET — To connect to peers, trackers, and media servers.
• ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE — To enforce WiFi-Only mode.
• READ/WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE — To save downloaded files and read .torrent files.
• FOREGROUND_SERVICE — To keep downloads running in the background.
• POST_NOTIFICATIONS — To show download progress and status.
• WAKE_LOCK — To prevent the device from sleeping during active file writing.

6. Your Privacy Controls

You have complete control over your privacy:

• WiFi-Only mode, speed throttling, and battery saver.
• Encryption modes and proxy support (SOCKS5, HTTP).
• Port randomization and peer discovery controls.
• Option to stop seeding at 100% to save bandwidth.
• Full ability to delete all downloads and app data locally.
