Plain-language summary: Droidwatch is an Android application security analysis platform. Use it only on files you own or are authorized to test. Analysis reports are yours; we retain only anonymized threat indicators to improve collective defenses. EU users have full GDPR rights. Contact us at [email protected] with any questions.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, submitting a file, or otherwise accessing or using the Droidwatch platform ("Service"), you ("User") confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") and our Privacy Policy. If you are acting on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the Service.

2. Contracting Parties and Data Controller

The Service is operated by the Droidwatch team ("Droidwatch," "we," "us," "our"). For EU/EEA users, Droidwatch acts as the Data Controller for personal data processed in connection with your account and usage, and as a Data Processor for content you submit for analysis (APK files and derived data). The Data Protection contact is [email protected].

Enterprise customers who require a formal Data Processing Agreement under GDPR Art. 28 may access our standard DPA at /dpa or contact us to execute a customized agreement.

3. Description of Service

Droidwatch provides static and dynamic analysis of Android application packages (APK, XAPK, AAB) and generates security reports identifying potential vulnerabilities, malicious behaviors, network indicators of compromise (IOCs), and risk scores. The Service includes:

Important: Analysis results are probabilistic outputs of automated systems. They may contain false positives or false negatives. Reports do not constitute legal advice, certification of safety, or a guarantee that a file is free of malicious code.

Analysis reports generated for your submitted files belong to you. You grant Droidwatch a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to process submitted files and generate reports, and to use anonymized, aggregated indicators derived from submissions to improve detection capabilities and threat intelligence.

Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of your submitted files or the intellectual property therein to Droidwatch.

12. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Droidwatch does not warrant that:

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability to the extent that applicable law does not permit such exclusion or limitation.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Droidwatch, its operators, employees, and contractors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, consequential, or punitive damages — including but not limited to loss of profits, data, goodwill, or business — arising from or related to your use of or inability to use the Service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Where liability cannot be excluded by law (including for EU consumers under applicable consumer protection legislation), our total aggregate liability for any claim arising from these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the greater of (a) the fees you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim or (b) EUR 100.

14. Termination

You may close your account at any time from the account settings page or by contacting us. Upon closure, your personal data and analysis runs will be deleted per the retention schedule in the Privacy Policy.

Droidwatch may suspend or terminate your access immediately, without prior notice, if you materially breach these Terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or if required by law. We will attempt to notify you at the email address associated with your account where legally permissible.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes to our Service, legal requirements, or business practices. For material changes, we will provide at least 30 days' notice via the email address associated with your account and/or a prominent notice in the Service. For EU/EEA users, continued use after the notice period constitutes acceptance only where permitted by applicable law; otherwise explicit re-consent will be sought where required.

The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the current version took effect. Previous versions are available upon request at [email protected].

16. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by applicable law. For EU/EEA users, mandatory consumer protection provisions of your country of residence apply and cannot be waived by these Terms. For Enterprise agreements, the governing law and jurisdiction may be specified in the applicable Master Service Agreement.

We will attempt to resolve any dispute arising out of these Terms or the Service through good-faith negotiation. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally within 30 days of written notice, either party may pursue available legal remedies.

Nothing in this section prevents you from seeking injunctive or other urgent relief from a court of competent jurisdiction.
