Acceptable Use Policy
What may and may not be distributed through Hashdrop. In force from 11 August 2026.
Hashdrop distributes installable software to people's phones. That places a duty on everyone using it, and this policy is the shortest honest statement of what that duty is. It forms part of the Terms of Service.
You must not upload or distribute
- Malware, ransomware, or anything designed to gain unauthorised access to a device or its data
- Stalkerware — software for covertly monitoring another person's location, messages or activity without their knowledge and consent
- Pirated, cracked, re-signed or otherwise modified versions of software you do not hold the rights to
- Applications impersonating another company, product or person, including through a confusingly similar name, icon or package identifier
- Phishing applications, or anything designed to harvest credentials or payment details under false pretences
- Software that collects personal data without the user's knowledge and consent, or that transmits it in ways the user would not expect
- Content that is unlawful where it is distributed, including real-money gambling without the necessary licence, and anything prohibited under Indian law
- Sexual content involving minors, or intimate imagery shared without consent
- Anything that is not a mobile application build — install links are not a general file host
You must not use the Service to
- Circumvent a platform's review process for software that requires review
- Distribute at a scale or in a manner that constitutes public app distribution rather than testing and internal delivery
- Probe, scan or test the security of the Service without written permission
- Interfere with anyone else's use of it
What we do about it
We do not review uploads by hand and we do not read your builds for interest. Every uploaded artifact is scanned for known malware before it can be distributed, and a build that has not come back clean is not installable by anyone. We also validate that a file is the kind of package it claims to be, and we act on reports.
Where we find a breach we may remove content, disable install links, suspend distribution for an organisation, or terminate the account. Serious cases are acted on immediately and reported to the authorities where the law requires it.
Reporting something
Every public install page carries a report link. You can also write to info@hashmedia.in with the link and what is wrong with it. See the Takedown and grievance page for what happens next and how long it takes.
