Effective 5 November 2026.

EDAM, the Elite Dangerous Android Monitor, is published by Indevlin, LLC (“Indevlin”, “we”, “us”). This policy covers the EDAM app for Android: what it keeps on your device, what it sends and to whom, and what Indevlin receives.

In short

• Indevlin runs no server for EDAM and collects no personal data from it. There is no account to create.
• What EDAM shows comes from EDLD on your own computer, over a direct, encrypted connection that passes through no one else.
• Unless you have bought ad removal, EDAM shows ads from Google AdMob. Google’s ads software collects device data to serve them, as described below. Where the law requires your consent first, EDAM asks for it before any ad is requested.
• The one-time ad removal purchase is handled by Google Play. Indevlin never sees your name, email address or payment details.
• Indevlin sees only totals from Google — revenue, ad impressions, installs — never information about you.

What stays on your device

EDAM keeps these in its private app storage on your device. They are not copied to any backup, and uninstalling EDAM deletes them.

• The computer you paired with: its name, the addresses you chose for it, and the fingerprint of its key.
• EDAM’s own key, created in the Android Keystore. It never leaves the device.
• The last information received from your computer, so it can be shown (dimmed) when EDAM opens.
• Your settings: theme and style.
• Whether ad removal has been bought, so ads stay hidden in the moment before Google Play confirms it.
• Your answer to the ad consent message, kept by Google’s consent software.

“Forget this computer” in Settings deletes the pairing.

Your connection to EDLD

EDAM connects only to the addresses in the pairing code, which you can edit, and to nothing else on your network. The connection is encrypted with TLS 1.3, and each end checks the other’s key. It carries what EDLD on your computer chooses to share — your commander, ship, location, cargo, route, alerts and the like — and the actions you take in EDAM, such as plotting a route or pressing a control. None of it passes through Indevlin or any other service.

What EDLD does on your computer, including the outside services it can use when you ask for something from EDAM (plotting a route, for example), is covered by the EDLD Privacy Policy.

Advertising: Google AdMob

Unless ad removal has been bought, EDAM shows a banner ad served by Google AdMob. To serve, limit and measure ads and to prevent fraud, Google’s Mobile Ads SDK collects and sends to Google:

• your device’s advertising ID (or, where that is unavailable, an app set ID);
• your IP address, which Google may use to estimate your general location;
• information about your device and EDAM — model, Android version, language, app version — and how ads in EDAM are shown and tapped;
• diagnostic information about the ads SDK’s own performance.

Google uses this as described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and the Google Privacy Policy. Where you consent, Google may also use it to personalize the ads you see. Ads in EDAM are limited to Google’s “T” (teen) content rating.

Indevlin does not receive any of this. AdMob gives Indevlin totals only — earnings, impressions and clicks by date, country, app and ad unit — never information about a person or a device.

Your choices

• In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, EDAM shows Google’s consent message the first time it opens, and no ad is requested until it has been answered. If you do not consent, Google shows only limited, non-personalized ads, where the law permits them.
• In US states with privacy laws, you can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for advertising.
• In both cases, Settings → Ad privacy choices in EDAM opens Google’s form, so you can change your answer or opt out at any time.
• In Android’s settings you can reset or delete your advertising ID, which stops it being used to personalize ads.
• Buying ad removal stops EDAM from starting Google’s ads software at all.

Ad removal: Google Play

“Remove ads”, in EDAM’s Settings, is a one-time purchase made through Google Play under Google’s terms and the Google Privacy Policy. Google handles the payment. For each order, Indevlin receives from Google the order number, the product, the price and taxes, the date, and the country of purchase. When the seller of record is not Google, Indevlin also receives the state or province and postal code needed for sales tax. Indevlin does not receive your name, email address or payment details.

EDAM checks with Google Play, from your device, whether your Google account owns ad removal. Nothing about the purchase is sent to Indevlin by the app. Indevlin keeps order records as long as tax and accounting law requires.

Google Play

EDAM is distributed through Google Play, and Google’s own privacy policy covers your use of the Play Store. Google provides Indevlin with statistics about EDAM, such as installs, uninstalls and ratings, as totals. If you have allowed your device to share usage and diagnostics with Google, Google Play may also give Indevlin reports of EDAM crashing or not responding. These include the device model, the Android version and what the app was doing, but not who you are. If you review EDAM on Google Play, your review and the name shown with it are public, and Indevlin can see and reply to it.

Scanning a pairing code

The QR code scanner is Google’s, provided by Google Play services. It runs on your device; EDAM receives only the text of the code and needs no camera permission of its own.

Permissions

EDAM asks for network access, to reach your computer and, for ads and purchases, Google. On Android 17 and later it also asks for local network access when your computer’s address is on your home network (such as 192.168.1.20), because Android now requires your permission before an app connects to a device there. EDAM uses it only to connect to the addresses you paired; it does not search for, list or connect to any other device on your network. If you decline, EDAM can still reach your computer at an address outside your network, such as a DuckDNS name, and you can allow it later in EDAM’s Settings or Android’s. Google’s ads software adds the advertising ID permission, and Google Play Billing adds its own permission for purchases. EDAM does not ask for your location, contacts, camera, microphone, files or any other data on your device.

Email

If you email Indevlin, we use your address and message only to reply, keep them only as long as that requires, and delete them on request.

What we never do

Indevlin does not sell or share personal data, uses no analytics or tracking of its own in EDAM, and builds no profile of you.

Security

The connection to your computer is encrypted and both ends’ keys are checked. EDAM’s private key is held in the Android Keystore and cannot be copied off the device.

Children

EDAM is made for players of Elite Dangerous and is not directed at children under 13. Indevlin does not knowingly collect information from children.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know, access, correct or delete personal data, and to object to or withdraw consent for its use. Indevlin holds no personal data from EDAM beyond the order records and emails described above; ask us about those. For data collected by Google, use the choices above and Google’s own account controls.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it, and significant changes are noted in EDAM’s release notes.
