Software Compatibility

In addition to vanilla Mastodon, Tusker has builtin support for the Glitch and Hometown variants, as well as PixelFed and Pleroma/Akkoma.

Privacy

Tusker locally stores Personally Identifiable Information (PII) for the purposes of the app's primary functionality. Tusker may transmit PII off-device to the instance(s) of any compatible third-party service to which the user has explicitly signed-in. Each instance has its own privacy policy, which you are encouraged to review.

The use of push notifications transmits non-personally identifiable information (such as device and account tokens) to a relay server. This information may be logged temporarily for the purposes of monitoring and improving system performance and errors and is not shared with anyone beyond the developer.

Tusker uses a third-party service to automatically report crashes and errors that occur in the app. No data is retained for more than 30 days, and Tusker endeavors to redact any PII. Any data collected is used solely for the purpose of improving the app, and is not shared with anyone beyond the developer or the third-party error reporting service. Automatic data collection may be disabled within the app (Preferences → Advanced → Report Errors Automatically).
