Privacy Policy

None. NetRadar does not collect personal data. The app contains no analytics SDKs, no telemetry, no crash reporters, no advertising identifiers, and no third-party tracking of any kind. There is no account system — you are not asked to sign up, sign in, or provide an email address.

The developer operates no servers and no database of user records. Scan results, device lists, history, and settings are stored only in NetRadar's private storage on your iPhone. There is nothing for us to lose, sell, or share, because we never receive any of it.

Because NetRadar's whole purpose is to test and diagnose networks, running a tool sends packets to the destination you choose. This is normal, expected behavior for a network utility — and it is the only network activity the app generates. Examples:

• Scan / discovery / ping / traceroute / port scan — connects to devices and ports on the network you are on, or to the host you enter.
• DNS lookups — query the DNS resolver(s) you select.
• WHOIS / ASN — query public WHOIS and routing-registry servers for the domain or IP you look up.
• Speed test — exchanges data with a measurement endpoint to estimate your download / upload speed and latency.
• TLS / HTTP recon — connects to the host you specify to read its certificate and response headers.

None of this traffic is routed through the developer. NetRadar does not phone home, and it does not report which targets you scanned back to us or to anyone else.

All analysis — device fingerprinting, security scoring, CVE matching, parsing of banners and certificates, latency statistics, and per-device history — happens locally on your iPhone. Results are written to NetRadar's private on-device storage and are never uploaded.

To read your local network NetRadar uses Apple's Network.framework and Bonjour / NetService APIs, which require the Local Network permission (see Section 13).

The hidden-camera finder works entirely over the Wi-Fi network: it looks for network-connected devices that expose camera services (such as RTSP or ONVIF) or that match known camera-hardware vendors. It does not use your iPhone's camera or microphone, and NetRadar does not request Camera or Microphone permission.

Important limitation: the scan only finds cameras connected to the same Wi-Fi network you are on. It cannot detect offline, cellular, or SD-card-only cameras, so treat it as one layer alongside a physical sweep — not a guarantee.

NetRadar's on-device packet capture uses Apple's NetworkExtension (Packet Tunnel Provider). iOS shows this as a "VPN" because that is the only mechanism Apple provides to inspect your device's own traffic — but NetRadar is not a VPN service. No traffic is sent to a remote server, nothing is proxied off your device, and no third party can see your data.

Captured packets are processed and stored locally so you can inspect your own device's traffic, and they are removed when you stop the capture or delete the app. The VPN configuration NetRadar installs is a local loopback used purely for capture.

NetRadar can cross-reference detected services and versions against known vulnerabilities (CVEs). This matching is performed on your device against vulnerability reference data. If a future version refreshes that reference data over the network, it downloads a public dataset only — it never sends your scan results, target list, or any identifying information to obtain it.

If NetRadar offers an optional Pro upgrade or other in-app purchase, it is handled entirely by Apple's StoreKit. The developer never sees your billing information, payment method, or Apple Account email — only an anonymous receipt that Apple uses to confirm the purchase. NetRadar does not run its own purchase server.

NetRadar does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or data-broker services. The "third parties" involved are Apple platform frameworks used as ordinary iOS primitives:

Public internet infrastructure you query directly — DNS resolvers, WHOIS / RIR servers, and a speed-test measurement endpoint — operate under their own policies. NetRadar contacts them only when you run the relevant tool, and only with the request needed to perform it.

NetRadar is intended for diagnosing and securing networks you own or are authorized to test. Port scanning, CVE cross-referencing, and service enumeration of networks or hosts you do not have permission to assess may be illegal in your jurisdiction. You are responsible for how you use the app. The developer cannot see how you use it, and does not log your targets — which also means we cannot police misuse on your behalf.

NetRadar is rated 4+ in the App Store but is a general-purpose utility intended for adults managing their networks. It is not directed at children under 13, and the developer does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, of any age, because the app collects no personal information at all (see Section 1). This is consistent with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

Because NetRadar collects no personal data, the developer does not act as a data controller or data processor for users in the EU/EEA, the United Kingdom, or California. Scan results, device history, and settings exist only on your device.

Your rights under the GDPR (access, rectification, erasure, portability, restriction, objection) and the CCPA / CPRA (know, delete, correct, opt out, non-discrimination) therefore apply to data on your own device:

• Access & portability: Use NetRadar's in-app export (PNG / CSV / PDF) to retrieve any results the app holds.
• Erasure: Clear history in-app, or remove the NetRadar app from your device (see Section 12).
• Sale or sharing of personal information: The developer does not sell or share personal information with anyone, because none is collected.

The developer retains none of your data because the developer never receives any of it. On your device:

• Scan results, discovered-device lists, and per-device history are stored in NetRadar's local on-device database until you clear them or delete the app.
• Captured packets exist only while a capture session is active and its data is retained on-device; stopping capture or deleting the app removes it.
• App settings are stored locally and are deleted when you delete the app.
• To remove everything: iOS Settings → General → iPhone Storage → NetRadar → Delete App, or long-press the app icon on the Home Screen and choose Delete. Also remove the NetRadar VPN profile under Settings → General → VPN & Device Management if it remains.

Each permission is requested only when needed for a specific feature, and you can revoke any of them at any time in iOS Settings.

NetRadar does not request: Camera, Microphone, Photo Library, Location, Contacts, Tracking (IDFA), Health, or Bluetooth.
