Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 12, 2026
The short version
TrackBuds works entirely on your device. The app has no account system, no analytics, no advertising, and no servers of its own. Bluetooth scans and saved locations never leave your iPhone. The only data that is processed outside your device relates to in-app purchases, described below.
Bluetooth data
TrackBuds scans for nearby Bluetooth devices to show you what is around and how strong each signal is. Detected device names and signal strengths are processed in memory on your iPhone while the app is open. They are not stored permanently and are never transmitted anywhere.
Location data
TrackBuds asks for location access ("while using the app") for one purpose: saving the spot where you found a device on the map. Your location is used only when you choose to save a spot. It is stored locally on your device and is never sent to us or to any third party.
Data stored on your device
When you save a found location, TrackBuds keeps the following on your device only: the device name, an optional note, map coordinates, and the date. You can delete saved locations in the app at any time, and deleting the app removes all of this data permanently.
In-app purchases
Payments for TrackBuds Pro are processed by Apple through your Apple ID; we never see your payment details. To manage subscription status, the app uses RevenueCat, which processes a random anonymous identifier and your purchase history (product, price, transaction dates) on our behalf. This does not identify you personally. See the RevenueCat Privacy Policy and Apple's Privacy Policy.
What we do not collect
- No account or sign-up — we do not know who you are
- No usage analytics or crash tracking
- No advertising or cross-app tracking
- No contacts, photos, microphone, or camera access
Children
TrackBuds is not directed at children under 13 and, as described above, collects no personal information from anyone.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update this page and the effective date above. Material changes will be highlighted in the app's release notes.
