Find Device BLE Scanner


Privacy Policy for Find Device: BLE Scanner

Last updated: August 25, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how [Your Name or Company Name] ("we," "us," or "our") handles your information when you use our mobile application, Find Device: BLE Scanner (the "App").

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data.

1. Information We Process & Collect

a. Bluetooth (BLE) Data & On-Device Processing

Find Device: BLE Scanner scans for nearby Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) peripheral devices, signal strengths (RSSI), advertisement packets, and hardware identifiers to assist you in locating misplaced items.

  • Local Processing: All Bluetooth scanning, signal analysis, distance estimation, and tracking algorithms occur 100% locally on your iOS device.

  • No Tracking or Transmission: We do not track your physical location, record your Bluetooth scan results, or transmit the identity of your nearby devices to any external servers.

b. Data Stored via Apple Services (iCloud)

If enabled on your device, Find Device: BLE Scanner may use Apple’s built-in iCloud infrastructure (such as iCloud Key-Value Store or CloudKit) to sync your saved devices, custom labels, or app preferences across your personal Apple devices.

  • This data is encrypted in transit and at rest by Apple.

  • We do not have access to your personal iCloud credentials or the raw data inside your private iCloud storage container.

c. Diagnostic & Technical Data

We may access basic, aggregated technical metrics provided by Apple (such as crash logs and performance reports) if you have opted-in to share diagnostic data with developers in your iOS settings. This information is non-identifying and used solely for bug fixes and stability improvements.

2. Third-Party Services & Integrations

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data.

To support specific functionality and integrations within Find Device: BLE Scanner, the App connects to third-party services, including Kickstart Exchange.

  • Kickstart Exchange: Third-party data processing, analytics, or service interactions provided via Kickstart Exchange are governed by their privacy terms. For detailed information on how your data is processed by their service, please refer directly to the Kickstart Exchange Privacy Notice.

  • Apple In-App Purchases: Payment processing for features, subscriptions, or tips is managed entirely by Apple via StoreKit. We never see or store your payment card details.

3. How We Use Your Information

Any local processing or non-personal data collected is used strictly to:

  • Enable core BLE scanning, signal tracking, and proximity finding functionality.

  • Fix app crashes, resolve performance bugs, and maintain app stability.

  • Support third-party integrations and services provided through Kickstart Exchange in accordance with their Privacy Notice.

4. Data Security

Because your scan data and saved devices remain on your physical hardware or within your private iCloud account, your security is protected by Apple’s native iOS security architecture and hardware-level encryption. We advise keeping your iOS software up to date to ensure optimal protection.

5. Children's Privacy

Find Device: BLE Scanner does not knowingly collect or solicit personal data from children under the age of 13. If you believe any personal data has been inadvertently collected, please contact us immediately so we can remove it.

6. Your Data Rights & Choices

  • Bluetooth Permissions: You can grant or revoke Bluetooth scanning permissions at any time via your device settings: Settings > Privacy & Security > Bluetooth > Find Device: BLE Scanner.

  • Data Erasure: Deleting Find Device: BLE Scanner from your device will clear all locally cached scan histories and saved preferences.

  • Analytics Opt-Out: You can control whether diagnostic data is shared with app developers by going to Settings > Privacy & Security > Analytics & Improvements.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect app updates or legal compliance updates. Any changes will be posted within the App or on our support site with an updated "Last updated" date.
