WiFi TracerPrivacy policy
We don’t collect your data.
Effective · Applies to WiFi Tracer for iOS, version 1.0 and later
Summary
WiFi Tracer is made by FaithDevs. The app has no account, no analytics, no advertising and no server of its own. FaithDevs does not receive, store or sell any information about you or your network.
What stays on your iPhone
Test results, history, monitors, saved hosts, the names you give to devices and your settings are stored only in the app’s storage on your device. They are deleted when you delete the app. If you use iCloud device backups, they are included in that backup under Apple’s terms. You can share a result yourself (for example, a CSV or PDF report) using the iOS share sheet. That is your choice and goes only where you send it.
Permissions
- Precise Location (while using the app). iOS only gives the Wi‑Fi network name (SSID) and BSSID to apps that have Precise Location. WiFi Tracer uses it only to read those two values. It never reads, stores or sends your coordinates. You can decline and every tool still works; the network name is simply hidden.
- Local Network. Lets the LAN scan, Bonjour/mDNS, UPnP, security audit and hidden camera tools find devices on the network your phone is connected to. Results stay on your device.
- Notifications (optional). Used only for local alerts you turn on, such as a monitored host going down or a new device joining. They are generated on the device.
Third-party services the app contacts
Some tools need to talk to a public service to measure anything. Like any internet request, these services see your public IP address. WiFi Tracer sends them nothing else about you, and FaithDevs has no access to their logs. Each service has its own privacy policy.

Opening a location on a map hands the coordinates of an IP address (not your location) to Apple Maps.
