Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 5, 2026

        TL;DR: BLE Inspector is a native macOS app. It does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data. BLE traffic flows only between your Mac and the peripheral you connect to. No analytics, no tracking, no phone-home.
      

What BLE Inspector Does

BLE Inspector is a native macOS application for Bluetooth Low Energy. It scans for advertising peripherals, connects to GATT servers, and browses services, characteristics, and descriptors, reading, writing, and subscribing to values. It runs entirely on your Mac.

Data Collection

BLE Inspector does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data. Specifically:

No BLE data leaves your Mac. Advertisement data, GATT values, and notification streams exist only in the app's memory and your local log files (if logging is enabled).
No device information is collected. Device names, MAC/random addresses, and service UUIDs observed during scanning are stored locally for your convenience and never sent anywhere.
No usage analytics. The app does not include any analytics SDK, tracking pixels, or telemetry. We do not know how you use the app.
No crash reporting. The app does not send crash reports automatically. If you report a bug, you choose what information to share.

Network Communication

The app makes no internet connections for BLE traffic: communication is over Bluetooth Low Energy between your Mac and the peripheral. The only network access is:

License activation: If you purchased via Polar.sh, the app contacts dl-ble-inspector.voltrus.id to validate your license key. This sends only your license key and a device identifier, no other data.

Local Storage

The app stores the following data locally on your Mac:

Known devices and connection presets: stored in app preferences
GATT bookmarks (service/characteristic UUIDs of interest): stored in app preferences
License activation data: stored in macOS Keychain
Session logs: only if you explicitly enable logging, written to a folder you choose

All local data can be deleted by removing the app (and deleting any log files you saved). No residual data is left on your Mac after deletion.

License Purchase

Licenses are processed through Polar.sh. We receive only your email address and purchase details. We do not receive or store payment card information. License keys are managed by Polar.sh.

Children's Privacy

BLE Inspector is an engineering and development tool. It is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Cookies and Analytics

This product page (voltrus.id/ble-inspector/) counts page views and clicks with One Dollar Stats and RevKlik. Neither sets cookies. RevKlik stores a random visitor ID in your browser; the Voltrus privacy page lists what it records. The app itself contains zero analytics.

Third-Party Services

Polar.sh: Payment processing and license key management. Their privacy policy applies to purchase data.
Cloudflare: Hosts the license validation and update server. No personal data is stored on Cloudflare beyond temporary request logs.

Data Retention

We retain your email address (from Polar.sh purchases) for as long as necessary to provide license support. We do not maintain any database of users, devices, or usage patterns. You can request deletion of your purchase data by emailing us.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

Request access to the personal data we hold about you
Request deletion of your personal data
Object to processing of your personal data
Request a copy of your data in a portable format

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance.
