Privacy Policy

RADAR collects no data. There is no account, no server, and no analytics — so there is nothing to collect.

RADAR helps you find a family iPhone around the house. The phones talk to each other directly over Bluetooth. Nothing about you or your devices ever leaves your home.

What stays on your device

A small amount of information is stored locally on each iPhone, and only there:

• The display name you choose for the device, and its model.
• A random household identifier, created on your device when you first pair.
• An optional local log of when your household's phones last detected each other. You can turn this off in Settings at any time.

This information is never uploaded anywhere. Deleting the app removes all of it.

What we never do

• No accounts, no sign-in, no email collection.
• No servers — RADAR has no backend of any kind.
• No GPS or location tracking. RADAR only measures Bluetooth signal strength between your own paired devices.
• No analytics, no advertising, no third-party SDKs, no tracking of any kind.
• No data sold, shared, or transferred to anyone.

Bluetooth and safety

RADAR only communicates with iPhones in your own household. Pairing requires physical access to both devices: a four-digit code shown on one screen and typed on the other. A device's name can only be read by paired household members; the Bluetooth signal RADAR broadcasts contains no personal information.

When someone makes your iPhone ring, your phone shows you who asked. Any device can leave the household, and the beacon can be switched off, at any time in Settings.

Children

RADAR is suitable for all ages and collects no information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be posted on this page with a new date below.

Getting started

• Two iPhones are required. RADAR works by having your family's phones listen for each other over Bluetooth.
• Pair once. On one iPhone, open Settings and tap invite — a four-digit code appears. On the other, tap join and enter the code while the phones are next to each other.
• Find a phone. Tap its module on the home screen. The gauge heats up and the ticks speed up as you get closer.
• Take a bearing. Tap the dial, hold the phone against your chest, and turn slowly on the spot. The needle points the way once it is confident.
• Make it ring. Press the orange knob. The phone rings at full volume even when locked and on silent.

Good to know

RADAR measures Bluetooth signal strength, which tells you whether you are getting warmer or colder — not an exact distance in metres. Indoors, walls and metal can bend the signal, so the bearing needle stays grey until it has enough evidence to be trusted.
