Privacy Policy

What DeviceIQ does on your device

DeviceIQ reads hardware and software information (model, chip, display, storage, battery, camera, network, sensors) using only public Apple APIs, no private APIs and no jailbreak. This information is displayed to you on-screen and is not collected or transmitted anywhere by the app itself.

Anonymous statistics (opt-in, off by default)

DeviceIQ integrates Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics, but both start disabled. Analytics and crash collection only turn on if you explicitly enable "Anonymous Statistics" in Settings. Turning that toggle on is also the point at which the app requests App Tracking Transparency (ATT) authorization. If you never enable the toggle, no analytics or crash data is collected or sent.

Advertising

DeviceIQ shows ads (a banner on the main tabs, and an interstitial after every third DevTools tool you close) through Google AdMob. Showing ads is independent of the Anonymous Statistics toggle, since it's how the app is monetized rather than a statistics feature. Only ad personalization depends on your App Tracking Transparency decision: if you decline tracking, you still see ads, just less targeted ones.

Tools that contact a third-party service

A few DevTools tools send a request directly from your device to a third-party service, only when you open that specific tool and trigger it, never in the background:

• IP Lookup and WHOIS query ipapi.co and public WHOIS servers to look up information about an IP address or domain you enter.

• Email Breach Check sends the email address you type to api.xposedornot.com to check whether it appears in a known data breach.

Each of these tools states in its own description, before you use it, that it sends data to a third party. No other part of the app makes these requests, and none of them are DeviceIQ's own backend, because DeviceIQ doesn't have one.

Permissions we ask for, and why

• Motion & Fitness — to test the accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, and barometer, and to measure device motion.
• Camera — to detect which cameras and lenses your device has and their capabilities. DeviceIQ does not capture or store photos or video.
• Face ID — to test whether Face ID authentication is working on this device.
• Location — to show live GPS diagnostics (coordinates, accuracy, speed, heading) on-screen while a diagnostic view is open. This is not logged, stored, or sent anywhere, and DeviceIQ does not keep a location history.
• Local Network — used by the Ping, Traceroute, and Network Scanner tools to reach devices on your local network, such as your router.
• Bluetooth — used by the Bluetooth Scanner tool to find nearby Bluetooth Low Energy devices while that screen is open.
• Tracking (App Tracking Transparency) — requested only if you opt into Anonymous Statistics, to show ads that are more relevant to you. You can decline and still use the app normally.

What DeviceIQ deliberately doesn't show or collect

Battery health, cycle count, and charging wattage are not shown anywhere, since there is no public iOS API that exposes them. Raw GPS coordinate history and Wi-Fi network scanning beyond your current network's name are also out of scope. ProcessInfo.systemUptime is shown on the Overview screen; Apple classifies it as a required-reason API, and the reasons DeviceIQ declares for it are listed in the app's privacy manifest.

Accounts

DeviceIQ does not have accounts, sign-in, or a user profile of any kind. There is nothing to create, and nothing we could look up even if asked to.

Children's privacy

DeviceIQ does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, of any age. Everything described above is either shown only on your own screen, or sent by a specific tool only when you actively use it.
