Privacy Policy
SSTV Signal Desk and SSTV Lite process audio and images on device for the receiving, decoding, saving, and transmitting actions you choose to start.
Summary
The current Apple privacy manifest in the app repository declares no collected data types and sets tracking to false. SSTV Signal Desk and SSTV Lite keep receive, decode, encode, archive, and export actions local to the device unless you export or share files yourself.
| Area | Use | Stored or shared by us |
|---|---|---|
| Microphone | Live SSTV receive and decode when you start microphone receiving. | Not sent to our servers by the app. |
| Photos | Import pictures for transmission audio and save decoded images when you choose to save. | Images remain under your device and Apple account storage choices. |
| Files | Open supported recordings, save generated WAV audio, and maintain RX/TX archive files. | Files remain local unless you export or share them. |
| Location | Satellite pass timing and direction calculations for your observing position. | Not listed as collected data in the app privacy manifest. |
| StoreKit | Purchase, entitlement, and restore state for SSTV Lite's Permanent Decode Unlock. | Handled by Apple. The app reads entitlement state to unlock decoding. |
Required-reason APIs
The repository privacy manifest declares Apple required-reason access for file timestamps and UserDefaults. File timestamps are used for user-selected files and local archive management. UserDefaults stores app settings and lightweight local state such as preferences.
Public source links
Satellite and event views may link to public sources such as ARISS, AMSAT, and CelesTrak-related data. Those sources are third-party websites or services with their own privacy practices.
Support data
If you contact support, the message, email address or reply address, screenshots, recordings, device details, and any files you choose to include are used to answer that request. Support material is not required for normal app use.
Sale of personal data
We do not sell personal data and the app privacy manifest declares tracking as false.
