Privacy

Probe — last updated 28 May 2026

Probe does not collect, store, transmit, or share any data about you or your devices.

What Probe collects

Nothing. There is no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising SDK, no device identifier, no telemetry, no usage metrics. The App Store privacy declaration filed with this app is Data Not Collected, and the bundled PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy manifest matches.

What stays on your device

• Host configurationsnames, endpoints, ports, usernames — stored in the app's local container.
• Saved commands and connection historykept on-device for your convenience.
• Host fingerprintspinned locally so Probe can warn you if a server's identity changes.
• SSH private keysstored in the iOS Keychain. They never leave your device.

Network access

Probe only opens connections to the SSH and Mosh endpoints you configure. There is no Probe-operated server, no first-party backend, no “phone home” — not on launch, not on crash, not ever. Updates are delivered exclusively through the App Store.

Why Probe asks for Wi-Fi and location permissions

iOS requires the “Access Wi-Fi Information” entitlement and “When in Use” location permission in order to read the current network's SSID. Probe uses the SSID purely to match it against your per-host endpoint rules — so the LAN address is tried on home Wi-Fi and the public address elsewhere. The SSID and any location data are never stored, never logged, and never transmitted off the device.

Third parties and tracking

None. No third-party SDKs are bundled. There is no IDFA, no advertising identifier, no fingerprinting. Nothing in Probe shares data with any third party because Probe does not collect data to share.

Children

Probe is rated 4+ and does not collect data from anyone — children included.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, the “last updated” date above will change with it. The policy can only become more restrictive, since the floor is already “collects nothing.”
