Does AirBuddy collect analytics or device data?

I’m not interested in my users’ data. You purchase a license of AirBuddy to use its features, and I’m not interested in making money by collecting or selling your data.

If you’d like to help me prioritize feature development and maintenance, you can opt-in to send anonymous diagnostics and general feature-usage information. Analytics are opt-in and you can turn them off at any time.

Open AirBuddy settings, select General, then change Share anonymous usage data.

Data that AirBuddy can collect

When anonymous usage data is on, it can include:

Current system language and region
Mac and device type or model
Device firmware version
General app interactions and feature usage
Connection events and failures
Errors and crashes

This information is used to understand which devices and features need attention and to measure the impact of bugs. It isn’t shared with third parties.

Not collected: Device information, Battery Alerts, widget layouts, and Device Stats remain on the Mac except for supported settings that you choose to sync between Macs through iCloud. Data stored on iCloud is encrypted and can only be accessed when logged into your Apple Account.

Feedback reports

Sending feedback is a separate, user-initiated action. When you choose Help > Send Feedback, you decide whether to include contact information, attachments, and detailed diagnostics. Feedback reports are encrypted at rest, never shared with third-parties, and only persisted for the time required to investigate and address the issue.
