Pinpoint: Bluetooth Finder

Effective October 22, 2026 · Published by Pinpoint

Summary: the app does not collect any data. There is no account, no server, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking and no third-party SDK. Everything the app records stays on your iPhone. We, the publisher, receive nothing from it.

What the app processes on your device

Bluetooth advertisements from nearby devices (name, signal strength, maker code, service identifiers) to list them and estimate distance.
Location, only if you allow it, to remember where a saved device was last heard and to measure how far you moved during a tracker check.
Names, logs and settings you create in the app.

Network

The app makes no network requests of its own. Maps are drawn with Apple's MapKit; your device may request map tiles from Apple under Apple's privacy policy. We never see these requests.

Permissions

Bluetooth: Required to scan for nearby devices.
Location (While Using): Optional. Asked when you save a device or start a tracker check.
Notifications: Optional. Asked when you turn on the left-behind alert.

You can change any permission in iOS Settings at any time.

Retention and deletion

Data stays on your device until you delete it: forget a saved device (deletes its log), clear the heard list and custom names in Setup, or delete the app to remove everything. Because we hold no data, there is nothing for us to delete or export.

Children

The app collects no personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version is posted on this page with a new effective date.
