SimpleHT privacy policy
SimpleHT is a free app for programming the TIDRADIO TD-H3 handheld radio from an iPhone or iPad.
The short version: SimpleHT collects nothing. The app never connects to the internet. There is no account, no analytics, no ads, no advertising identifier, no crash reporting and no third-party code of any kind. The only thing it talks to is your radio, over Bluetooth.
The app includes an Apple privacy manifest that says the same thing: no data collected, no tracking. You can also read this policy inside the app, under About and privacy on the home screen, even with no signal.
What stays on your device
Everything you create stays in the app's own storage on your device:
- Configurations: the channel line-ups you save, plus a copy of whatever you're working on so it isn't lost.
- Channel sets: groups of channels you build and reuse.
- Backups: a copy of your radio's memory taken before every write, so there's always a way back, plus a record of what was sent.
- Radio nicknames: a name you give a radio so you can tell two apart. It never leaves your device.
Deleting the app deletes all of it. Nothing is copied anywhere else first.
What leaves your device (only when you ask)
You can share a configuration, a channel set or a backup as a file using the standard share sheet. Where it goes is completely up to you.
- A shared configuration contains the channels (frequencies, names, tones, power and bandwidth), the mode it was made for, and the radio model. That's all.
- A shared backup is an exact copy of the radio's memory, including the channel names you programmed, along with a note of when it was taken.
- Shared files never include your radio's Bluetooth identifier or any nickname you gave it.
Bluetooth
SimpleHT asks for Bluetooth because that's the only way to reach the radio. It looks for nearby TD-H3 radios, reads the one you tap, and writes to the one you choose. It doesn't use Bluetooth for anything else, doesn't run in the background, and stops looking when you leave the screen.
Children
Nothing in SimpleHT is aimed at children, and nothing is collected from anyone.
