Privacy Policy

What Radar keeps

• A device identifier made up by the app. It owns your scanners, watchlist and alerts until you sign in.
• Your account, if you create one. Accounts are optional. With email, your email address and a password stored only as a salted hash. With Sign in with Apple or Google, the account identifier and email address they share with Radar (with Apple’s Hide My Email, a private relay address), and never a password. For Sign in with Apple the server also keeps the token Apple issues, so it can revoke Radar’s access when you delete your account.
• Sign-in sessions: when you are signed in, the server records each session with the IP address and user agent (app and system version) it came from, to keep sessions secure. Sessions expire after a month without use.
• What you build: scanners, their rules and alert settings, your watchlist, and the alerts the server recorded for them, including how each market moved afterwards.
• A push notification token, so the server can alert you while the app is closed.
• When you last opened Radar. On the free plan, scanners rest after 21 days without the app being opened, and wake when it is.

Radar Pro and invites

Payments are handled by Apple. Radar never sees your payment details. When you subscribe, the app tells the server your plan, its expiry date and Apple’s transaction identifier, so scanners that need Pro keep running with the app closed. The server may ask Apple to confirm that transaction.

RevenueCat keeps a copy of your subscription for Radar: the app’s device identifier, your purchase history from Apple (products, dates, prices, renewals, refunds and trials), the app and iOS version, and the country worked out from your IP address. It is used to report on and manage subscriptions. It receives no name, email, account or scanner data.

If you use invites, the server keeps your six-character invite code, which code a new user entered, and whether that friend went on to subscribe, so it can send the inviter a one-month App Store offer code.

The AI rule builder

When you describe a scanner in words, that description (and, when you are editing, the scanner’s current rules) is sent to DeepSeek, whose servers are in China, to turn it into rules. Nothing else is sent: not your account, device or location. If you would rather not use it, build rules from the Add menu instead. Radar never sends anything to DeepSeek unless you ask it to interpret a description.

Optional analytics

After onboarding, Radar asks whether you want to share anonymous analytics. Nothing is sent unless you say yes. If you do, the app sends a few app actions to PostHog, hosted in the EU: opening the app, finishing onboarding, creating a scanner (its candle size, market list and number of rules, not the rules themselves), opening the paywall, buying or restoring Radar Pro, and opening an alert. They carry a random identifier made for analytics only, the app version and your device model and iOS version. They carry no name, email, account, device identifier shared with anything else, scanner rules, markets or location, and no profile is built about you.

You can turn it off at any time in Settings > Privacy. Doing so stops sending straight away and deletes the analytics identifier from your phone.

Who processes it

• Cloudflare runs Radar’s server and stores its data.
• Apple delivers push notifications, handles subscriptions, and runs Sign in with Apple.
• Google runs Sign in with Google, only if you choose it.
• DeepSeek interprets scanner descriptions, as above.
• RevenueCat (United States) keeps subscription records, as above.
• PostHog (EU) receives anonymous analytics, only if you agree.

Market data comes from public exchange feeds (Bybit, Hyperliquid, OKX and Upbit) and the economic calendar from public schedules. Radar asks them for prices and never sends them anything about you.

What Radar does not do

• No advertising and no advertising SDKs. Analytics only with your permission.
• No tracking across other companies’ apps or websites.
• No access to your contacts, photos, location or exchange accounts. Radar never asks for exchange API keys and cannot place trades.

Deleting your data

Settings > Account > Delete account removes your account, scanners, watchlist, alerts and devices from the server straight away, and revokes Radar’s access to your Apple ID if you signed in with Apple. Without an account, deleting the app leaves nothing that identifies you; your scanners stay on the server under an identifier nobody can link to you. To have those removed too, email support from the address below with the name of a scanner you made.

RevenueCat’s record is kept under the app’s device identifier, never your name or email; to have it removed, email support. Anonymous analytics can’t be traced back to you, so there is nothing to look up. Apple keeps its own record of your purchases.

Children

Radar is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has created an account, email support and it will be deleted.

Not financial advice

Radar reports what markets are doing against rules you set. It does not recommend trades, and past results in the history test or alert record do not predict future ones.
