Privacy Policy

SNMP Inspector is an iPhone and iPad app for checking network devices over SNMP, made by an independent developer. It needs no account, and no server of ours stands between the app and your devices. This policy covers what the app stores, what it sends and where, and what this website collects.

In short

  • SNMP Inspector talks from your iPhone or iPad to the devices you add, over SNMP on UDP port 161. No server of ours stands in between, so your SNMP traffic can't pass through one.
  • Devices, jobs, photos, notes and reports stay on your device. There is no account and no cloud copy.
  • Communities and SNMPv3 passwords stay in the iOS Keychain on this device and never appear in reports.
  • Crash reports go to Sentry and usage counts to an analytics server we run ourselves. Both start on, you can turn each off, and neither carries addresses, host names, MAC addresses, OID values or credentials.
  • We don't sell data, show ads or track you across apps and websites.

Connections the app makes

  • The devices you add, over SNMP on UDP port 161. If you run the connection doctor, the app also sends short reachability checks to the same address. If you scan a subnet, it sends SNMP requests to the addresses in the range you choose.
  • Your network's DNS server, when you enter a host name instead of an IP address.
  • Sentry for crash reports and our own analytics server for usage counts, each while its switch is on.

The app makes no other connections. The demo devices work offline, and the app reads no device while it is closed.

Data that stays on your device

  • iOS Keychain, this device only (ThisDeviceOnly): communities and SNMPv3 passwords.
  • The app's own storage: devices and sites without their secrets, jobs with their snapshots, photos and notes, imported MIB modules and your settings.
  • Reports and exports leave the device only when you share them through the iOS share sheet. You choose where they go from there. You can hide addresses in a report before you share it.

Settings › Delete all data removes devices, credentials, jobs, photos, notes and reports from this device. Reports you already shared stay where you sent them.

Crash reports and usage counts

On first launch, a screen named Crash reports and analytics explains two switches, Crash reports and Usage analytics. Both start on. You can turn either off there or later in Settings › Privacy and sharing.

  • Crash reports go to Sentry (Functional Software, Inc.): the crash trace, the app version, the iOS version and the device model.
  • Usage analytics go to a self-hosted Aptabase server that we run: the screens and tools you open. A tool event also carries its result, the SNMP version, whether it read a demo device or one of your own devices, and a port count range such as 9-24. Each event carries the app and iOS version, the device model and the language.
  • The analytics server runs behind Cloudflare and derives the country and region from the connection address. It doesn't store the address.

Neither channel contains addresses, host names, sysName, sysLocation or sysContact, MAC addresses, OIDs or their values, communities or passwords. Neither uses an advertising identifier or a permanent install ID. To ask about data the app has sent, write to support@snmpinspector.app.

Permissions

  • Local Network: iOS asks once, before the app first reads an address you entered. The demo works without it.
  • Camera: the app asks the first time you take a photo for a job.
  • Face ID: only if you turn on App lock. Face ID data stays with iOS; the app learns only whether unlocking succeeded.

The app doesn't ask for your location, contacts or microphone.

Purchases

SNMP Inspector is a paid download, and Apple sells it. We never receive your payment details, and the app has no in-app purchases.

This website

snmpinspector.app is a static website hosted on Cloudflare, which processes technical request data such as IP addresses to deliver and protect it.

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views and measure how fast pages load. It sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser.

We use Google Analytics 4 to see which pages people read and which buttons they press, such as the App Store badge. It sets cookies and loads after your first interaction or a few seconds after the page opens. We keep its advertising features off. Google's privacy policy applies to that data.

If you email us, we use your address and message only to reply.

Children

SNMP Inspector is a tool for network work and isn't directed at children. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your choices and changes

Everything the app stores lives on your device, so you can see, change or delete it there. For anything about data the app has sent, this website or your emails, write to support@snmpinspector.app.

If we change this policy, we publish the new version on this page with a new date.
