Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 21, 2026 · Last Updated: June 28, 2026

The short version: PollWatt doesn't collect any personal data or phone home to its developer. No analytics, no crash reports, no tracking. All SNMP polling happens between your device and the UPS network cards you configure on your local network. Optional iCloud sync is described below.

Overview

PollWatt ("the App") is a native macOS, iOS, and iPadOS application that monitors UPS devices via SNMP on your local network. This privacy policy describes how the App handles information.

Information We Collect

PollWatt does not collect any personal information. The App does not:

Collect your name, email address, or any other identifying information
Transmit any data to the App developer or third parties (aside from the UPS devices you explicitly configure, see below)
Use analytics, crash reporting services, or tracking tools
Access your contacts, photos, location, or any other system data
Create user accounts managed by the developer, or require registration with the developer
Collect or process any payment or financial information

Network Data

PollWatt communicates only with SNMP-enabled UPS devices on your local network that you configure within the App. All SNMP polling and data retrieval occurs locally between your Device and the UPS network card you configure, over UDP (typically port 161). No device information, power statistics, or UPS data are transmitted outside of your local environment.

No telemetry, usage data, crash reports, or diagnostics are transmitted to the App developer at any time.

Data Storage

Device configuration (host names or IP addresses, ports, SNMP settings including community strings, polling preferences, and notes) is stored locally on your Device. SNMPv3 passwords are stored in your device's Keychain. Poll history and connection logs are held in memory only and reset on restart.

If you enable iCloud Sync, the following are optionally synced across your Apple devices through your private iCloud account, in accordance with Apple's Privacy Policy:

Your devices and notes, including SNMP community strings and SNMPv3 credentials, sync through a private iCloud database (CloudKit). Every field is end-to-end encrypted: it is encrypted on your device before it is stored, so its contents are not readable by the App developer.
App preferences (sort order, chart toggles, privacy toggles) sync through Apple's iCloud Key-Value Store.

iCloud Sync can be disabled at any time in Settings → Sync. No configuration data or UPS statistics are ever transmitted to the App developer.

Third-Party Services

PollWatt does not integrate with any advertising networks, analytics platforms, crash reporters, or third-party cloud services, except for Apple's iCloud, which is used solely for optional configuration sync as described above, and solely when you opt in.

Children's Privacy

PollWatt does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13.

Changes to This Policy

If this privacy policy changes in a future version of the App, the updated policy will be published at this URL and the "Last Updated" date above will be revised. Continued use of the App after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
