Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

Short version

Nuticast doesn't collect any data about you or how you use it. There's no account, no analytics, no telemetry, and no server this app talks to other than the CLIs already installed on your own Mac (tailscale, netbird, zerotier-cli, dns-sd, devicectl).

What the app stores, and where

Device profiles you create (display name, Bonjour hostname, mesh VPN provider, hostname/IP, port range) are stored in a local JSON file under ~/Library/Application Support/Nuticast/. This file never leaves your Mac and is not synced anywhere.

Network traffic

When a bridge is active, the app relays TCP/UDP traffic between your Mac and your iPhone over your own Tailscale, ZeroTier, or Netbird network. This traffic is between devices you control, over a network you already operate — it does not pass through any server operated by us.

Purchases

If you buy a license, payment is processed by our payment provider (Stripe), who collects the billing information necessary to process the transaction and comply with tax law. We do not receive or store your card details. See Stripe's privacy policy for how they handle payment data. Your license key is the Stripe payment or subscription id; we use it only to validate activations (up to your plan's device limit).

Website analytics and cookies

This website uses Google Analytics to understand aggregate traffic and conversion events (for example: page visits, download clicks, checkout starts, purchases, and license activations). Google Analytics sets cookies to do this, and only runs after you accept the cookie banner shown on your first visit — you can decline, and no analytics cookies are set. We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site/ad tracking. See Google's privacy policy and how Google uses data from sites that use its services. Access logs on our hosting provider may still record normal web-server request metadata.

Changes

If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date above will change with it.
