Privacy Policy

Last updated: 3 June 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what data iRoamer ("we", "us") processes when you use the iRoamer Windows agent and the iRoamer web app, and why.

Before public launch: replace the contact details at the bottom with your registered legal business name, postal address, and a working support email, and have this policy reviewed for the jurisdictions you operate in.

Where processing happens

iRoamer is split into two parts:

A local Windows agent that runs on 127.0.0.1 and controls your USB-connected iPhone. USB and device control happen entirely on your computer.
A hosted web app (this site) that provides the map interface and talks to the local agent. The website cannot access your USB device directly.

Data we process

Device fingerprint for licensing: a hashed device identifier used to bind a Pro license to one device. On Windows it is derived from a stable per-installation identifier (the Windows MachineGuid); on other systems it falls back to a hardware network adapter address. We store only the resulting hash, never the raw values. It does not change when you connect to a different Wi-Fi or network.
Local device status: connection state, model, and Developer Mode status reported by the local agent so the app can guide you. This stays between your browser and the local agent.
Operational data: data required by the third-party services below — such as consent, ads, checkout, licensing, map tiles, and update checks.
Update checks: the agent may send its version, channel, platform, and a hashed device identifier to the update service to support staged rollouts.

We do not require an account to use the free tier, and your simulated locations and routes are not uploaded to us.

Third-party services

Depending on configuration, a production deployment of iRoamer may use:

A merchant of record / payment processor for Pro subscriptions and license keys.
A map tile provider to render the interactive map.
Google ad services and a consent management platform to serve ads on the free tier.
Affiliate partners shown as fallback promotions.
An update host that distributes new versions of the agent.

These providers process data under their own privacy policies. In the EU, UK, and Switzerland, ads are gated behind a consent management platform.

Cookies & consent

On the free tier, ads and the consent management platform may set cookies or similar identifiers. You can manage advertising consent through the consent banner. Pro users do not see ads.

Data retention & your rights

License and billing records are retained for as long as required to provide the service and meet legal obligations. Subject to applicable law, you may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data we hold about you by contacting us.

Children

iRoamer is not directed to children and is intended for users who can lawfully enter into a contract for the service.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
