KeyUp Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026 · App: KeyUp Radio · Developer: BaldGuy LLC

KeyUp ("the app") is a controller for amateur-radio AllStarLink nodes. We built KeyUp to be private by design. This policy explains what the app does and does not do with your information.

The short version: KeyUp does not collect, transmit, sell, or share your personal information. There is no KeyUp account, no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking. BaldGuy LLC operates no servers that receive your data. The app talks directly to the AllStarLink nodes on your own local network.

Information the app handles, and where it stays

Node credentials (username/password). Stored only in the iOS Keychain on your device. They are sent solely to the node you choose to connect to, over your local network. They are never sent to BaldGuy LLC or any third party.
Saved networks and nodes. Your list of saved Wi-Fi networks, node addresses, names, and presets is stored only on your device.
Location. With your permission, the app reads the name (SSID) of the Wi-Fi network you are currently on, so it can recognize your saved networks. iOS requires Location permission to read the Wi-Fi name. This is used on your device only — your location is never recorded or transmitted. You can deny this permission and continue to use the app; it will identify networks by subnet instead.
Local network access. The app scans your local Wi-Fi to discover AllStarLink nodes and communicates with them directly (Asterisk Manager Interface). This traffic stays on your local network.

The one internet request the app makes

To show information about the nodes you are connected to (call sign, location, and a count of connected nodes), the app may send a node number to AllStarLink's public node-information service (stats.allstarlink.org) and display the public result. This request contains only a public node number — never your identity, credentials, or location. This is the same public data shown on AllStarLink's own dashboards. If you have no internet connection, node control still works; only this optional information is unavailable.

What we do not do

We do not collect or store your data on any server.
We do not use analytics or crash-reporting SDKs.
We do not show ads or use any advertising or tracking identifiers.
We do not sell or share your information with anyone.

Children's privacy

KeyUp does not collect personal information from anyone, including children.
