RoosterRadarPrivacy Policy
RoosterRadar is built so that we know as little about you as technically possible. This page describes everything the service stores, in plain language. There is no fine print.
No accounts, no identity
RoosterRadar has no sign-up. We never ask for — and cannot store — your name, email address, phone number, or any other personal identity.
Your holdings stay on your device
Which coins you hold and how much you hold are stored only on your device. Amounts are never transmitted to our servers. When the app fetches prices, it sends only the list of coin names to look up.
What our server does store
- An anonymous device identifier — a random code your app generates. It is not derived from your hardware and identifies the app installation, not you.
- Your alert rules — the coin, the target price or percentage, and (for subscribers who choose one) the display currency for the alert message. Never how much you hold.
- A Telegram chat reference — if you connect Telegram for alerts, we store the chat identifier Telegram gives us so your alerts can be delivered. Disconnecting removes the app's link to it.
- Subscription status — whether a device identifier has an active subscription, its expiry date, and which store it was bought through. Payment details are handled entirely by the payment provider (Paddle or Google Play); we never see your card number.
Backups are encrypted before they leave the app
The backup file is encrypted on your device with a passphrase only you know. We never receive the file or the passphrase and cannot read or recover either. If you lose the passphrase, nobody can decrypt the backup — that is the point.
No analytics, no ads, no trackers
The app and this website contain no advertising, no analytics SDKs and no third-party trackers. Our web server keeps standard, short-lived technical logs (IP address and request path) for abuse prevention and debugging.
Third parties we rely on
- CoinGecko and public exchange data — market prices and charts. Requests go through our server, not from your device.
- Telegram — delivers your alert messages, under Telegram's own privacy policy.
- Paddle / Google Play — process subscription payments as independent merchants. They handle your payment data under their own policies: Paddle's privacy policy and Google's privacy policy.
Deleting your data
Delete your alerts in the app and disconnect Telegram, and the server keeps nothing meaningful about your device. Uninstalling the app removes everything stored locally. Fired-alert history expires from the server automatically.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date above changes with it, and material changes will be announced in the app.
