Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 7, 2026

1. Introduction

Ravedio (“we,” “us,” “our”) operates the Ravedio mobile application for iOS and Android, the Ravedio website (ravedio.com), and the Ravedio mesh hardware node. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, and share your information when you use our products and services. Ravedio is intended for users aged 18 and older in the United States. By using Ravedio, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

Information collected through the mobile app

  • Bluetooth: The app uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to pair with and communicate with your Ravedio node. Mesh message contents are not uploaded as part of BLE communication. The app uploads limited operational diagnostics read from the node, such as firmware and hardware version, battery level, uptime, radio utilization, route counts, neighbor link counters, active tuning profile metadata, and the active event ID when available, so we can monitor reliability, enforce service integrity, and improve mesh performance. These diagnostics do not include mesh message contents, channel keys, contacts, GPS coordinates, or private keys.
  • Location (GPS): If you grant location permission, GPS coordinates may be attached to outgoing mesh messages so nearby contacts can see your position on the map. Location data is processed locally and shared only over the local mesh radio network — it is not sent to Ravedio servers. Note: iOS and Android require location permission for Bluetooth scanning as an operating system policy, even if you do not use GPS features.
  • Camera: Used only to scan QR codes (e.g., joining a channel or adding a contact). No images are stored, uploaded, or transmitted.
  • Local storage: Messages, contacts, channel keys, and preferences are stored locally on your device. If you sign in and use account sync or backup features, contacts and channel credentials may be synced to your account. Mesh message contents are not included in those backups.
  • Optional product analytics: The app may send sparse first-party lifecycle events, such as first open, onboarding completion, radio pairing result, firmware update result, account sync result, telemetry upload result, and network policy deferral summaries. These events use a pseudonymous app instance ID and do not include message contents, GPS coordinates, contacts, channel credentials, private keys, raw public keys, hardware fingerprints, or JWTs. You can turn off product analytics in the app; disabling it deletes pending non-essential analytics that have not been uploaded.
  • Optional crash reports: If crash reporting is enabled, the app may send crash details such as app version, operating system version, stack traces, error metadata, and limited breadcrumbs to our crash reporting provider so we can fix bugs. Crash reports do not include message contents, GPS coordinates, contacts, channel credentials, private keys, raw public keys, or local log files. You can turn off crash reports in the app.
  • Notifications: The app generates local notifications for incoming messages. No remote push notification service is used.

Information collected through the website

  • Contact form: Name, email address, and message content when you contact us.
  • Newsletter: Email address if you subscribe to product updates.
  • Server logs: Basic technical information (IP address, request timestamps) for security and abuse prevention. Logs are retained for a limited period.

Information we do not collect

Ravedio does not use advertising trackers, analytics cookies, or third-party tracking pixels. We do not collect or store your mesh message contents, GPS location history, or private encryption keys on our servers.

3. Mesh Messages and Encryption

Ravedio is a peer-to-peer mesh network. Messages travel directly between nodes over radio — they do not pass through our servers.

  • Channels and private DMs: Encrypted on-device using keys generated and stored locally. Ravedio cannot read these messages.
  • Open DMs (intro messages): Plaintext by design. Open DMs are intended for first contact before keys are exchanged. Nearby mesh participants may be able to read them.

Private encryption keys are generated on your device and stored locally. If you use optional key backup, private key backups are encrypted before they are sent to Ravedio.

4. How We Use Your Information

  • To respond to support inquiries submitted through our contact form
  • To send product updates if you subscribe to our newsletter
  • To maintain security and prevent abuse of our services
  • To enforce premium access, rental or hardware locks, verified username state, and weekly premium relay secrets
  • To diagnose mesh reliability and improve node performance
  • To improve app setup, radio pairing, firmware updates, account sync, and reliability using optional first-party lifecycle analytics

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

5. How We Share Your Information

We share your information only in the following cases:

  • Hosting: Our website is hosted by third-party infrastructure providers who process data on our behalf.
  • Legal requirements: We may disclose information when required by law, legal process, or government request.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect. No system can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your devices secure.

7. Data Retention

Contact form submissions and newsletter subscriptions are retained until they are no longer needed or you request deletion. Server logs are retained for a limited period for security purposes. Mesh message contents are stored locally on your device and are not retained by Ravedio. Account-backed contact and channel backups are retained until you delete them or request deletion. Mandatory operational diagnostics are retained only as long as needed for service integrity, reliability, and mesh tuning. Optional raw product analytics are retained for 90 days; daily aggregate analytics are retained for up to 13 months. Optional crash reports are retained for a limited period by our crash reporting provider.

8. Your Rights and Choices

  • You choose whether to grant location, camera, or Bluetooth permissions in the app. The app will explain why each permission is needed before requesting it.
  • You can request deletion of personal information we hold, such as contact form submissions, newsletter subscriptions, account data, and device-linked operational diagnostics, at any time.
  • You can disable optional product analytics in the app. This does not disable entitlement checks, premium enforcement, security requests, or mandatory operational diagnostics needed to keep the mesh service reliable.
  • You can disable optional crash reports in the app. This does not disable local crash logs stored on your own device or mandatory operational diagnostics.
  • You can unsubscribe from our newsletter using the link in any email we send.

California residents: Under the CCPA, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, request its deletion, and opt out of its sale. We do not sell personal information. To exercise your rights, email privacy@ravedio.com.

9. Data Deletion

To request deletion of any personal data we hold, email privacy@ravedio.com. We will process your request within 30 days. Local app data (messages, contacts, keys, preferences) can be deleted by uninstalling the app or clearing app data. Account-backed backups can be deleted by request.

10. Age Requirement

Ravedio is intended for users aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe someone under 18 has provided us with personal information, contact privacy@ravedio.com and we will delete it promptly.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Your continued use of Ravedio after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
