Short version: Gatepeek shows who’s on your Wi‑Fi, on iPhone, iPad, and Android. It does not require an account. LAN scans, device names, notes, watchlists, and history stay on your device. We do not run a Gatepeek server, include analytics SDKs, or sell your data.
Who we are
DK4G Technologies, LLC (“DK4G,” “we,” “us”) publishes Gatepeek for iPhone, iPad, and Android phones. Contact: [email protected].
Summary
- Gatepeek does not require an account.
- LAN scans, device names, notes, watchlists, and history stay on your device.
- We do not operate a Gatepeek server, do not include third-party analytics or advertising SDKs, and do not sell your data.
- Optional Gatepeek Pro purchases are processed by Apple (iOS) or Google Play (Android). We never receive your payment details.
- If you connect a UniFi console, your Integration API key is stored in secure on-device storage (iOS Keychain; Android Keystore with encrypted preferences) and is sent only to the console you specify.
Information the App accesses on your device (all platforms)
- Local network. Used to discover devices on the Wi‑Fi or LAN you are connected to, using local probes such as ping, TCP port checks, Bonjour/mDNS, SSDP, reverse DNS, and NetBIOS name lookups. Results are shown in the App and may be saved in on-device history.
- Wi‑Fi name. Both iOS and Android require Location permission before an app can read the current Wi‑Fi network name (SSID). Gatepeek uses that permission only to show the network name. It does not collect, store, or send your location, does not track you in the background, and does not use location for advertising.
- Notifications (optional). If you enable Pro alerts, the App can notify you about new devices or watched devices that disappear or return. Notifications are generated on your device; we do not send push notifications from a server.
- UniFi credentials (optional, Pro). If you enter a UniFi Network Integration API key and console address, they are stored on device so the App can talk to your console. We do not upload those secrets to any Gatepeek server.
- CSV export (optional). If you export device data, the App creates the file on your device and hands it to the share destination you choose. We do not receive a copy.
iPhone and iPad
- Local Network permission. iOS asks for Local Network access before Gatepeek can scan.
- Location (When In Use), optional. Used only so iOS can provide the current Wi‑Fi name (SSID) and BSSID when you ask.
- Purchases. Apple processes Gatepeek Pro through the App Store (StoreKit). We receive entitlement status from Apple; we do not receive your payment card details.
- Home Screen widget. The widget reads a summary of your latest scan from a shared container (App Group) on your device. This data stays on the device.
- UniFi key storage. Stored in the iOS Keychain (console address in local app preferences).
Android
- Permissions. Gatepeek requests Internet and network/Wi‑Fi state access (for local scanning), multicast access (for mDNS/SSDP discovery), precise location (
ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, required by Android only to read the Wi‑Fi name), and notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS, Android 13 and later). - On-device storage. Scan results, saved devices, notes, and history are stored in a local database on your phone. Android cloud backup of app data is turned off.
- Background scans (Pro). If you turn on background alerts, Android’s WorkManager runs periodic scans of your local network on your phone so the App can alert you. These scans do not send data to us.
- Purchases. Google Play Billing processes Gatepeek Pro. We receive purchase and entitlement status from Google Play; we do not receive your payment details.
- UniFi key storage. Stored using the Android Keystore and encrypted shared preferences, and sent only to the UniFi console you specify.
- Device identifiers. Android 10 and later do not let apps read other devices’ hardware (MAC) addresses, so the Android app identifies devices by name and IP address unless your UniFi console provides more detail.
What we do not collect
The App does not operate a Gatepeek cloud account or server for scan data. We do not collect your location. We do not sell personal information. We do not use your LAN scan results for advertising.
Third parties
- Apple (iOS). App distribution, App Store purchases, and system services (notifications, Keychain, Local Network permission).
- Google (Android). App distribution through Google Play and Google Play Billing purchases. Google’s handling of that information is governed by Google’s privacy policy.
- Your router / UniFi console (optional). When you connect UniFi, the App contacts the console address you provide using your API key. That traffic goes to your network equipment, not to a Gatepeek backend.
- Public IP lookup (iOS). When the iOS App opens, it asks api.ipify.org (or ifconfig.me as a fallback) for your network’s public IP address so it can show it on the network card. These services see your IP address as part of that request. No scan results or device information are sent.
- Cloudflare (optional speed test, iOS). If you run the download estimate in Tools, the App downloads a test file from speed.cloudflare.com, which sees your IP address. No scan results or device information are sent.
Data retention
Scan history, renames, notes, and watchlists remain until you delete the App or clear them in-app. Uninstalling the App removes local App data under normal iOS and Android behavior.
Your choices
You can deny or revoke Location, Notifications, and Local Network permissions in your device settings; the App will keep working with reduced features (for example, without the Wi‑Fi name or alerts). You can turn off background alerts, disconnect UniFi, or delete saved data in the App at any time.
Children
The App is not directed to children under 13.
Changes
We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date above will change when we do. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
