No third-party analytics. No Google telemetry. The only external connection is a single status check to our own domain.
The short version: TACMAN is designed with privacy at its core. Your messages, callsigns and communications go to a server you control — not ours. We have no third-party analytics or telemetry. The only external connection the app makes is a single HTTP request to tacman.io to check service status — nothing else leaves your device.
We do not sell your data. We do not run ads. We do not build profiles. No Google analytics. No tracking.
The data controller is Andrew Howe, trading as TACMAN, England & Wales. Contact: contact@tacman.io.
This policy covers the TACMAN and TACMAN+ Android applications and the tacman.io website.
