Overview
TAKAware Can ("the app") is developed and published by 12113775 Canada Inc. This policy describes how we handle your data. In short: we do not collect, store, or share your personal data.
Data We Do Not Collect
TAKAware Can does not collect, transmit, or store any personal information on our servers. We do not operate any backend infrastructure. There are no analytics, crash reporting services, advertising SDKs, or third-party tracking libraries included in the app.
Data Stored on Your Device
The app stores the following data locally on your device only:
- TAK server connection credentials (stored in the iOS Keychain)
- Server certificates and Data Packages
- Map overlays, markers, and contact information received from your TAK server
- Application log files (stored in the app's Documents folder)
- App preferences and settings
This data never leaves your device except when transmitted directly to the TAK servers you configure — which are operated by you or your organization, not by us.
Location Data
The app uses your device's GPS location to display your position on the map and to broadcast your position to the TAK servers you connect to. Location data is transmitted only to TAK servers you have explicitly configured. We do not receive or process your location data.
Health Data (Apple Watch)
If you use the Apple Watch companion app, it reads health metrics (heart rate, SpO2, steps, active calories) from HealthKit. This data is transmitted only to the TAK servers you have configured. It is not stored by us or shared with any third party.
Camera & Microphone
The app accesses the camera and microphone only when you initiate a video stream. Video is streamed directly to your configured TAK servers via RTMP. We do not record, store, or process any video or audio.
Third-Party Services
TAKAware Can uses the following open-source libraries, none of which collect personal data:
- TAK Aware by Flight Tactics LLC (Apache 2.0)
- HaishinKit — RTMP streaming
- MobileVLCKit — video playback
- SwiftTAK, SQLite.swift, SwiftProtobuf, SWXMLHash, ZipFoundation, SwiftCertificates, mgrs-ios, CodeScanner
Children's Privacy
TAKAware Can is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from children.

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
