EMWaver app

Privacy Policy

EMWaver is built to be local-first. Hardware control and your saved data run on your device and do not require an EMWaver account, cloud activation, hosted relay, or subscription.

Information EMWaver Handles Locally

The EMWaver apps may store saved remotes, captured signals, settings, terminal output, connection status, and firmware version on your device. This local information is used to render the app and to let you continue work between sessions. It stays on your phone.

Permissions

EMWaver requests device permissions only to support local hardware workflows. USB access is used to communicate with the board, which appears as a class-compliant USB-MIDI device. The apps do not use Bluetooth, Wi-Fi provisioning, local-network discovery, or location.

Network Use

The apps make no network calls. Not for hardware control, not for remote codes, not for anything else: the infrared catalogue ships inside the app, codes are rendered to pulses on your phone, and no remote you use and no signal you capture is ever sent anywhere. There is no account and no cloud service to require. The apps may open documentation and external community links, but only when you tap one.

What We Do Not Do

  • We do not require an EMWaver account at all — there is no sign-in.
  • We do not sell personal information.
  • We do not use local hardware access for advertising profiles.
  • We do not use hosted device activation, ownership checks, or subscription gates for local control.
  • We do not store your remotes or captured signals in any EMWaver cloud service.

Third-Party Services

EMWaver may link to third-party websites. Those services have their own privacy practices. The public website may also produce ordinary hosting and security logs, such as IP address, user agent, requested URL, and request time, as part of operating the site.

Retention and Deletion

Saved remotes, settings, terminal output, and captured signals remain on your device until you delete them through the app, remove local files, clear app data, or uninstall the app. Operating-system backups may include app-local data depending on your device and backup settings.

Children

EMWaver is a technical electronics tool and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the EMWaver app.

Governing Law

This policy and the sale of EMWaver are governed by the law of Portugal.

Changes

We may update this policy as EMWaver changes. When we do, we will update the date at the top of this page.
