Privacy Policy

Effective 14 November 2026

Airsweep is a Wi-Fi scanner for the Mac made by Benjamin Lee. This policy covers the Airsweep app and this website.

The short version

Airsweep does not collect, store or share any information about you. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking. The app makes no internet requests, and the developer never receives your scan results or anything else from it.

Location access

macOS only gives the names and addresses of nearby Wi-Fi networks to apps that have Location access, so Airsweep asks for it. Airsweep never reads, stores or sends your location. You can withdraw the permission at any time in System Settings › Privacy & Security › Location Services; the app then cannot list networks until you allow it again.

What stays on your Mac

Everything a scan finds stays on your Mac: network names, access point addresses, signal levels, and the notes, colours and filters you add. Vendor lookups use a list built into the app. Airsweep only listens to what nearby access points broadcast and never connects to them.

Files you save or export

Saved scans and CSV exports are written where you choose and go nowhere else. A saved scan contains the names and addresses of the networks that were in range, so treat it accordingly if you share it.

This website

This site uses no cookies and no analytics scripts. It is hosted by Cloudflare, which may process standard request data such as IP addresses to deliver and protect the site.

Children

Airsweep does not collect information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
