Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-05-09
Trazely is a network discovery and connectivity diagnostics app (device scanning, ping, traceroute). It processes network information locally on your device to discover and display devices and services that are reachable from the network currently connected to your device, and to report connectivity to hosts you specify.
Data Controller
The controller within the meaning of Art. 4(7) GDPR is the provider identified on the Impressum page. For privacy-related requests, contact support@wolfmajer.com.
Regardless of where you are located, the controller is established in Austria and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies to any processing of personal data carried out in connection with the Trazely app and these legal pages.
Diagnostic Probes
When you use ping or traceroute, the app sends standard network diagnostic packets (ICMP and/or UDP) to the host you enter. These probes traverse the public Internet when the target is outside your local network, and intermediate routers may respond with their own IP address and round-trip time. The app only displays this information to you; it is not transmitted to Trazely or any third party.
Please note that, as with any direct network communication, the target host and any intermediate routers see the public IP address of your device and may log the probe under their own privacy and operational policies. This processing is performed by those third parties, not by Trazely, and is the same kind of disclosure that occurs whenever your device contacts an Internet host (for example when you open a website).
No Uploads from the App, No Third-Party SDKs
The Trazely app itself does not upload, sell, or share scan, ping, or traceroute results. The app does not contain analytics, advertising, crash reporting, or any other third-party SDK that transmits data. No personal data is transferred from the app to recipients in third countries or to international organisations. Trazely does not keep a permanent scan history.
Purposes and Legal Bases
Where personal data is processed in connection with Trazely, the purposes and legal bases under Art. 6(1) GDPR are as follows:
- Local network discovery and connectivity diagnostics (IP addresses, hostnames, MAC addresses, device names, manufacturer/model, response times, traceroute hops, open services or ports). Purpose: to provide the core function of the app, which you actively initiate. Legal basis: performance of the contract for the requested service (Art. 6(1)(b)) and/or legitimate interest in providing user-initiated diagnostics (Art. 6(1)(f)). Processed locally on your device only.
- Wi-Fi name (SSID) and router identifier (BSSID). Purpose: to display the name of the Wi-Fi network you are currently connected to. Legal basis: legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)) combined with your authorisation through the operating system permission prompt. Held in memory only; not persisted.
- First-run legal-notice flag stored in device settings. Purpose: to remember that you have already seen and confirmed the first-run notice, so it is not shown again. Legal basis: legitimate interest in not repeatedly showing the same notice (Art. 6(1)(f)). Stored locally until you uninstall the app or clear its storage.
- Support and privacy correspondence sent to support@wolfmajer.com. Purpose: to handle and respond to your request. Legal basis: pre-contractual or contractual measures at your request (Art. 6(1)(b)) and legitimate interest in providing support (Art. 6(1)(f)); for privacy-rights requests, also compliance with a legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)). Messages are kept only as long as necessary to handle the request and to satisfy any applicable legal retention obligations, and are not used for any other purpose.
- Website hosting and server logs for these legal pages. Purpose: operating and securing the website. Legal basis: legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)). See the section below for details.
Hosting and Server Logs (Legal Pages)
This privacy, terms, and impressum website is served through Cloudflare, Inc. (101 Townsend Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA), acting as a processor on behalf of the controller. When you load these pages, Cloudflare automatically processes technical request data, including your IP address, the requested URL, the HTTP referrer, the user agent string, and the timestamp. This data is used to deliver the content, to provide TLS termination, and to protect the site against abuse and attacks. It is retained for short, security-related periods set by Cloudflare and is not used to build profiles of visitors.
Legal basis: legitimate interest in operating and securing the website (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)). A data processing agreement with Cloudflare is in place. Because Cloudflare is a US-based provider, the processing involves a transfer to a third country; this transfer is safeguarded by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, to which Cloudflare is certified, and by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses where required. The hosting provider may change in the future; if it does, this section will be updated accordingly.
Permissions
Network access is used to discover local devices and to send diagnostic probes you initiate.
Location permission and the Wi-Fi name
Android (since version 8) and iOS (since version 13) treat the Wi-Fi name (SSID) and the router identifier (BSSID) as location information, because public databases can map these values to approximate geographic coordinates. As a result, the operating system requires location permission before any app can read them, even if the app does not use GPS.
Trazely requests this permission only to display the name of the Wi-Fi network your device is currently connected to. Trazely does not request, read, store, or transmit your geographic location, and the SSID/BSSID are processed locally on your device and never uploaded. You can decline this permission and continue to use the app; only the Wi-Fi name display will be unavailable. You can revoke the permission at any time in your device settings. The legal basis and retention for this processing are stated in the "Purposes and Legal Bases" section above.
Your Rights
Under the GDPR, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data:
- Right of access (Art. 15)
- Right to rectification (Art. 16)
- Right to erasure / "right to be forgotten" (Art. 17)
- Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18)
- Right to data portability (Art. 20)
- Right to object to processing (Art. 21)
- Right to withdraw consent at any time (Art. 7(3)), without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal
Because Trazely does not collect or store personal data on any server, most of these rights have no data to act upon. To exercise any right, or for any privacy question, contact the controller at support@wolfmajer.com.
Right to Lodge a Complaint
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR), in particular in the EU/EEA Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement.
The supervisory authority for the controller is the Austrian Data Protection Authority (Ă–sterreichische Datenschutzbehörde, Barichgasse 40–42, 1030 Vienna, Austria, www.dsb.gv.at).
Children
Trazely is not directed at children under 16. You must be at least 16, or the minimum age of digital consent in your country, to use the app without the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian. The provider does not knowingly process personal data of children below that age.
Changes to this Policy
This policy may be updated to reflect changes in the app or in applicable law. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the latest revision took effect.
Open-Source Licenses
Open-source licenses are available in the app through the Info/About dialog and its open-source licenses button.
