Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

What the app stores

The FRNs you add, the license data fetched for them, your app settings, and cached map locations are stored locally on your device only, using Apple's standard on-device storage. This data never leaves your device except as described below.

Data sent to the FCC and FAA

To retrieve license information, the app loads pages from the FCC's public Universal Licensing System (ULS) directly from your device, the same way a web browser would. The FRNs and call signs you search are sent to fcc.gov to retrieve the corresponding public license records. For antenna structures, the app also sends the structure's FAA study number to the FAA's public obstruction evaluation site (oeaaa.faa.gov) to retrieve the case status and any determination letters. These are the agencies' own public systems; the developer does not see or receive this traffic. See the FCC's privacy policy at fcc.gov for how they handle requests to their site. The FAA's privacy policy is available on faa.gov.

No third-party services

The app uses no third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs. Besides Apple's own frameworks, it includes one open-source library, ZIPFoundation, which is used only to unpack data files downloaded from the FCC. That library does not collect or send any data.

Notifications

If you enable license expiration reminders, they are scheduled as local notifications on your device via Apple's notification system. No reminder data is sent anywhere.

Location

The app displays license site locations from FCC public records on a map. It does not access or use your device's actual location. Maps are drawn by Apple Maps, so the map area you view is requested from Apple. Apple's handling of that request is covered by Apple's privacy policy.

Data deletion

Removing an FRN from the app deletes its cached data from your device immediately. Deleting the app removes all stored data. Because there is no server or account, the developer has no copy of your data to delete on request.

Children's privacy

FRN Dashboard is a professional/technical tool not directed at children and does not knowingly collect data from children.
