Privacy Policy — KSP Bluetooth Control
1. Introduction
KSP Electronics (“we,” “our,” or “us”) operates the KSP Bluetooth Control mobile application (the “App”). This Privacy Policy describes what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.
The App is designed to work primarily offline. Your settings, device history, and configurations are stored locally on your device and are not transmitted to any server unless required for diagnostics.

- Custom Commands — Macros and relay configurations you create
Information Collected Automatically
- Device Information — Device model and operating system version
- App Usage — Features used, screens visited, session activity
- Crash Reports — Error logs and stack traces when the app crashes
- Performance Data — App startup time and network request durations
- Bluetooth Scan Data — Names and identifiers of nearby Bluetooth devices during scanning
Information We Do Not Collect
- Names, email addresses, or phone numbers
- Physical location data
- Messages, files, or personal communications

- To measure and improve app performance
4. Permissions
| Permission | Reason | Data Accessed |
|---|---|---|
| Bluetooth | Required to connect to and communicate with Bluetooth Classic and BLE devices | Device names, MAC addresses, connection status |
| Location (Android) | Android OS requires this permission for Bluetooth scanning — it is not our choice | Permission only. No location data is accessed or stored. |
| Internet | Required for Firebase crash and performance reporting | Anonymised diagnostic data only |
5. Third-Party Services
We use Google Firebase for diagnostics and analytics. All Firebase services are provided by Google LLC.
| Service | Purpose | Data Sent |
|---|---|---|
| Firebase Crashlytics | Crash reporting | Device model, OS version, app version, stack traces |
| Firebase Performance | Performance monitoring | Startup time, render times, network latency |
| Firebase Analytics | Anonymous usage statistics | Screen views, feature events, session duration |
Firebase Privacy Policy: firebase.google.com/support/privacy
The App is built with the Flutter framework (Google LLC) and uses open-source Bluetooth plugins (Flutter Blue Plus, Bluetooth Serial). No personal data is shared with plugin developers.
6. Data Security
- Locally stored data is protected by Android system-level encryption and sandboxed storage
- Data transmitted to Firebase is encrypted in transit using TLS
- No raw device identifiers (IMEI, phone number) are transmitted to any server
- Bluetooth communications use standard protocol-level encryption and are limited to directly paired devices
7. Data Retention
| Data | Location | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| Settings & configurations | Local device | Until app is uninstalled or data is cleared |
| Connection history | Local device | Until manually deleted or app is uninstalled |
| Crash reports | Firebase Crashlytics | 90 days |
