Spanish Radars
Last updated: 4 September 2026
The short version. Your location never leaves your iPhone. The app downloads a list of camera positions and works out the distances on the device — it does not send where you are to anyone, and it keeps no history of where you've been.
There are no accounts, no tracking, no advertising and no analytics in this app. Nothing about you is sold or shared with data brokers. Ever.
What the app handles, and where it goes
This is the complete list. If something isn't in this table, the app doesn't touch it.
| What | Where it goes | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Your location | Nowhere. It stays on your iPhone. | To measure the distance and bearing to nearby cameras. Processed entirely on the device, never transmitted, never stored as a track. |
| Camera and incident lists | Downloaded to your iPhone from public authorities | So the app knows where the cameras are. The request tells the source nothing about you beyond the fact that someone asked for the file. |
| Your settings | Stays on your iPhone | Alert distances, sounds, and which warning types you want. |
Permissions the app asks for
Location — Always
This one looks alarming, so here's why: warnings have to keep working with the screen off and while you're inside another navigation app, which is what driving actually looks like. “While Using” would stop warning you the moment you switched apps. The location is used on the device and never sent anywhere. Revoke it in Settings at any time and the app still works as a map, it just can't warn you.
Who else is involved
I have no servers. Where the app needs something it can't compute on your iPhone, it asks one of these services directly:
Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT)
Official Spanish traffic authority. Public camera and incident data.
Open Data Euskadi
Public data for the Basque Country.
Servei Català de Trànsit
Public data for Catalonia.
How long anything is kept
On your iPhone, for as long as you keep the app. I keep nothing, because I have nowhere to keep it — there is no backend, no database and no log of who uses the app. The third parties above keep what their own policies say they keep.
Deleting your data
Delete the app. iOS removes its storage, its caches and its Keychain items along with it, and there is no copy anywhere else. If you'd rather clear things without deleting the app, the app's own settings let you remove what it has stored.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct, delete and export your personal data, and to object to its processing. In practice, for this app there is almost nothing for me to act on: I hold no copy of your data, so there is no account of yours for me to look up.
What you can do yourself, right now, without asking me:
- Delete everything the app holds by deleting the app from your iPhone. iOS removes its storage, its cache and its Keychain items with it.
- Withdraw any permission in Settings → Privacy & Security, or in the app's own row in Settings.
If you want to exercise a right anyway, or you think I've got something wrong, write to hola@nachodivasson.com and I'll answer within 30 days. You can also complain to the Spanish data protection authority, the AEPD.
Children
This app is not directed at children under 13, and I do not knowingly collect anything from them.
Changes to this policy
If the app starts doing something new with your data, this page changes before the update ships, and the date at the top changes with it. I don't make changes retroactively.
Who is responsible
Ignacio Divasson, an individual developer based in Spain, is the data controller for this app.
