Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Pager Rat ("we", "our", or "the App") handles your information. Pager Rat is designed with a "Privacy First" architecture. We do not collect, store, or transmit your personal data to any external servers.

1. Data We Do Not Collect

• We do not track your location using GPS/Network providers for analytics.
• We do not collect usage statistics or crash reports automatically.
• We do not upload your files, scripts, or "loot" to any cloud server.

2. Security Architecture & Local Storage

Your data is stored strictly on your local device within the Android App Sandbox. We utilize industry-standard encryption verified by our latest Security Audit.

• Database Encryption: All sensitive records (logs, handshakes) are encrypted at rest using SQLCipher (256-bit AES).
• SSH Keys: Authentication credentials are secured using the Android Keystore system.
• Connection Security: The app utilizes SSL Certificate Pinning to detect and prevent Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks on secure channels.

3. Permissions & Usage

The App requests specific permissions to function. Here is how we use them:

• INTERNET: Required to establish the SSH tunnel to your device.
  Note: To support the Hak5 WiFi Pineapple hardware, the app explicitly permits cleartext traffic only to the device's local management IP (172.16.52.1). All other traffic is subject to strict HTTPS requirements.
• ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Required to verify connection to the management WiFi before attempting commands.
• READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: (Optional) Used only if you explicitly choose to import payload files from your device storage.
• CLIPBOARD ACCESS: Used only when you initiate a "Copy" command from the terminal output or logs.

4. Third-Party Services

The App does not use any third-party advertising SDKs or tracking frameworks.

Audit Verification: Our February 2026 security assessment (MobSF) detected 0 User/Device Trackers in the production build.

5. Legal Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability

By using this application, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms:

• Trademark & Affiliation: Pager Rat is an independent community project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Hak5 LLC. "Hak5" and "WiFi Pineapple" are registered trademarks of Hak5 LLC. All trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
• Educational Use Only: This application is provided strictly for educational purposes and legitimate network administration/auditing where you have explicit permission to operate. The developers of Pager Rat do not condone illegal activity and are not responsible for any misuse of this tool or violations of law committed by the user.
• Hardware Risk & Liability: This software is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. While Pager Rat is designed to interact safely with the stock firmware, the nature of executing scripts, installing third-party payloads, and modifying device configurations carries inherent risks. The user assumes full responsibility for any loss of data, firmware corruption, or hardware issues that may arise during the operation of the device.
• Third-Party Scripts & Payloads: The "Payload Management" feature acts as a neutral interface allowing you to fetch scripts from external repositories (e.g., GitHub). Pager Rat does not vet, review, or control third-party code. You acknowledge that you are responsible for verifying the safety and functionality of any external script you choose to download or execute.
• User Data Responsibility ("Loot"): You are the sole controller of any data, logs, or "loot" captured using this tool. Pager Rat stores this data locally on your device and does not have access to it. You are responsible for ensuring that your data collection and storage practices comply with all applicable privacy laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) and wiretapping regulations in your jurisdiction.
• Export Compliance: This application utilizes standard cryptographic software (SSH, AES-256) which is subject to the export control laws of the United States. By using this software, you agree to comply with all applicable export regulations and confirm you are not located in a region subject to U.S. sanctions.
