Privacy Score: your iPhone App Privacy Report audit, fully on-device.
Available on the App Store
You think you're anonymous. You're not.
Every app on your iPhone is talking behind your back. Your location, your interests, where you spend your evenings. Privacy Score listens in. Locally. No server. No account.
In 2024, reporters identified 26 Secret Service agents, just by buying advertising data.
No leak. No hack. Just a file purchased from a data broker, like anyone else can. The whole story in eight panels.

Washington, D.C. The Secret Service protects the President, around the clock, in silence. That's the job.

Open market
Reporters buy a commercial ad dataset. A hundred million location pings, for less than the price of a dinner. Perfectly legal.

26 red dots
The file maps 26 people. Coming and going, day after day, around the White House.

Identified
26 names. 26 faces. Cross-referenced with a few public records. Not a hack. Legal. That's the problem.

Strava · 2018
2018. It already happened. A fitness app's global heatmap exposed the patrol routes of U.S. military personnel deployed overseas. For the whole world to see.

What Privacy Score does not do.
A privacy app has to be above reproach. The iOS source code is public. Here, line by line, is what we refuse to do.

Frequently asked
Everything you're still wondering.
Does Privacy Score see my browsing history? expand_more
No. Privacy Score only reads the App Privacy Report that iOS generates itself (Apple documentation): the list of apps that accessed your sensors and the domains they contacted. Your Safari history, your messages, your photos: never touched.
So how do you make money? expand_more
The app is free to download and free to use for your first complete scan, which stays accessible on your iPhone for life. To import a new report, you subscribe through Apple: €23.88 per year or €20.94 per six months. That is our only source of revenue. No advertising, no data resale, no partner pays us a commission.
Does it work on Android? expand_more
Not yet. Privacy Score relies on the native iOS report, a feature Apple opened up in 2021. An Android version would depend on Google offering an equivalent.
What happens if I uninstall the app? expand_more
Everything goes. The report, the score history, your preferences: it all lives inside the iOS sandbox. Apple wipes it on uninstall. No copy anywhere else.
Is the source code open? expand_more
The iOS source code is public on GitHub and open to audit. The promises “no server, no account, fully on-device” are verifiable: search the codebase for URLSession and you'll find zero active calls.
Take back control of your data.
Sixty seconds to import your report. One score. Three fixes. And the quiet satisfaction of knowing exactly where you were leaking. And where you no longer are.
