Privacy Statement
Reticulum LoRa Web Client and the ws_bridge tool · last updated 2026-06-22
We do not collect any personal information. This is a static, serverless web application. There are no accounts, no analytics, no cookies, no tracking, and no server operated by us that receives, stores, or processes your data.
Data stays on your device
Everything the app creates or uses is stored locally in your browser's IndexedDB and never transmitted to us:
- Your Reticulum identity and private keys
- Contacts, messages, and conversation history
- Discovered nodes, bookmarks, and browsing history
- Settings (e.g. the chosen connection target)
You can export or delete this data at any time from within the app or via your browser's "clear site data" controls.
Messages
Messages are end-to-end encrypted in your browser and travel only over the Reticulum network you choose to connect to (a local LoRa radio, or a Reticulum daemon you point the app at). We operate no server that can see or store your messages.
Hosting
The site is served as static files from GitHub Pages. Like any web host, GitHub may log standard request metadata (such as IP address and browser user-agent) when serving files; this is handled by GitHub under its own policies and is not accessible to us. We add no analytics or other collection on top of it. JavaScript libraries are bundled and served from this same site — no third-party CDN is used.
Third-party requests (only for specific features)
- Map tiles — the Nodes map view loads tiles from OpenStreetMap
(
tile.openstreetmap.org), which receives your IP address and the map area you view. Open under OpenStreetMap's policy. If you never open the map, no tile requests are made. - Firmware version check — the optional RNode firmware flasher page queries the
public GitHub API (
api.github.com) for the latest firmware release. No identifiers beyond a standard web request are sent. - Bridge download — downloading the
ws_bridgebinary is a normal file download from this site (GitHub Pages).
The ws_bridge tool
The optional ws_bridge program runs locally on your own machine. It forwards bytes
between your browser and the Reticulum daemon you choose, and copies them without inspecting or
modifying message content. It collects nothing, stores nothing, and sends nothing of its own to any
third party.
Cookies
None are set.
