PacketManifest does not collect, store, or share your personal data.
All network connection records — including hostnames, IP addresses, ports, and location data — are stored locally in a database on your device. This data is never transmitted to any server controlled by the developer.
To display the geographic location of remote servers, PacketManifest sends those remote IP addresses to a private GeoIP server at geoip.swf.wtf. These lookups are not logged or retained.
Your device's public IP address is also sent to geoip.swf.wtf once at launch to determine your approximate home location for the map display. It is not logged or retained.
PacketManifest contains no analytics SDKs, advertising frameworks, or crash reporting tools.
PacketManifest uses iOS's Network Extension framework to create a local VPN tunnel on your device. This tunnel is used solely to observe outbound connections. No traffic is routed to an external VPN server.
