Effective date: November 10, 2026
This policy explains how the Hexapod Android app (“the app”), published by rookidroid (“we”, “us”), handles your information.
In short: the app does not collect, store or share any personal information. It has no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. Everything you make in the app stays on your phone unless you choose to save it somewhere else.
Information the app does not collect
The app does not collect or send us:
- your name, email address, phone number or any other contact details
- your location
- your contacts, photos, camera, microphone or other device content
- device identifiers or advertising IDs
- usage statistics, analytics or crash reports
We do not sell, rent or share any data with third parties, because we do not collect any.
Information stored only on your device
To work, the app keeps a small amount of data in its own private storage on your phone. This data is never sent to us.
- Robot address: the IP address and port of the robot you last connected to, so you don’t have to type them again.
- Studio work: your current workspace, saved gaits and the robot size you chose in the Studio.
- Pro status: whether Hexapod Pro is unlocked on this device.
You can delete all of this at any time by clearing the app’s storage in Android Settings or by uninstalling the app.
If Android backup is turned on for your Google account, Android may include this app data in your device backup. That backup is handled by Google under Google’s Privacy Policy, not by us. You can turn backup off in Android Settings.
Connecting to your robot
The app controls your hexapod robot over the robot’s own Wi-Fi network.
- It sends movement commands and poses straight to the robot on your local network, and reads the robot’s model and firmware version from it.
- The Calibrate mode opens the web page that the robot itself serves. That page comes from your robot, not from the internet.
- The app needs the Internet and network state permissions only to talk to the robot and to keep that traffic on the robot’s Wi-Fi when mobile data is also on.
None of this traffic goes to us or any other server.
Files you save or open
In the Studio you can save a sequence as a file or open one (a Hexapod Pro feature). The app uses Android’s standard file picker, and you choose where the file goes. The app only reads or writes the file you pick, and it cannot see your other files.
In-app purchase (Hexapod Pro)
Hexapod Pro is an optional one-time purchase made through Google Play Billing. Google handles the payment and your payment details. We never see or receive your card details, name or email address. The app only receives confirmation from Google Play that Pro was bought, so it can unlock the features. Google’s handling of your purchase is covered by Google’s Privacy Policy and the Google Play Terms of Service.
Children’s privacy
The app does not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
Security
Because the app does not collect or send personal information, there is nothing of yours on our side to protect. Data stored on your phone is kept in the app’s private storage, which other apps cannot read.
Changes to this policy
If we change how the app handles information, we will update this policy and its effective date. Significant changes will also be noted in the app’s release notes.
