Techion is a client for one or more Technitium DNS Servers that you control. Core server traffic travels directly between your device and that server.

At a glance The essentials
  • Techion is a client for the Technitium DNS Server you choose and control; core server requests travel directly between your device and that server.
  • Credentials and much of your app data are kept on your device or in services you choose, such as iCloud. Apple separately processes App Store purchases and platform data under its own policies.
  • You remain responsible for the Technitium server, DNS providers, and data you access through the app.
  • Techion provides data controls, such as deleting all local app data, logging out from servers, and deleting servers from the app. When using the backup feature, you can choose to export or delete the backup in Techion.
  • Techion has an optional diagnostic collection opt-in, known as "Techion Analytics." When allowed, it uses pseudonymous aggregate summaries to help improve the app and service. These summaries are sent to Techion-operated infrastructure only, never to advertising or tracking services.
  • Techion Analytics collection is limited to unsensitive data, such as whether Techion-provided features are used and how often. Collection never includes DNS queries, credentials, server content, or detailed event tracking. You can deny or later turn off analytics, and the app provides controls to reset local analytics data and request deletion of associated data locally and from Techion-operated infrastructure.
  • Contact Techion's developer through the app's Support section.
    Go to "Settings" → "Support" → "Contact Developer" to reach out with any questions or concerns.

This summary is provided for convenience. The full Privacy Policy below controls and explains the details, choices, retention, disclosures, and rights that apply.

This Privacy Policy explains how Techion LLC ("Techion," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and retains information when you use the Techion iOS application, techion.dev, and related pages or services (collectively, the "Services").

01 Scope and Responsibility

Techion LLC is responsible for personal information that Techion determines how and why to process, including information processed through Techion Analytics and the Techion website. The operator of your Technitium DNS Server, your DNS providers, Apple, and other third parties are separately responsible for information they process under their own terms and privacy practices.

This Policy does not govern a Technitium DNS Server merely because you access it through Techion. If you use Techion for an employer, customer, or other organization, that organization may control the server data you access and may have its own privacy obligations.

02 Information Used to Provide the App

The app processes information you provide or request in order to connect to and administer your configured server. Depending on the features you use, this may include:

  • Credentials, authentication and session information, and server connection details;
  • DNS activity, logs, statistics, records, blocking and allow-list data, and other server content or configuration that you access;
  • Saved servers, searches, filters, preferences, cached data, widgets, backups, and other local app data; and
  • Commands and configuration changes that you direct the app to send to your server.

This information is generally processed on your device and sent directly to the server address you configure. Credentials and authentication tokens are kept in protected device storage. Saved-server records, preferences, and other app state are stored locally. Some protected credentials or cloud-stored files may remain after the app is removed unless they are separately deleted.

⚠️

Your server is your responsibility. Techion does not control your Technitium server, its hosting provider, its upstream DNS services, or their logging and retention practices. If you permit insecure TLS or use an unencrypted connection, information may be exposed in transit.

03 Techion Analytics

Techion Analytics may record limited aggregate usage information locally while your choice is pending or enabled. These summaries are not uploaded until you choose “Allow.” Techion Analytics contains aggregate summaries rather than raw event tracking, and does not maintain or transmit a raw analytics event stream. Summaries may include:

  • App opens, usage sessions, and time spent using the app;
  • The screens and feature categories used, including broad categories of paid-feature use;
  • Selected enabled or disabled app settings;
  • Errors by broad category, not raw error text; and
  • General app, operating-system, and device information.

Each upload includes a persistent pseudonymous installation identifier. The identifier is not your Apple ID, server account, email address, advertising identifier, or authentication credential.

Techion Analytics does not include DNS queries or other server content, domain names, server addresses or URLs, usernames, passwords, API tokens, search terms or history, blocking or allow-list data, server configuration, backup contents, raw requests, raw error messages, raw analytics events, or client event, request, or session timestamps.

Analytics payloads do not contain IP-address fields. As with any internet request, Techion's hosting and network infrastructure may nevertheless process ordinary connection metadata, such as an IP address, protocol information, and request time, to deliver and protect the service.

04 Analytics Choice and Integrity

After setup, Techion asks you to choose “Allow” or “Don't Allow,” and you may change your analytics setting later in Privacy & Security.

Choosing “Don't Allow” disables future collection and newly initiated uploads, resets the app's analytics store and local analytics identifier, and requests deletion of associated Techion analytics data. If the deletion request cannot be completed immediately, it may be queued and retried automatically. Choosing “Allow” leaves analytics enabled.

Turning analytics off later stops future collection and newly initiated uploads but does not itself request remote deletion or erase local summaries or records already received by Techion. An upload already in progress may still complete.

The in-app "Reset Analytics Data" control resets the app's analytics store and local analytics identifier and requests deletion of associated Techion analytics data. If the request cannot be completed immediately, it may be queued and retried automatically. Limited deletion and security records may remain to process retries, prevent reuse of deleted identities, and document deletion status.

Techion may use cryptographic verification to help ensure analytics requests originate from an authentic app installation. Related verification records may be retained as reasonably necessary for service integrity, fraud prevention, abuse investigation, and legal compliance. Apple separately processes information it receives through its platform services under its own privacy practices.

05 Backups, iCloud, and Purchases

Backups. If you create a backup, Techion downloads selected Technitium server data to your device. A backup may contain sensitive server content or configuration, logs, statistics, authentication information, or other content you select. Backups are stored in local app storage or, if you choose iCloud, in Techion's iCloud storage. Apple processes iCloud-stored files under your Apple account and its own terms. Techion does not receive backup contents through Techion Analytics.

Purchases. Techion PRO purchases and subscriptions are processed by Apple. Techion receives the product, transaction, entitlement, and subscription-status information needed to provide and restore purchased features. Techion does not receive your full payment-card or bank-account details. Apple controls billing, payment processing, refunds, and related records under its own terms and privacy policy.

Diagnostics. Apple may collect and make crash or diagnostic information available to developers according to your device, privacy, and App Store settings. If Techion receives such a report, it may be used to diagnose defects, improve reliability, and provide support.

06 Website Information

When you visit a Techion website, the hosting or content-delivery provider may process ordinary technical information needed to deliver and secure the site, including connection, browser, device, and request information. Techion pages may request font files from Google Fonts, which causes your browser to connect to Google and disclose ordinary request metadata to Google.

The current public policy, terms, and main information pages do not intentionally place advertising cookies or use advertising trackers. A browser, network provider, hosting provider, or linked third-party site may operate under separate settings and policies.

07 How We Use Information

Techion uses information as reasonably necessary to:

  • Provide app functions you request, maintain local state, communicate with your configured server, perform backups, and provide purchased features;
  • Measure aggregate app adoption and feature use, understand broad error categories, improve usability and reliability, and plan product development when you allow analytics;
  • Authenticate analytics submissions, prevent fraud or abuse, diagnose service failures, enforce our Terms, and protect users, Techion, and the Services;
  • Respond to support, privacy, or legal requests; comply with law; and establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; and
  • Operate, secure, and improve Techion websites and supporting infrastructure.

Depending on the jurisdiction and context, our legal basis may be performance of a contract, your consent, compliance with a legal obligation, or Techion's legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving the Services. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting processing that occurred before withdrawal.

08 Disclosure of Information

Techion does not sell personal information, share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, or use it to serve targeted advertisements. We may disclose information in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service providers. To vendors that host, deliver, secure, maintain, or support the Services. They may process information only for contracted services and related security or legal obligations.
  • Apple services. To or through Apple when you use Apple services for app distribution, purchases, subscriptions, iCloud, device backup, or other platform features.
  • Your chosen systems. To the Technitium server, hosting provider, DNS upstreams, or other endpoints you configure or direct Techion to contact.
  • Legal and safety matters. When reasonably necessary to comply with law or legal process; protect rights, safety, or security; investigate fraud or abuse; or enforce agreements.
  • Business transactions. In connection with a financing, reorganization, merger, acquisition, asset sale, or similar transaction, subject to appropriate confidentiality and legal protections.

Techion may also disclose information at your direction or with your consent, and may use or disclose information that has been aggregated or de-identified so that it cannot reasonably identify an individual.

09 Retention and Deletion

Local app data. Server records, preferences, cached data, backups, credentials, and iCloud files remain until removed by you, the app, or Apple. Logging out, resetting app data, and deleting the app have different effects; protected credentials and iCloud files may remain.

Analytics. Local analytics summaries are retained for up to 180 days. Only recent data is eligible for upload, and older data may be removed automatically. Received analytics are retained only as reasonably necessary for analytics, security, abuse prevention, legal compliance, and operations. Deletion requests remove, anonymize, or disassociate applicable data, although pending uploads or limited security records may remain temporarily.

Other records. Support, transaction, legal, security, and website records are retained only as reasonably necessary for their purposes, legal obligations, disputes, and applicable limitation periods.

10 Your Choices and Privacy Rights
  • Allow or deny Techion Analytics and change that choice in Privacy & Security;
  • Reset local analytics data and request deletion of associated analytics data;
  • Log out, remove saved servers, delete individual local data where controls are available, or reset app data;
  • Choose whether backups are created, what they include, and whether they are stored locally or in iCloud; and
  • Manage Techion PRO subscriptions and purchases through your Apple account.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, withdrawal of consent, or an appeal of a privacy decision, and to receive equal service without unlawful discrimination. These rights may be subject to exceptions.

11 Security

Techion uses reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information within its control. Credentials are kept in protected device storage, and analytics is designed around pseudonymous identifiers and aggregate daily summaries.

No storage or transmission system is completely secure. You are responsible for securing your device, Apple account, server, credentials, backups, and network configuration. Techion cannot guarantee the security of a server or connection you configure, particularly if you permit insecure TLS or an unencrypted endpoint.

12 International Processing

Techion and its service providers may process information in the United States and other countries where they operate. Those countries may have privacy laws different from the laws where you live. Where applicable law requires a transfer mechanism or safeguard, Techion will rely on an available lawful mechanism. Information you direct to your configured server is transferred to the location of that server and its providers.

13 Children

The Services are intended for people capable of administering a DNS server and are not directed to children under 13. Techion does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to Techion, use an official support channel so the matter can be reviewed and addressed as required by law.

14 Changes to This Policy

Techion may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the Services, data practices, providers, or law. The revised Policy will identify its "Last updated" date. When required by law, Techion will provide additional notice or obtain consent before a material change takes effect. Your continued use of the Services after an effective change is subject to the revised Policy, except where applicable law requires another form of acceptance.

15 Contact

For privacy questions, requests, or complaints, contact Techion LLC using the official contact information provided within the app or on Techion's App Store listing. This method is used so current contact information remains available without publishing direct LLC address information on this page.
