HashExplorer
Privacy Policy
HashExplorer doesn't collect any data about you. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking, and DuckyLabs runs no server for the app. What the app knows stays on your devices.
What stays on your devices
To do its job, HashExplorer stores the following on your iPhone or iPad:
- The miners you add: the name you give each one, its network address and host name, and its hardware ID (MAC address), used to recognise the same miner if its address changes.
- Readings from your miners (hashrate, power, temperatures, shares and similar) for up to 9 days, to draw charts and averages.
- Your settings, tuning restore points and the state of the alerts you turned on.
The widgets (Home Screen and Lock Screen) read a summary of this from a storage area the app shares with them on the same device, and may ask your miners for fresh readings over your local network. If you use the Apple Watch app, your iPhone sends that summary to your paired watch through Apple's WatchConnectivity. Like other app data, it can be included in your device backups, which Apple handles under its own privacy policy.
None of this is sent to DuckyLabs or anyone else.
Your local network
HashExplorer talks to your miners over your local network, using the web interface built into their AxeOS firmware. It asks for iOS's Local Network permission to do this. To find miners it listens for the names they announce on the network (Bonjour), and when you tap Scan it checks the addresses on your local subnet for AxeOS miners.
AxeOS has no login and uses plain HTTP, so other devices on your network can see this traffic, as they can when you use AxeOS in a browser. "Open AxeOS" opens your miner's own page in your web browser.
Network & Prices (optional)
Odds & Earnings can show network difficulty, block rewards and coin prices. This is off until you turn it on. When it's on, HashExplorer requests public statistics from these services when you open Odds & Earnings, at most about once an hour, and never in the background:
- mempool.space, for Bitcoin difficulty, rewards and prices (their privacy policy)
- Blockchair, for Bitcoin Cash statistics (their privacy policy)
These requests contain nothing about you or your miners. Like any web request, they show your IP address to the service. Turn Network & Prices off in Odds & Earnings to stop them.
Notifications
Alerts are optional and are created on your device; there is no push server. When the app is closed, iOS lets it check your miners from time to time (Background App Refresh). You can turn alerts off in the app or in iOS Settings.
Deleting your data
Settings › Delete All History removes all stored readings. Removing a miner removes its readings and alerts. Deleting the app removes everything it stored on that device; deleting the watch app does the same on your Apple Watch.
If you email us
If you write to support@duckylabs.tech, we receive your email address and whatever you include, such as your device and miner models. We use it only to answer you (our legitimate interest in replying), keep it no longer than 12 months after the conversation ends, and delete it sooner if you ask. You can ask for a copy, correction or deletion at the same address. If you're in the EEA or the UK, you can also complain to your data protection authority.
These pages use no cookies, analytics, or third-party fonts or scripts. The site's host may log visitors' IP addresses for security, under its own privacy policy.
Children
HashExplorer isn't directed at children and collects no data from anyone, including children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new effective date. If the app ever starts collecting data, this policy and the app's App Store privacy details will say so first.
