Privacy policy
Last updated 12 November 2026
This policy covers the NBTApps Android app (com.nbtapps.store) and this website.
The short version
- There is no account, sign-up or login.
- The app has no ads, analytics or crash-reporting SDKs.
- Your paired head units and the app’s keys stay on your phone.
- The app only connects to the internet to download the app catalogue and the packages you choose to install.
What the app stores on your phone
- Saved head units: the name you give each one and its Bluetooth device address.
- Pairing keys: a key pair the app creates to identify your phone to your head units, plus what it needs to recognise each head unit you have paired.
- Downloaded packages: packages you install, kept so they can be sent to your car.
None of this leaves your phone except as described below. The app turns off Android cloud backup, so this data is not copied to your Google account.
What the app sends, and where
- To
catalogue.nbtapps.com: HTTPS requests that download the catalogue and the packages you choose. Like any web server, it can see your IP address and which files were requested. - To your head unit, over Bluetooth: pairing and authentication messages, and the packages you install.
The app does not send your data to anyone else.
Permissions
