Privacy policy
WarMOB collects nothing about you. It has no analytics, no advertising, no tracking and no third-party code, and the developer runs no server: the app connects only to the Warcon panels you add, to the picture addresses they give, and, if you choose to sign in with Discord or Steam, to those sign-in pages (listed below).
Effective 5 October 2026. Applies to the WarMOB app for iPhone and iPad (called WarconIOS until October 2026), including TestFlight beta builds. This version changes only the app's name: the previous version, effective 2 October 2026, said the same about what the app stores and where it connects.
What stays on your device
- Your panels: the addresses and names of the Warcon panels you add, the last username you signed in with on each, which panel you had open, and your app settings.
- A cache of each panel's features: what the panel supports and your account's role and permissions there, kept in the app's cache folder so the app opens quickly. iOS may clear it at any time; it is rebuilt from your panel.
- Your sign-in: the session cookies your panel issues when you sign in, kept in the iOS Keychain, readable only on this device and never moved to another one. Your password and two-factor codes are sent to your panel when you sign in and are never stored.
- Recent broadcasts: the last few broadcast messages you sent per server, so you can reuse them. Private messages (whispers) are never stored.
- Your panels, settings and recent broadcasts are included in your own device backups, like any app's settings; your sign-in is not.
Removing a panel in the app deletes its sign-in, its recent broadcasts and its cached features. Signing out deletes the session but keeps your panel's "trusted device" cookie, as a web browser does, so a later password sign-in can skip the two-factor step; "Forget this device" deletes that too.
Deleting the app doesn't sign you out. iOS keeps the app's sign-in after the app is deleted; the app erases it the next time it is installed and opened. To sign out for good, sign out or remove the panel in the app before deleting it, or end the session on your panel's Account page.
Where the app connects
- Your Warcon panels, at the addresses you enter. Everything you see and do in the app goes between your phone and your panel, under your panel's own privacy rules and its operator's control.
- Player profile pictures, from the image addresses your panel provides (usually Steam's image servers). These requests carry no sign-in information; as with any web image, the image host sees your IP address.
- A sponsor image host, if your panel shows a sponsor banner. The request carries no sign-in information; as with any web image, that host sees your IP address.
- Discord or Steam, only if you choose to sign in with them. Their pages open inside the app, under their own privacy policies, in a private browsing session that keeps nothing once you finish. Like any web page, they load their own content, such as images and captcha checks, from other services.
- Links to other websites, such as Warcon's own site, open in your default browser, whether you tap them or a Discord or Steam sign-in page opens them.
Face ID and the app lock
The app lock is on by default (you can turn it off in Settings): the app locks when it starts and when you come back after being away (5 minutes by default; Settings also offers immediately, 1 or 15 minutes), and hides its content in the app switcher. Unlocking uses iOS's Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode; the app only learns whether the unlock succeeded and never sees your biometric data.
TestFlight
If you test a beta through Apple's TestFlight, Apple may collect crash reports and the feedback you choose to send, and shares them with the developer, under Apple's privacy policy. You can turn this off in TestFlight.
Children
WarMOB is a tool for game-server administrators and is not directed at children.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
