Privacy Policy for AdGuard Mobile

Last updated: April 2026

Short version: AdGuard Mobile does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to any server other than your own AdGuard Home instance.

Overview

AdGuard Mobile is an open-source mobile companion app for AdGuard Home. This privacy policy explains how the app handles your data.

Data We Collect

AdGuard Mobile does not collect any data. Specifically:

Data Stored on Your Device

The app stores the following information locally on your device only, using Android's secure encrypted storage (expo-secure-store):

This information never leaves your device except to communicate directly with your own AdGuard Home and OPNsense instances on your local network.

Network Communication

AdGuard Mobile communicates exclusively with:

  1. Your AdGuard Home instance — all DNS stats, device lists, query logs, and settings are fetched directly from your self-hosted AdGuard Home server on your local network.
  2. Your OPNsense instance (optional) — DHCP lease data is fetched from your self-hosted OPNsense router for MAC-based device identification. This is only used if you enable OPNsense integration.
  3. api.macvendors.com — used to look up device manufacturer names from MAC address prefixes (OUI lookup). Only the first 3 octets of a MAC address are sent, never a full MAC address.

No other external servers are contacted.
