NightCluster

Privacy Policy

Effective November 10, 2026

Overview

NightCluster is a live car dashboard app for iPad, published by Raul Fregoso. A companion iPhone app, NightCluster Eye, is available for a dash-mounted iPhone. We do not operate user accounts or login, and we do not collect personal data on our servers.

Recordings and data on your device

Dashcam and Sentry recordings and your settings are saved in the app’s private storage on your device. Audio recording is off by default and is recorded only if you turn it on. Sentry records event clips while the vehicle is parked, which may capture people nearby. Recordings are not uploaded to any server of ours, or to any other server. They may be included in your device’s iCloud or computer backups, depending on your backup settings. A recording leaves the device only if you choose Save to Photos, where it may sync through iCloud Photos, or Share. Optional Sentry push alerts send a short text message to ntfy.sh or your own server, with no video, audio, or location. Location coordinates are sent to the map, speed-limit, traffic, and weather services listed below to fetch data for your area. If you optionally add a TomTom API key in NightCluster, TomTom also receives your approximate location with each speed-limit lookup; NightCluster is not affiliated with TomTom. On NightCluster Eye, Road Vision processes the iPhone camera on the device only. You are responsible for following local recording-consent and dashcam laws.

What we do not do

NightCluster and NightCluster Eye have no accounts or login, no analytics, no crash reporting, and no ads. The apps do not sell data.
