Privacy Policy — SniperTAK

Last updated: 22 August 2026

SniperTAK is a plugin for ATAK-CIV developed by Grzegorz Kaszuba ("the developer").

The plugin computes ballistic firing solutions, reads weather data from a Kestrel 5700 meter and distance from a Vortex Impact 4000 rangefinder over Bluetooth Low Energy, and draws observation post, target, and range and bearing items on the ATAK map.

Data the plugin collects

None. The plugin does not collect, transmit, or share any personal or device data.

Specific facts behind that statement:

• The plugin declares no Android permissions of its own.
• The plugin contains no networking code. It opens no connections and sends nothing to the developer or to any third party.
• The plugin contains no analytics, advertising, or tracking libraries.
• The plugin does not use the advertising identifier.
• The plugin has no user account, no login, and never asks for an email address.

Bluetooth connections

You may pair the plugin with a Kestrel 5700 weather meter or a Vortex Impact 4000 rangefinder. The connection uses Bluetooth Low Energy and the Bluetooth permissions already granted to ATAK-CIV. The plugin reads measurements from the device — wind, temperature, humidity, air density, distance — and shows and uses them inside the plugin, on the same phone or tablet. Nothing from these devices leaves the phone or tablet through the plugin.

Files the plugin creates

The plugin writes the following data to storage on the device:

• Settings — language, units, dialog options — in the ATAK shared preferences.
• The shot log, in the ATAK application files directory, in snipertak/dziennik.jsonl.
• Files you export yourself, in the location you pick in the Android save dialog, or in Documents/snipertak/exports when that dialog is unavailable.

These files stay on the device. The plugin does not upload them. You may delete them at any time through ATAK or a file manager.

Data handled by ATAK

SniperTAK runs inside ATAK-CIV. Markers and lines the plugin places on the map are ATAK map items. Whether they leave the device depends on how you configure ATAK — for example on the TAK server you connect to and the contacts you share data with. That handling is governed by ATAK-CIV and by the servers you configure there. This policy covers only SniperTAK.

Distribution through Google Play

Google Play collects installation and crash data on its own terms, independently of the plugin. See the Google Play Services privacy policy.

Children

The plugin is intended for users aged 18 or over. It is not directed at children.
