Freegate

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 17 Oct 2026

Freegate is a client app for viewing a Frigate NVR instance that you own and operate. This policy explains what the app handles and what passes through the optional notification relay run by Cagri IT Services OÜ.

What stays on your device

Server addresses and app preferences are stored locally on your device. Server credentials and headers are stored in the iOS Keychain. All of this is removed when you delete the app. It may be included in your device backups under your own control.

To show pictures in notifications, a copy of your server addresses and credentials is shared with the app's own notification extension through the iOS Keychain. It never leaves your device. Notifications only carry the picture's relative path on your server; your device fetches the picture, so the picture itself never passes through our notification relay.

Connection to your Frigate server

Live video, recordings, snapshots, and event data are exchanged directly between your device and the Frigate server address you enter. They do not pass through Cagri IT Services OÜ. We have no access to your server traffic.

Two-way talk

When you hold the talk button, microphone audio is streamed directly from your device to your camera through your own Frigate server. The app does not record audio.

Notifications (optional)

If you turn on push notifications, the app pairs once with our notification relay at freegate-notifications.cagriari.com.tr. The relay exists because iOS cannot receive Web Push directly from your Frigate server - it acts as a bridge between Frigate's notification system and Apple Push Notification service.

The relay stores, per device:

• A random pairing token (we generate it; you can delete it at any time).
• Your Apple Push Notification token (the iOS push delivery address).
• Your filter preferences (cameras, labels, quiet hours, anti-spam throttle).
• The cryptographic key pair Frigate uses to send encrypted notifications to the relay.
• For each Frigate server you connect, the time of the first push that reached your device through that server. Used by the app to show per-server notification setup status. Hostnames, URLs, names you give your servers, and any other server-identifying details are not sent.
• App environment (for development/testing purposes)

When Frigate detects something on a camera you selected, it sends an encrypted Web Push payload to our relay. The relay decrypts it, applies your filters, and forwards the alert text and the relative picture path on your server to your device through Apple. The picture itself is downloaded by your device directly from your Frigate server; it never passes through the relay. The relay holds no credentials to your Frigate server and cannot reach it. No notification contents are written to long-term storage on the relay.

Removing the pairing from Settings → Notifications deletes everything above from the relay.

No analytics, no tracking

The app contains no analytics SDKs, no advertising, and no third-party tracking. No usage data is sent to Cagri IT Services OÜ.

Children

Freegate is not directed at children under 13.
