PrivacySweep

PrivacySweep helps you inspect a hotel room or short-stay rental in a calm, structured way, and keep a private record of what you checked. It is a checklist and a note-taker first. You work through a short list of physical checks, at your own pace, and mark each one as checked, skipped, not applicable or a concern. You can add notes and photos that stay on your phone. WHAT IT DOES - Guided room checklist. A quick path of about five to ten minutes, or a fuller one. Start with private areas and objects facing beds, changing spaces and bathrooms. Notice anything unusual, compare it with normal fixtures, and write down what you can see. - A 30-second Bluetooth look. Optionally, PrivacySweep listens for Bluetooth Low Energy advertisements that your phone can see nearby. It shows what each one broadcast, such as a name if one was supplied, and when it was last seen. It does not pair with or connect to anything. - Neutral explanations. Every observation shows the raw fact and a separate plain-English explanation. A Bluetooth device nearby could be headphones, a television, a speaker or a neighbour's phone. A strong signal does not tell you where something is or what it does. - Your own labels. Mark something as "my headphones" so you can see what is left. - Private notes and photos. Add a note or a photo to any concern. Camera access is requested only if you choose to take a photo, and nothing is uploaded. - A record of what was checked. Your summary lists the checks you completed, the ones you skipped, the ones that could not run, and anything you noted. Export it as text, after a preview, whenever you choose. Identifiers and photos are left out of an export unless you add them. - Delete anything, any time. Delete a single inspection or everything. WHAT IT CANNOT DO PrivacySweep cannot reliably detect offline audio recorders or arbitrary radio transmitters. It does not detect hidden cameras. It cannot tell you that a device is recording, and it does not certify a room safe. An inspection record shows what you checked and what you observed. It cannot show that nothing is there. A Bluetooth check only sees devices that are advertising and visible to your phone. Many devices do not advertise at all. An empty result is not an all-clear, and PrivacySweep will never show one. If you notice something that concerns you, PrivacySweep offers practical next steps, such as documenting what you see, leaving the area if you feel uncomfortable, and contacting the property or booking platform. It never contacts anyone for you. For higher-risk situations, a specialist assessment may be appropriate. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No account and no sign-up. - Your inspections stay on your phone. - No ads, no tracking, and no sale of data. - No microphone access. - Works without a connection, including airplane mode. WHO IT IS FOR Frequent travellers who want a short routine on arrival. Short-stay guests who want to document a specific concern. Anyone who would rather have a clear, honest record than a scare. PrivacySweep is made by Overpass Limited, a small UK software company.
