How LTE.app keeps you connected without knowing who you are

LTE.app was built around one principle: connectivity should never require surrendering your identity. Here's how privacy-first design works in practice.

Privacy shouldn't be a premium feature

Most eSIM providers require an email address, phone number, or account registration to buy a plan. LTE.app was built on the premise that none of that is necessary.

How anonymous IDs work

When you first open the app, it generates a secure anonymous device ID — a random string that identifies your session without identifying you. No email, no phone number, no name.

All your purchases, token balance, referral history, and membership are tied to this anonymous ID. If you lose your phone, you can restore access using your ID (stored locally on your device). If you prefer to remain fully ephemeral, you can.

The website: no account needed either

On lte.app, you can browse plans and complete a full purchase without creating an account. You provide payment details (processed by Stripe — LTE.app never sees your card number) and that's it. Your QR code appears on the confirmation page.

Privacy toggles in the app

Two settings give you explicit control:

Analytics toggle — Controls whether crash reports and speed test performance data are sent to LTE.app's servers. This is off by default. You have to actively opt in. Speed test data is only contributed to community network quality maps if this toggle is on.

Location toggle — Controls GPS access for auto-detecting your country (Just Landed feature), sorting WiFi Hub results, and giving Smart Coach location context. Every feature that uses location works without it — it just shows an explanation when you disable it rather than silently degrading.

Payment data

Stripe handles all payment processing. When you buy an eSIM on the website or in the app, your card details go directly to Stripe — LTE.app's servers never receive, store, or log payment card data.

GDPR and data deletion

LTE.app is fully GDPR-compliant. You can request deletion of all data associated with your device ID at any time through the app's Settings → Privacy → Delete My Data.

Security on the device

The app defaults to passcode-first authentication with PBKDF2-SHA256 hashing. You can add biometric unlock (Face ID or fingerprint) in settings. Deep links for eSIM activation are cryptographically signed to prevent tampering.
