Mikat is the new name of the app formerly called Cyberdeck. Only the name changed: the service, the controller, and these terms are the same.
SilverX · Lanicom S.A.S. · Last updated: October 25, 2026 · Version home-v9
This is a translation. If there are any differences, the Spanish version prevails.
Mikat (the “App”), developed by Lanicom S.A.S. (“we”), helps you check the security of your home Wi-Fi network. This policy explains what data we process and how, in accordance with Colombia’s Law 1581 of 2012 (Habeas Data) and the requirements of the app stores.
Your account: when you sign in with Apple, Google, or Microsoft, we receive your email address and, if your provider shares it, your name. We use them to identify your home and to write to you if there is something about your account that needs to be resolved.
Web access (owners): If you are the owner of a home, you can sign in to SilverX (silverx.app) with your Google, Apple, or Microsoft account to view your home’s security information in the browser. For this, we receive from that provider an identifier of your account and your email address; never your password.
Devices on your network: for each device the App discovers on YOUR Wi-Fi network, we store its local IP address, its MAC address, the name it announces on the network, the manufacturer inferred from the MAC, and an estimate of what type of device and operating system it is. Also the services it announces (ports, versions, and headers), the known vulnerabilities we find in them, and the name you give it.
Your connection: your public IP address, and an identifier derived from your network to recognize it between checks.
Your Wi-Fi network and the location permission: on the phone, the App uses the location permission solely to read the name (SSID) and the identifier (BSSID) of the Wi-Fi network you are connected to, and thus recognize your network. We send those two pieces of data to our server only for that purpose. We do not obtain or store your coordinates or your location. If you do not grant the permission, the App keeps working, but it may take longer to recognize your network.
Your own device: the model, the version of the App, an installation identifier, and—in the desktop versions—the MAC address of the device the App runs on, so that we can draw it correctly on your radar. Also its security status: the system version and whether it has pending updates, and whether the firewall, disk encryption, and the password or lock code are turned on.
Connection monitoring (computer): on Windows and on Mac, the App sends our server the Internet addresses the device talks to, in order to compare them with threat lists. Those that are not on those lists are discarded immediately. We only store the ones that match, as an alert: the address, the threat category, the device, and the time. On the Mac, the App can also block dangerous connections. To do so, it downloads a list of threat addresses to your device and, if you accept name checking, asks Quad9 (Quad9 Foundation, Switzerland) whether the name of the site you open is blocked as dangerous. Quad9 receives the site name and the IP address of your connection. When the App blocks a connection, we store the alert: the site or address, the threat category, the device, and the time. You choose whether it blocks only confirmed threats (recommended) or also those on broader lists.
Mikat DNS protection: if you turn it on, your device’s name queries go through our encrypted DNS service (see section 5). We do not keep a log of your queries: we only store those that correspond to a dangerous site, as an alert: the site, the category, the device, and the time.
Mikat VPN: if you turn it on, we store the public key that identifies your device on the VPN, the internal address we assign to it, when you turned it on or removed it, and when it last connected. We do not log which sites you connect to or the content of your traffic (see section 6).
Your internet speed and outages: if you measure your internet speed, the App measures on your device how long your router, the internet, and DNS take to respond, your Wi-Fi signal (where the system allows it), and the speed of a test download and a test upload. In addition, the devices with Mikat in your home check from time to time whether your router and the internet are responding, to know when your internet goes down and for how long: computers, every minute; phones with the Mikat VPN turned on, also every minute; and the other phones, when our server wakes them with a silent alert, at most every half hour, or when you open the App. For this, the App can use your home’s Wi-Fi network even if your phone is using mobile data, and send us the result over mobile data. When the device is on one of your home’s networks, by Wi-Fi or by cable, we store those measurements: the date and time, the result of each test, whether it was over Wi-Fi or by cable, the likely cause and, for each outage, when it started, when it ended, whether your router was responding, how many devices in your home saw it, and with what accuracy. Some devices measure the speed on their own a few times a day (phones, only while charging on your Wi-Fi). We do not store which sites you visit or the content of what you send: only the times and the speeds. We store nothing when you measure on a network that is not your home’s or over mobile data. If you are a guest on another home’s network and you authorized sharing with it, your measurements of that network are useful to that home without saying which device they come from. If you enter which internet provider you have and the speed you contracted, we store it to compare it with what was measured; to suggest the provider to you we use your home’s public IP address and a public list of networks. With this we tell you whether your internet goes down and whether you get what you pay for and, with the Plus or Enterprise plan, we put together a report for you to file a claim with your provider: the name, the ID number, the contract number, and the plan price that you type into that report stay on your device and we do not receive them. For the tests your device connects to Cloudflare (Cloudflare, Inc., United States) and Quad9 (Quad9 Foundation, Switzerland), which receive the IP address of your connection, just as when you open any web page.
Your home’s internet use: it helps tell you whether a device is eating up your internet and what it is being used for. Mikat counts from the moment it is installed, on all the devices in the home, including those of the members (the App lets each member know), so the information is there when you need it. We count how much data each device in the home uses (in megabytes and gigabytes), per day and per type: video, games, downloads and updates, calls, browsing, content delivery networks (CDN), and other. The counts come from three places. From the device itself, with the permission of whoever uses it: on Android, the “Usage access” permission; on the Mac, the App’s filter; on Windows, the Mikat watcher. From the Mikat VPN server, which counts how much each device connected to it uses and, to know the type, compares at that moment the name of the site the device asks for with the list of well-known services; it keeps only the type and the amount, never the site or the address. And from the home’s router, if it shares its counters: that gives the total for the home. With that total we calculate what the devices without Mikat, such as the TV, used together. iPhone and iPad do not allow counting per app: we only count them if they use the Mikat VPN. To know the type, the App compares, on the device, the site or app with a list of well-known services, and only sends our server the type and the amount. Whatever cannot be classified counts as “other”. We do not store which sites you visit, Internet addresses, app names, or the content of your traffic. We also store how much each device used in the last few minutes, to know whether one is taking up your internet right now; that figure is replaced with each report and leaves no history. The daily counts are deleted after 30 days. All members of the home see the day’s total; seeing the detail by device and by type requires the Plus or Enterprise plan. The owner of the home can stop the counting at any time in the App’s settings (it is their right to withdraw consent), and what has already been counted is deleted when the 30 days are up.
What your devices are saying (artificial intelligence and data they send): it helps tell you whether artificial intelligence (AI) is being used in your home and whether a device, such as a TV, is sending data to its manufacturer or to advertising companies even when nobody is using it. It is the only exception to the previous item: for these two types, besides the type and the amount, we keep the name of the service, taken from a list of well-known services (for example, ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude for AI, or the brand of your TV for the data it sends). Per device and per day we keep how much data went to each service, at what hours the activity started and ended, how much of it was at night and how much was sent while the device was idle (screen off or nobody using it); the device itself marks when it is idle, and night is measured with your home’s local time. We never keep what you type or say to an AI, the content of what a device sends, or the sites or Internet addresses: only the name of the service from the list and the amounts. The counts come from the same places as the previous item and also from Mikat DNS for the whole home (below). If you install Mikat on a TV with Android TV or Google TV, that TV is one more device in the home: it is counted the same way and with the same permissions. Mikat may alert you if a device uses AI at night or sends data while idle. The general notice (“AI is being used in your home”, “a device in your home sends data even when nobody is using it”) is seen by all members of the home; seeing which device, which service, how much, when and how to turn it off requires the Plus or Enterprise plan. These counts are deleted after 30 days (section 7), and the owner of the home can stop the counting as explained in the previous item.
Artificial intelligence engines on your network: when the App scans your network, it also tests whether a device in your home has a well-known AI engine switched on that other devices on the network can use (the programs that run AI on a computer of your own), and checks that it really answers as one, not just that its port is open. We keep only which engine it is and on which device it is, as one more signal of that device on your radar and to alert you. We do not see or keep what that engine contains (models, conversations or files): what it answers is read only to check what it is, and it is not kept. This test is done inside your network, like the rest of the scan; it does not go out to the Internet.
Mikat DNS for the whole home (optional): it is different from the Mikat DNS protection in section 5, which works per device. Only the owner of the home can turn it on: they authorize it in the App and change the DNS of their router to Mikat’s; then all the devices in the home, including those without Mikat, such as a TV, ask our service for Internet names. To serve only the homes that turned it on, we keep the public IP address of your home (we update it when it changes) and we answer no other. Of those queries we only count how many go to each service on the list of AI and data-sending devices, per home and per day: we do not keep the names that were asked for, nor a record of what each device requests. Because the queries arrive in the name of your home and not of each device, we link the service to a device by its brand: if there is only one TV of that brand in your home, we say it was that one; if there are several, “one of your TVs”; if we do not know, “a device in your home”. If your home reaches the Internet through the same address as another home (which happens with some providers), we cannot tell them apart and we attribute nothing: we tell you so. The queries are resolved through Quad9 (Quad9 Foundation, Switzerland), which receives them without your IP address, as in section 5. So that your home does not lose its Internet if our service fails, the router keeps a second DNS, 1.1.1.1, from Cloudflare (Cloudflare, Inc., United States): when the router uses it, those queries go directly to Cloudflare, which receives the IP address of your connection and the names asked for, and we do not see them. You can turn it off whenever you want (it is your right to withdraw consent).
Write to Miko: in the App you can write to Miko in your own words. Today the Mikat server answers: it looks in what you write for the words it recognizes and shows you the options in the App that best match what you asked for; Miko does not run anything on its own, and what happens depends on you tapping a button. The text you write is not kept. We only keep counts and intent: the day, your home, your role and your plan, how it was answered, the first option offered to you and how long it took, without the text. The same rule applies if in the future Mikat uses an artificial intelligence model to better understand what you write: the text will be processed on Lanicom servers and will not be kept either.
Guest on another home’s network: if you join another home’s network as a guest, the owner of that home and its members (not the other guests) see what your device is saying (artificial intelligence and data it sends) while it is connected to that network, and its security status. You authorize it when you join, or the first time you come back to that network, and you can withdraw it whenever you want; when you withdraw it, you stop being a guest of that network and that home stops seeing it. Without your authorization, that home sees none of this. Your own home keeps seeing your information as always.
Your subscription: if you pay for a plan, we receive from Apple, Google, or Microsoft the plan and the purchase identifier in order to validate the purchase. We do not receive your card details.
Shared homes: if you invite someone to your home, or you are invited, the members see that home’s radar; the owner sees the guests’ devices that are on their network, and the guest sees the owner’s name.
Family control: if you are the owner of the home, you can create “people” from your family in the App. For each person we store the name you write and their type (adult or child); we do not ask for their date of birth, their email or an account of their own. You can create rules for one person, for a group of people or for the whole home: blocked categories of sites (for example, adult content, gambling or social networks), allowed or blocked sites, safe search, ad and tracker blocking, times without internet with their days, a daily time limit and blocked apps; and you can assign the home’s devices to each person. We keep all this while your home exists or until you delete it. The content rules are applied by the Mikat DNS (section 5) according to the person who owns the device: it recognizes the device by a code of the device’s own, by its connection to the Mikat VPN or by the IP address of your home, and it uses the name of each site only to apply the rule. On the Mac, since Apple does not allow a DNS of our own alongside the network filter, the App’s filter asks our service, with the device’s code, about each new site and does not let the connection out if it is blocked for that person; it is the same query the Mikat DNS would make, and it is not the name check with Quad9. On the iPhone and the iPad, if you set a limit or a schedule, the App turns on Apple’s web filter, which turns off Safari’s private browsing on that device. The App is used by the adults of the home: the control of a minor’s devices is set up by their father, mother or guardian. On the person’s device, the App shows “Turn on control on this device” and asks for the system permissions that are needed.
Usage time: if you set a daily time limit, each of the person’s devices measures on the device itself how many minutes it has been used today and sends us only the total minutes of the day, per device and per day, never which apps or which sites were used. Our server adds up the person’s devices; when the limit is reached, the Mikat DNS cuts the internet on their devices and, on the iPhone and the iPad, Apple’s system blocks the apps and the web (except silverx.app and lanicom.co). How it is measured depends on the device: on Mac and Windows, the minutes with the session unlocked; on Android, the system’s “Usage access” permission, which whoever uses the device grants; on the iPhone and the iPad, Apple’s “Screen Time”, which only notifies the App each time a stretch of minutes is completed. The apps you choose there stay on the device as opaque Apple tokens, which we cannot read and do not receive. The minutes of each day are kept for 30 days.
Installed apps and blocked apps: so that the owner of the home can choose which apps to block, Mac, Android and Windows devices with Mikat send us once a day the list of installed apps (the identifier and name of each app). The iPhone and the iPad do not send it: there the apps are chosen with Apple’s picker, on the device itself. If a device stops sending the list, we delete it after 30 days. Blocking apps happens on the device and nothing that happens there is sent to our servers: on Android, an accessibility service is used only to know which app comes to the front and to go back to the home screen if it is blocked or, when the day’s time has run out or it is a schedule without use, with any app except the home screen, the phone, the keyboard, Settings and Mikat (it does not read the content of the screen or what you type); on Windows, the blocked program is closed; on the Mac, the blocked app is left without a connection (it is recognized by its signature); and on the iPhone and the iPad, Apple’s shield is used.
Your router: if you choose to ask your router for its official list of devices, we receive its brand and the list of connected devices (MAC, IP, name, band, and lease). Your router’s password is used at that moment and is not stored.
Checking your router: when the App scans your network, it also looks at how your router is protected: whether your Wi-Fi has a password and with what type of encryption, whether your router still has the factory password (only if you start the check and at most once a month per router, so as not to lock it) and which DNS service your home uses. For the last one, the App makes an ordinary name query that tells us the address of the DNS service your router uses, not yours. We store the result as part of your network’s security history: the type of encryption, whether the factory password worked (never the password) and who operates that DNS service. We do not store the name of your Wi-Fi in clear text or its password.
Wi-Fi password and guest code: if you ask the App for a QR code for your guests or a new password for your Wi-Fi, the password is used only on your device to draw the code or to suggest it to you. We do not store it or send it to our servers, and the App does not read the Wi-Fi passwords saved on your device.
Public Wi-Fi checks: if you use this feature, we store the result and the technical signals that support it, not the content of your traffic.
Alerts: if you turn on notifications, we store the identifier that Apple or Google assigns to your device so that we can send them to you. In addition to the alerts you see, our server can send your phone silent alerts that are not displayed, only so that the App can check whether your home’s internet is responding. They carry none of your data.
Consent records: we store when you accepted the terms, when you authorized checking a network, and from which IP address, because the law requires us to be able to prove it.
What we do NOT collect: the content of your browsing or a history of the sites you visit: from DNS protection and connection monitoring we only store the dangerous sites or addresses that generate an alert. From your home’s internet use we only store amounts of data per device, day, and type: never which sites you visit or which apps you use. With one exception, explained in section 2: from artificial intelligence and from the data your devices send we also keep the name of the service from a well-known list (for example, ChatGPT or the brand of a TV), never the site, the address or the content. What you write to Miko is not kept, and from Mikat DNS for the whole home we do not keep the names that were asked for. Nor do we store your files, your messages, your passwords, or your Wi-Fi password. Of your family’s usage time, only the total minutes of the day for each device reach us, never which apps or which sites were used. The App does not analyze the content of your network traffic. The names of the sites your Mac checks with Quad9 do not pass through our servers: we only receive the alert when one turns out to be dangerous.
3. What we use it for
Exclusively for the operation of the App: showing you your home’s radar, identifying risks, alerting you to new devices and dangerous sites, and giving you recommendations. We do not sell or share your information with third parties for commercial purposes. We do not do advertising tracking (no tracking).
If you turn on name checking on the Mac, your device directly queries Quad9 (Quad9 Foundation, Switzerland), a non-profit service dedicated to blocking dangerous sites. Quad9 receives the site name and the IP address of your connection. If you measure your internet speed, your device downloads test data directly from Cloudflare (Cloudflare, Inc., United States), which receives the IP address of your connection.
International transfers: two services used by the App are located outside Colombia: Quad9 (Switzerland), if you turn on name checking on the Mac, and Cloudflare (United States) and Quad9 (Switzerland), when you measure your speed or the App checks whether your internet responds. In both cases your device connects directly to them and they receive the IP address of your connection (and Quad9 also receives the site name); we do not send them any of your data. By turning on those features you accept that transfer, in accordance with Law 1581 of 2012. There is a third situation: if you turn on Mikat DNS for the whole home and your router uses its second DNS (1.1.1.1), those queries go directly to Cloudflare (United States), which receives the IP address of your connection and the names asked for; we do not send it any data of yours. By turning on that function you accept that transfer, in accordance with Law 1581 of 2012.
4. External scan
The analysis from the Internet is performed solely on the public IP address of YOUR own connection, and only after your explicit consent within the App. We do not scan arbitrary addresses or third-party networks.
5. Mikat DNS protection
If you turn it on, your device starts asking our encrypted DNS service “which address does this domain correspond to”, instead of asking your Internet provider’s. Our service compares each query with threat lists and resolves it through Quad9 (Quad9 Foundation, Switzerland), which receives it without your IP address. Queries that are not dangerous are discarded immediately: we do not keep a log of them. When your device queries a dangerous site, we store the alert to show it to you (section 2). This does not route your traffic: only the name query passes through us. You can turn it off whenever you want.
6. Mikat VPN
If you turn on the VPN (Plus plan or higher), your device’s traffic to the Internet travels encrypted to our server and goes out to the Internet from there. Traffic to your local network does not go through the VPN. We do not log which sites you connect to or the content of what you send; only what is necessary to operate the service (section 2). The VPN server also counts how much data your device uses and, to know the type, compares at that moment the name of the site your device asks for with the list of well-known services; it keeps only the type and the amount, never the site or the address. For artificial intelligence and the data your devices send, besides the type it keeps the name of the service from the list (section 2), never the site or the address. While the VPN is on, the server also sees the real public IP address your device connects from (your home’s or that of the network you are on) and uses it to know whether your device is at your home and so that the functions of your network (such as the external scan you authorize or Mikat DNS for the whole home) use your real address and not that of our server; we keep only the latest one and replace it at every connection, with no history. With the VPN on, Mikat DNS protection keeps working under the same rules as in section 5. You can turn it off or remove it from your device whenever you want.
7. Retention and deletion
We keep your data while your account is active. Alerts about dangerous sites and addresses are kept for 7 days when they are of lower risk, and for at most 12 months for those involving malicious software, remote control of infected devices, or botnets, as evidence for your security. The counts of your home’s internet use are deleted after 30 days. The per-service counts of artificial intelligence and of the data your devices send, including those from Mikat DNS for the whole home, are deleted after 30 days. The rest of your network’s security history is deleted after 12 months: other alerts, findings already resolved or that we did not confirm again, devices we did not see again, the score history, visits, Wi-Fi checks, expired invitations, scan jobs, and the codes and authorizations for the check from the Internet. With Mikat Enterprise, a device that is still in your company’s asset inventory is kept while it remains there. Speed measurements, your internet outages, router checks, and reports for your provider are kept for 12 months, like the rest of your network’s security history. The provider and the speed you contracted are kept while your home exists or until you delete them. Everything is deleted if you delete your account. The minutes of use of each day are deleted after 30 days, and so is the list of installed apps of a device that stops sending it. The people in your family, their rules and the devices assigned to each one are kept while your home exists or until you delete them, and they are also deleted with your account. You can delete your account and all your data at any time from Settings → Account → “Delete my account and data” within the App, or request it via the web on this page.
When you delete your account, we delete your home, your discovered devices, your findings, your consents, your alert identifiers, and the networks you have checked. From the security event log we keep only the record that the events occurred and when, without your email address, without your IP address, and without the content, so that we can detect abuse of the service.
Apart from your data, we maintain a global list of Internet addresses recognized as malicious, taken from public threat intelligence sources. That list does not describe any person and is not linked to your account, and it is kept permanently because it is public security information, not your information.
8. Your rights (Law 1581)
You have the right to know, update, rectify, and delete your data, and to revoke the authorization. Write to us at privacidad@silverx.app.
9. Security
We use encryption in transit (HTTPS) and controlled storage. No system is 100% infallible, but we apply reasonable measures in accordance with industry standards.
10. Changes to this policy
If we change what we collect or what for, we will update this page and its version number, and we will ask you again within the App when the change warrants it. Changes in this version (home-v9): the owner of the home can create people from their family (we store their name and their type, adult or child) with content rules, schedules, a daily time limit and blocked apps; devices send us the total minutes of use of each day and, Mac, Android and Windows devices, the list of installed apps, which are deleted after 30 days; on Android, app blocking uses an accessibility service that does not read the screen; and on the iPhone and the iPad, with a limit or a schedule, Safari’s private browsing is turned off. On October 14, 2026, without changing the version, we added what a home sees when you join its network as a guest. That same day we clarified how long your network’s security history is kept.
