Audit your apps by just using them
Simulate real usage scenarios, uncover hidden SDK behavior, and detect privacy risks in Android and iOS apps before they cause delays, fines, or reputational damage. Webclew combines live scanning and static analysis into one integrated view on data flows and compliance issues.
Static Build Analysis
Scan your app binaries for embedded SDKs and connect live trackers to their initiator.
PCAP File Upload
Upload captured network traffic (e.g., from test automation tools or a DPA) and Webclew will analyze it just as any other scan.
Permissions Simulation
Test how your app behaves for different device permissions and consent choices. Look for conflict between both to bulletproof respect for user choices.
Live App Scanning
Run your app like any other user and observe real-time data flows, SDKs and compliance alerts.
Bring Privacy Back Under Control
Uncover what your SDKs and third parties are doing under the hood. Webclew helps you fix violations fast and verifies resolution.
Continuous risk detection
Flag new risks with every release. Webclew alerts you when SDKs change behavior or collect unexpected data.

Personal data discovery
Understand what personal data enters or leaves your app. Webclew highlights payload-level detail and pinpoints risky transfers.

Third party management
Monitor what each SDK or embedded library collects so you also gain control black-box SDKs and their vendors.

Consent compliance
Validate tracking for device permissions (e.g., access to precise geolocation), OS-level signals (e.g., mobile advertising ID), and consent choices.

Mobile Privacy Auditing Made Easy
No rooting, no SDK access, no complicated man-in-the-middle setup. Webclew uncovers network traffic, reveals underlying data flows, and tells you what to fix.
1. Simulate User Behaviour
Run live or recorded sessions just like any other app user. We log every network request, cookie, and SDK for Android and iOS.
2. Decode Network Traffic
We enrich every request using our 5000+ tracker database to interpret user identity, data categories and use cases.
3. Validate Against Policy
Each flow is checked against GDPR, ePrivacy, OS-specific rules (like ATT), and your own privacy policy. Work with plain-language alerts and context-specific recommendations.
