Independence and No Affiliation
NetzSec and its ZeroTrace product line are independent security-research and anti-tracking tools. They are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, certified by, or otherwise connected to any of the third-party companies, products, or services they can detect, identify, name, or interoperate with.
Every third-party name on this site, in our apps, in our firmware, or in our documentation appears because our tools detect or describe that product — never to suggest a commercial relationship with its maker.
All Marks Belong to Their Owners
All product names, company names, logos, brands, and other trademarks or service marks referenced by NetzSec or ZeroTrace — including but not limited to Apple, AirTag, AirPods, Find My, iOS, iPhone, iPad, macOS, Apple Watch; Samsung, Galaxy, SmartTag; Google, Android, Pixel, Find My Device / Find Hub, Fast Pair; Tile; Chipolo; Pebblebee; Flipper Zero; Meta, Ray-Ban, Oculus, Quest; Ninebot, Segway; and all vendor names shown from the IEEE OUI registry — are the property of their respective owners (Eigentum der jeweiligen Rechteinhaber).
No third-party logos are shipped in our products; where a brand is named, it is named in text only.
Why These Names Appear (Nominative Use)
These names and marks are used solely in a nominative, descriptive sense — nominative Markennutzung within the meaning of §23 MarkenG and the referential use permitted by Art. 14 of the EU Trade Mark Regulation (EU) 2017/1001 — to identify the third-party device, protocol, data format, or manufacturer that our tools detect, classify, or are compatible with.
Their use does not imply any endorsement, partnership, certification, or affiliation. References to third-party products, including any emulation or compatibility features, are provided for lawful, authorised security-testing, research, and personal-safety purposes only, consistent with the Acceptable Use provisions of our Terms.
No Endorsement or Comparative Claim
Where our materials describe how a NetzSec or ZeroTrace tool interacts with, detects, or differs from a third-party product, those statements are intended as factual, descriptive information about detection and interoperability — not as comparative advertising, a claim of superiority, or an assertion that a named product is defective.
Any factual comparison is meant to be accurate and verifiable at the time it is made (§6 UWG). If you believe a statement about your product is inaccurate or out of date, please tell us (see Rights Holders) and we will review and correct it without undue delay.
Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi®
The Bluetooth® word mark and logos are registered trademarks owned by Bluetooth SIG, Inc.; any use is nominative or under licence. Wi-Fi® is a registered trademark of Wi-Fi Alliance®.
NetzSec and ZeroTrace do not claim Bluetooth or Wi-Fi certification. Both marks are used here only as adjectives to describe the relevant wireless technology.
Rights Holders
If you are a rights holder and believe a reference is inaccurate or improperly used, contact us at contact@netzsec.com and we will review it without undue delay.
