This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled in connection with the mobile application Personal Hotspot, WiFi Hotspot (the "App"). In this policy, "we", "us" and "our" refer to the developer of the App. By installing or using the App, you agree to the practices described here.
1. Information processed on your device
Core features of the App, such as managing your personal hotspot, viewing connected devices, running speed tests and monitoring data usage, operate locally on your device. This information is shown to you within the App and is not transmitted to or stored on our servers.
2. Information collected automatically
Like most mobile apps, we and our service providers may automatically collect limited technical information to operate, secure and improve the App, including:
- Device information (model, operating system version, language);
- App usage data (features used, crashes, performance);
- Advertising identifiers (such as the Google Advertising ID) used for analytics and advertising.
3. Permissions we may request
The App may request the following permissions to provide its features. Where required by Android, location permission is used solely to scan for and display nearby Wi-Fi networks and connected device details. We do not use it to track your physical location.
- Access to Wi-Fi and network state (hotspot and connection details);
- Location (Android requires this to read Wi-Fi network names and scan results);
- Network access (to run speed tests and serve ads).
4. How we use information
- To provide, maintain and improve the App's features;
- To diagnose crashes and measure performance;
- To display advertising that keeps the App free;
- To comply with legal obligations.
5. Advertising
The App is supported by advertising and may use Google AdMob to show ads. Advertising partners may use cookies and device identifiers to provide and measure ads, including personalized advertising where permitted. You can learn more and manage your choices at Google's Advertising page.
6. Analytics
We may use analytics services such as Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how the App is used so we can improve it. These services process usage and device data on our behalf.
7. Sharing of information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with service providers that help us operate the App (such as advertising and analytics providers described above), or when required by law.
8. Data retention
Information processed locally remains on your device until you clear it or uninstall the App. Data held by our service providers is retained according to their respective policies and only as long as necessary.
9. Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Children's privacy
The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
11. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal information, or to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will revise the "Last updated" date above when we do. Continued use of the App after changes means you accept the updated policy.
