Privacy policy: Wi-Fi Analyzer

Wi-Fi Analyzer has no user accounts. What you create in the app stays on your phone unless you choose to share it. The app is free and shows ads through Google AdMob; a one-time purchase removes them. We do not sell personal data.

Who is responsible

The controller of personal data for Wi-Fi Analyzer is:

What the app processes

Location permission and Wi-Fi scans

Android shows nearby Wi-Fi networks only to apps with the precise location permission, so the app asks for it while you use the Networks or Channels screen. The app never reads, stores or sends your location; it uses the permission only to receive Wi-Fi scan results. Scans run only while the app is open on one of those screens, never in the background. Without the permission the app still shows the network you are connected to.

Scan results and room measurements

Network names, access-point addresses (BSSIDs), signal levels and the room names and signal measurements you save are stored only on your phone and never sent anywhere. Manufacturer names come from a list built into the app; no lookup is made online.

Connection details and ping

The connection screen shows your phone's addresses, gateway and DNS servers, read from Android. If you tap Ping, the app sends four pings to your router on your local network only.

Permissions are optional: the app asks only when you use a feature that needs them, explains why, and keeps working if you say no.

Ads, purchases and Google services

Advertising (Google AdMob)

The app shows ads from Google AdMob. To show and measure ads, Google processes your device's advertising ID, IP address, device and app information and how you interact with ads. In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland we ask for your consent through Google's consent form before any personalised ads are shown; without consent, Google shows only non-personalised or limited ads. You can change your choice at any time in the app: Settings → Privacy options. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in Android settings. Google's use of this data is described at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

US residents

Under some US state privacy laws (for example in California), letting Google use your device's data to show ads based on your activity in other apps and websites can count as “selling” or “sharing” personal data. You can opt out at any time in the app: Settings → Privacy options. After you opt out, Google shows ads with restricted data processing. We do not sell personal data for money.

Purchases (Google Play)

The “Remove ads” purchase is processed by Google Play. We never see your payment details. Google gives us the order number, product, date, country and price, which we keep as long as Polish tax law requires (usually 5 years).

Ratings

The app may occasionally show Google Play's rating prompt. Your rating and review go to Google Play, not to us.

Backups

If Android backup is turned on, Android may back up the app's settings and saved data to your Google account. This is controlled by you in Android settings.

What we do not do

No accounts, no selling of personal data for money, and no analytics or crash reports sent to us from the app.

Your rights and legal details

Legal bases

Personalised ads: your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)). Purchases: performance of the contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) and our tax obligations (Art. 6(1)(c)). Non-personalised ads that fund the free app, and security of our services: our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)).

Who receives data

Google (Google Ireland Ltd. and Google LLC) for ads, consent, purchases and ratings. Transfers outside the EEA are covered by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.

Your rights

You can ask us for access to, correction or deletion of your data, restriction of processing, data portability, and you can object to processing based on legitimate interest. You can withdraw consent at any time (Settings → Privacy options) without affecting earlier processing. Most data exists only on your phone: uninstalling the app deletes it. You can also complain to the Polish data protection authority: Prezes Urzędu Ochrony Danych Osobowych, ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warszawa, uodo.gov.pl.

Children

The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date below.
