WiFiSet – Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 2025 Β· Last Updated: April 8, 2026

πŸ“± About WiFiSet

WiFiSet is an advanced wireless network analysis tool designed for IT professionals, network administrators, and technical users. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

πŸ”’ Privacy-First Design

WiFiSet does NOT collect, store, or transmit your personal data to external servers. All network analysis is performed locally on your device.

πŸ“Š Information We Collect

❌ What We DON’T Collect

  • Personal identification information
  • Precise location data
  • Network passwords or security credentials
  • Browsing history or internet activity
  • Hardware device identifiers (IMEI, Android ID, MAC address, serial number)
  • Advertising identifiers

βœ… What We Process Locally

  • WiFi network information (SSIDs, signal strength, security types)
  • Local network device information (IP addresses, MAC addresses)
  • Current network connection status
  • App settings and preferences (stored locally)
  • Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device information for tracker detection (Privacy Shield)
  • Camera frame analysis for IR detection (Privacy Shield β€” no images stored)
  • Electromagnetic field sensor readings (Privacy Shield β€” processed in real-time only)

πŸ”‘ Subscription Verification Data

If you purchase a WiFiSet Pro subscription, the following minimal data is processed through Google Firebase to verify your purchase and prevent subscription abuse:

  • Purchase Token: Provided by Google Play to verify your subscription is valid
  • Anonymous Installation Identifier: A one-way cryptographic hash (SHA-256) of your Firebase Installation ID β€” used to count how many app installations use the same subscription. This identifier is not linked to your identity, cannot be reversed, and resets when you reinstall the app
  • Basic Device Information: Device model (e.g. "Samsung Galaxy S24"), operating system major version (e.g. "Android 15"), and app version β€” used solely for display in our internal monitoring dashboard

Important: This data is collected exclusively for subscription fraud prevention, a legitimate interest under GDPR. No hardware identifiers (IMEI, Android ID, MAC address) are ever collected. The anonymous installation ID cannot identify you personally.

πŸ” Permissions Required

Permission Purpose Data Usage
Location Access Required by Android for WiFi scanning (Android 6.0+) Not stored or transmitted. Only used for WiFi discovery
WiFi State Access Read current WiFi connection information Used locally to display network details
Network State Access Monitor network connectivity Used for real-time connection status
Internet Access Perform speed tests and diagnostics Only for legitimate network testing
Nearby WiFi Devices Discover nearby devices (Android 13+) Local analysis only, no data transmission
Bluetooth Scan Scan for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices to detect hidden tracking devices (AirTag, SmartTag, Tile, Google Find My trackers) β€” Privacy Shield feature Used locally for tracker detection only. No data transmitted
Bluetooth Connect Access BLE device information (required on Android 12+ even for read-only access) β€” Privacy Shield feature Used locally to read device information. No connections established
Camera Detect infrared (IR) LED lights in hidden cameras β€” Privacy Shield feature Real-time analysis only. No images stored or transmitted

Important: Location permission is a technical requirement by Android for WiFi scanning and is NOT used to track your location. All Bluetooth and Camera permissions are used exclusively for Privacy Shield counter-surveillance features and process data locally only.

🎯 How We Use Information

All data processing occurs locally on your device for:

  • Network Analysis: Analyze WiFi networks and properties
  • Device Discovery: Identify devices on your local network
  • Performance Monitoring: Monitor network performance
  • Troubleshooting: Provide network diagnostic tools
  • Visualization: Display network information
  • Counter-Surveillance: Detect hidden tracking devices and spy cameras (Privacy Shield feature β€” all analysis performed locally)

🚫 Data Sharing

We do not share, sell, rent, or disclose any personal information to third parties.

All network analysis data remains on your device and is never transmitted to us or any third parties. The only data transmitted externally is subscription verification data (purchase token, anonymous installation ID, basic device info) sent to Google Firebase for fraud prevention purposes. This data is never shared with advertisers, data brokers, or any other third parties.

πŸ›‘οΈ Data Security

  • Local Processing: All network analysis on your device
  • Encrypted Storage: Subscription credentials stored using platform-level encrypted storage
  • Anonymous Identifiers: Device fingerprints are cryptographically hashed before transmission β€” the original identifier cannot be recovered
  • Temporary Data: Scan results are temporary
  • Secure Coding: Follows security best practices

πŸ‘Ά Children’s Privacy

WiFiSet is designed for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
