This Privacy Policy explains how the NetPlus+ mobile application ("NetPlus+", "the App", "we", "us") handles information when you use it. NetPlus+ is a network diagnostics and utility app (speed test, ping, traceroute, DNS tools, port scanner, Wi-Fi analyzer, LAN/IoT scanning, SSH terminal, and related tools) for Android.
NetPlus+ has no user account system and no backend server operated by us. We do not collect or have access to:
| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Internet / Network State / Wi-Fi State | Required for every network tool in the app - speed test, ping, DNS, port scanning, etc. |
| Change Wi-Fi State / Change Wi-Fi Multicast State | Needed to scan for nearby Wi-Fi networks and to send/receive multicast (mDNS/SSDP) traffic in the Multicast Tester and LAN scanning tools. |
| Location (Fine / Coarse) | Android requires location permission before any app can read Wi-Fi network names (SSID/BSSID) or scan results, even though NetPlus+ does not use this permission to track your whereabouts. It's only used to power the Wi-Fi Analyzer and Nearby Networks scanner. |
| Background Location | Only used if you enable scheduled/background Wi-Fi monitoring; if you never enable that feature, it has no effect. |
| Foreground Service | Keeps a long-running speed test or ping monitor session active and visible to you while it runs. |
| Wake Lock | Prevents the screen from sleeping mid-speed-test so results aren't interrupted (only while a test is actively running, and only if you've enabled "Keep Screen On" in Settings). |
| Post Notifications | Used for optional alerts (e.g. threshold warnings from Ping Monitor). You can deny this without losing core functionality. |
| Receive Boot Completed | Lets scheduled background monitoring resume after you restart your device, if that feature is enabled. |
Certain tools work by sending the specific value you enter (an IP address, domain, or MAC address) to a third-party API in order to return a result. No other data about you is attached to these requests beyond what's inherent to making an internet request (e.g. your IP address, as with any web request).
| Tool | Third party | What's sent |
|---|---|---|
| IP Lookup, Dashboard network summary | ipinfo.io | The IP address you look up, or your own public IP if left blank |
| MAC Lookup, LAN/IoT device vendor labels | macvendors.com | The MAC address being looked up |
| Whois | Public WHOIS registry servers | The domain or IP being queried |
| DNS Lookup, DNS Speed Test | DNS resolvers you select (e.g. 8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1) | The domain name being queried |
| SSH Terminal | The SSH server you choose to connect to | Your entered host, username, and password/private key - sent directly, device-to-server, over an encrypted SSH connection. We never see this data. |
| Speed Test | Cloudflare speed test endpoints | Standard download/upload test traffic |
Each of these third parties has its own privacy policy governing how it handles requests it receives.
Speed test results, ping history, and packet sender history are saved in a local database on your device only, so you can review past results. This data is never transmitted to us. You can clear it at any time from Settings → Clear History, and it is removed automatically if you uninstall the app.
If your device has Android's automatic backup enabled, this locally stored data may be included in your own Google account backup, subject to Google's backup policies - it is still never sent to us.
Because NetPlus+ doesn't operate a backend server or account system, there is no central database of user data for us to secure or that could be breached on our end. Network requests made by the app's tools (SSH, HTTPS-based lookups, etc.) use standard encrypted protocols where the underlying protocol supports it.
NetPlus+ is a general-audience network utility app and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, contact us using the details below and we will address it.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example as new tools are added to the app. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the app after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
