Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Network Toolbox ("Network Toolbox", "we", "us", or "our") is a network diagnostic and utility application designed to help users analyze, troubleshoot, and understand network connectivity.

This Privacy Policy describes the types of information that may be processed by the application, why that information may be required, and how third-party services may process information.

2. Information the App May Access

Depending on the features you use and the permissions you grant, Network Toolbox may access certain information available on your device.

Network Information

Network diagnostic features may access information such as:

• Network connection type
• Local IP address
• IPv4 and IPv6 information
• Gateway information
• DNS information
• Wi-Fi connection information
• Wi-Fi signal information
• Network interface information
• Routing information
• Public IP address
• Network/ISP information where a diagnostic feature requests it

Location Permission

Android may require location permission and Location Services to be enabled for certain Wi-Fi and cellular network information.

Network Toolbox uses this access only to provide network-related functionality that requires the relevant Android permissions.

Network Toolbox does not use location permission to continuously track your physical location.

Device Information

The application may access limited device and Android information necessary for application functionality, diagnostics, security, and support, such as device model and Android version.

3. How Information Is Used

Information accessed by Network Toolbox may be used for purposes including:

• Performing network diagnostics and tests.
• Displaying network information requested by the user.
• Performing DNS, IP, connectivity, port, HTTP/HTTPS, Wi-Fi, and other diagnostic tests.
• Providing credit-based access to selected application features.
• Preventing abuse and unauthorized manipulation of the application's credit system.
• Improving application reliability and troubleshooting technical issues.

4. Network Diagnostic Requests

Some Network Toolbox features communicate with external network services to perform a requested diagnostic operation.

Depending on the feature, information such as a domain name, IP address, hostname, or network diagnostic request may be sent to the relevant service.

For example, DNS lookup, public IP, WHOIS, HTTP, HTTPS, speed-test, or IP-information features may communicate with third-party network services.

Such requests are initiated to provide the functionality requested by the user.

5. Credits and Rewards

Network Toolbox may use a credit-based system where users can obtain credits and use credits for selected application features.

Credit balances and credit transactions may be maintained by our backend services to help protect the integrity of the application's credit system.

Where rewarded advertising is available, users may voluntarily watch rewarded advertisements to receive credits.

Reward transactions may be verified through the advertising provider's server-to-server verification mechanisms.

6. Advertising

Network Toolbox may display advertisements through third-party advertising services, including Google AdMob.

Advertising providers may collect or process information according to their own privacy policies, which may include advertising identifiers, device information, IP address, approximate location, and information about interactions with advertisements, subject to applicable platform settings and permissions.

7. Third-Party Services

Network Toolbox may use third-party services to provide specific functionality.

These services may process information according to their own privacy policies and terms.

Examples may include:

• Google AdMob for advertising and rewarded advertisements.
• Network diagnostic and DNS services used by specific diagnostic features.
• Internet infrastructure and API services required to perform specific network tests.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of third-party services when using features that communicate with those services.

8. Data Storage

Network Toolbox may store certain application information locally on your device where required for application functionality.

Information maintained by our backend services, such as device authentication information and credit-related records, may be stored on our servers for the purpose of providing and protecting application functionality.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

9. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information processed by Network Toolbox.

Communications between the application and our backend services are intended to use secure HTTPS connections.

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

10. Children's Privacy

Network Toolbox is not specifically directed toward children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information through the application, please contact us so that appropriate action can be taken.

11. Your Choices

You may control certain Android permissions granted to Network Toolbox through your device settings.

You may also choose whether to use optional features such as rewarded advertisements.

Disabling certain permissions may cause some network diagnostic features to become unavailable or provide reduced information.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the application, services, legal requirements, or privacy practices.

When changes are made, the updated policy will be published on this page with a revised effective date.
