NetX Privacy Policy

Welcome to NetX

Thank you for choosing NetX! Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our app.

Our Privacy Promise

NetX is designed with privacy as a core principle. We believe you should have complete control over your data. Our app operates entirely on your device, and we do not collect or store any personal information.

NetX is a network utility tool that helps you monitor and optimize your mobile network connection. We provide real-time network information, speed tests, and network optimization features — all while respecting your privacy.

Information We Collect

We do not collect or store any personal data from users. NetX operates as a local network utility tool that functions entirely on your device.

What We Don't Collect:

Personal identification information (name, email, phone number)
Location data (unless explicitly permitted by you for specific features)
Contact lists or messages
Photos or media files
Browsing history or search queries
Device identifiers for tracking

Zero Data Collection Policy

NetX follows a strict "Zero Data Collection" policy. All network analysis, speed tests, and optimization features work locally on your device. No data is sent to external servers unless you explicitly use features that require internet connectivity (like speed tests to external servers).

Network Information:

NetX displays real-time network information that is already available to your device through Android's system APIs. This includes:

Current network type (2G/3G/4G/5G)
Signal strength indicators
Network operator information
Connection status

This information is processed locally and never leaves your device.

Permissions & Usage

NetX requires certain permissions to function properly. These permissions are used only for their intended purposes and are never abused.

Required Permissions:

Permission	Type	Purpose
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE	Required	To detect current network type and connection status
ACCESS_WIFI_STATE	Required	To monitor Wi-Fi connectivity and signal strength
CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE	Required	To enable network mode switching (4G/5G only mode)
ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION	Optional	Only if you enable location-based network features
POST_NOTIFICATIONS	Optional	For network alerts and speed test notifications

Permission Control

You have complete control over permissions. You can grant or revoke permissions at any time through your device settings. NetX will continue to function with limited features if you deny certain permissions.

How We Use Permissions:

We only use the permissions granted by you to:

Display real-time network information
Perform accurate speed tests
Enable network optimization features
Provide network alerts and notifications
Improve user experience based on network conditions

No permission is used for data collection or tracking.

Third-Party Services

NetX may integrate with third-party services for specific functionalities:

Google AdMob

Our free version of NetX displays Google AdMob ads to support development costs. AdMob may collect data for personalized advertising purposes.

AdMob's data collection is governed by Google's Privacy Policy
You can opt out of personalized ads in your Google Account settings
No personal data from NetX is shared with AdMob

Advertising Information

NetX Pro (Paid Version): If you purchase NetX Pro through in-app purchase, all ads are removed, and no advertising data is collected.

Speed Test Servers

When you perform a speed test, NetX connects to third-party speed test servers. These servers may collect:

Your IP address (for routing and measurement)
Test results (speed, ping, jitter)
Timestamp of the test

This data is necessary for accurate speed measurement and is not linked to your personal identity.

Data Security

We implement multiple layers of security to protect your privacy:

Local Data Storage

All app data is stored locally on your device
No data is transmitted to external servers
Local storage uses Android's secure storage mechanisms
App preferences and settings are device-specific

No Data Collection

NetX does not implement any data collection mechanisms. There are no:

Analytics trackers
Usage monitoring
Crash reporting (unless explicitly enabled by you)
Behavior tracking

Privacy by Design

NetX is built with "Privacy by Design" principles. Every feature is evaluated for privacy impact before implementation. We default to the most private option and give you control over any data sharing.

App Permissions

We request only the minimum permissions necessary for core functionality. Each permission has a clear purpose and is not abused for data collection.

Regular Security Reviews

We regularly review our code and dependencies for security vulnerabilities and privacy issues. Updates are released promptly to address any concerns.

App Features & Privacy

Here's how NetX's features work with respect to your privacy:

Network Monitoring

Real-time Signal Display: Uses system APIs to show current signal strength
