Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 17, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes the policies and procedures on the collection, use, and disclosure of Your information when You use the PingIT: Host Monitor Pro application (the "Service") operated by LYMNET SYSTEMS ("we," "us," or "our").

We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy outlines how we handle your data, specifically regarding network diagnostics, location permissions, and our licensing programs.

1. Information Collection and Use

A. Location Data (Wi-Fi & Bluetooth Scanning)

Our application requires Location Permissions (ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION and ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION).

• Why: The Android operating system mandates this permission to access Wi-Fi SSID, BSSID, and to discover nearby Bluetooth LE devices. This is technically necessary for the "WiFi Analyzer" and "Bluetooth Hunter" features.
• Privacy: We DO NOT use this data to track your physical location, nor do we share it with any third parties. It is processed locally on your device solely for signal analysis.

B. Wi-Fi & Bluetooth Data

To provide features like "Spectrum Graph," "Channel Rating," and "Device Finder," the app scans for nearby wireless signals.

• Data Collected Locally: SSID, BSSID/MAC Address, Signal Strength (RSSI), and Device Name.
• Usage: Used to visualize network congestion and estimate distance. This data is never uploaded to any cloud server.

C. Network Data (Server Monitor & Diagnostics)

Features such as "Ping," "Trace Route," and "Server Monitor" require IP addresses or domain names.

• Storage: The servers you add are saved locally on your device using secure storage (Shared Preferences).
• Usage: Only used to perform the connectivity checks you requested locally.

D. Reward Program Data

This section applies ONLY if you voluntarily sign in to the in-app "Reward Program" screen.

To identify accounts that have been granted a promotional or compensation reward, we use Google Sign-In together with Google Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore.

• Data Collected: Your Google account's email address, and the date/time you last signed in. We do not collect your name, profile photo, or any other Google account data.
• Purpose:
  • To let our support team identify which account should receive a promised reward.
  • To let the app check whether your account currently has an active reward and its expiration date.
• Reward Assignment: Reward eligibility and expiration dates are set manually by our team — the app itself cannot create, extend, or modify a reward.
• Not Stored By Us: This data is collected solely for the Reward Program and is not stored on any server we operate. It resides exclusively in Google Cloud Firestore (a Firebase product) under our Firebase project — we do not maintain any separate copy or independent database of this information.
• Security: Firestore Security Rules ensure only the signed-in account owner can read their own record, and the app is only ever permitted to write its own sign-in timestamp — never the reward or expiration data itself.
• Note: If you purchase a standard Pro subscription via Google Play, none of this data is collected.

E. Proxy Gateway (Client & Server Modes)

The "Proxy Gateway" feature allows you to connect to external proxy servers (Client Mode) or act as a local proxy server yourself (Server Mode).

• No Cloud Storage (Our Servers): We want to be absolutely clear: WE DO NOT collect, store, upload, or monitor any of your proxy traffic, browsing history, or IP addresses on our servers. All operations, checks, and logs happen strictly locally on your device.
• Server Mode Logs: When hosting a local proxy, traffic details of connecting devices are stored temporarily in your device's RAM for your own monitoring purposes. These logs are entirely private to your device and are never transmitted to us.
• Third-Party Proxy Servers (Client Mode): Please be aware that when you connect to an external proxy server using our app, the owner of that third-party proxy server may monitor, log, or store your internet traffic. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the data practices or security of external proxy servers you choose to connect to. We strongly advise you to only connect to trusted proxy providers.

2. In-App Purchases and Subscriptions

The Service offers a "Pro" subscription managed via Google Play Billing.

• Payment Processing: All financial transactions are handled directly by Google Play. We do not access, collect, or store your credit card details or billing information.

3. Advertising (AdMob)

We use Google AdMob to display advertisements in the free version of the app.

• Google AdMob may use your device's Advertising ID to serve personalized ads based on your interests.
• You can opt-out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.

4. Background Service

Features such as "Server Monitor" and "Proxy Gateway" utilize an Android Foreground Service to maintain active network operations (e.g., checking server status or handling incoming proxy connections) while the app is minimized. This service runs entirely locally on your device and uses local notifications to keep you informed of its status.

5. Log Data

In case of an error in the app, we may collect anonymous data (through third-party products like Google Play Console) called Log Data. This may include device name, operating system version, and the time/date of the error.

6. Security

We value your trust in providing us your information. We use commercially reasonable means to protect it. Data stored for the Reward Program is protected by Firebase Security Rules to ensure only the account owner can access their own record, and that the app itself can never write or alter the reward or expiration data.

7. Children's Privacy

These Services do not address anyone under the age of 13.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes.

9. Contact Us

If you have any questions about our Privacy Policy, please contact us:

• Email: support@lookip.org

10. Data Deletion Request

We respect your right to be forgotten. If you wish to delete your account and any associated Reward Program data:

• In-App Account Deletion: Go to Settings > Delete Account. This immediately deletes your app sign-in credentials.
• Manual Request: Email us at info@lymnet.com with the subject "Data Deletion Request" and your registered email address. Since Reward Program data is collected only for that program and is not stored on any server we operate — it exists solely in Firestore — we will remove the corresponding record within 7 days of your request.
