Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 25, 2025

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 Batan Ay ("we," "us," or "our").

We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy outlines how we handle your data, specifically regarding network diagnostics, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth scanning, location permissions, and payments.

1. Information Collection and Use

We do not collect, store, or upload any personally identifiable information (PII) or network scan data to our servers. All data processed by the application is stored locally on your device or transiently used to perform network operations.

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 to function.
• 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 and device discovery.

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 (Network Name), BSSID/MAC Address, Signal Strength (RSSI), Frequency, and Device Name.
• Usage: This data is used to visualize network congestion, estimate distance to devices, and identify device manufacturers (Vendors). This data is never uploaded to any cloud server.
• Vendor Identification: The app uses a local database to match the first 6 digits of a MAC address (OUI) to a manufacturer name (e.g., "Samsung").

C. Network Data (Server Monitor & Diagnostics)

Features such as "Ping," "Trace Route," "DNS Lookup," and "Server Monitor" require you to input IP addresses or domain names.

• Storage: The servers you add to the "Server Monitor" list are saved locally on your device using secure storage (Shared Preferences).
• Usage: This data is used only to perform the connectivity checks you requested.

2. In-App Purchases and Subscriptions

The Service offers a "Pro" subscription (PingIT Pro) 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

The "Server Monitor" feature utilizes an Android Foreground Service to check server status while the app is minimized. This service runs locally and may send local notifications (e.g., "Server Down") based on your settings.

5. Log Data

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

6. Security

We value your trust in providing us your information. Since all critical data (server lists, scan results) is stored locally on your device, its security also depends on your device's security (e.g., screen lock, malware protection).

7. Children's Privacy

These Services do not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 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.
