Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how the Internet Speed app (“we”, “our”, “us”) collects, uses, and shares information when you use our application available on the Google Play Store. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

1. Information we collect

App‑provided data (local only)

• Internet usage data: Real‑time speed and data usage statistics (per day/month) are collected to provide live monitoring and tracking. This data is stored locally on your device and never shared with any third party.
• Device state: We access your phone state (via READ_PHONE_STATE) to accurately read mobile data usage and network information.
• Network status: We use network state information (via ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE) to detect your current connection type (Wi‑Fi or mobile data).

Data collected via AdMob (third‑party advertising)

We use Google AdMob to serve ads. AdMob may collect the following information to deliver and personalize advertisements:

• IP address – used for geolocation (country/region) and ad targeting.
• Android Advertising ID (AAID) – an anonymized identifier for ad personalization and frequency capping.
• Device & network data – model, OS version, carrier, language, screen size, and network type.
• Ad interaction – impressions, clicks, and engagement metrics for campaign performance.

All AdMob data is handled under Google’s Privacy Policy. We receive only aggregated reports and do not have access to personally identifiable information (PII).

2. How we use your information

• Core functionality: Speed monitoring, data usage tracking, and notification updates – all processed locally.
• Ad personalization: AdMob uses device data to show relevant ads. You can opt out of interest‑based ads via your device’s Google Ads settings.
• No data sharing: We do not sell, trade, or rent any information. Local usage data stays on your device.

3. Permissions explained

Below is a clear breakdown of each permission we request and its purpose:

All permissions are requested at runtime (Android 6+) and are essential for the app's monitoring features. You may deny camera‑like permissions, but the core speed test requires network and notification permissions.

4. Third‑party services

We integrate exclusively with Google AdMob for advertising. No other third‑party SDKs (analytics, crash reporting, or tracking) are used. AdMob may collect device information as described above. For more details, please review Google’s privacy policy:

• Google Privacy Policy
• AdMob Data Use

5. Data storage & security

No personal data is stored or transmitted to our servers. All usage statistics, speed history, and data logs are stored locally on your device in internal storage. We take reasonable measures (e.g., data encryption in transit via HTTPS for ad requests) to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure; use at your own risk.

You can clear all locally stored data at any time via device settings (Settings → Apps → Internet Speed → Storage → Clear Data) or by uninstalling the app.

6. Your choices & control

• Ad personalization opt‑out: On your device, go to Settings → Google → Ads and enable “Opt out of Ads Personalization” or reset your advertising ID.
• Permission management: You can revoke any permission (e.g., notifications, phone state) via your device’s app settings. Note that some features may be limited.
• Data deletion: Since all data is local, you can delete it by clearing app data or uninstalling the app.

7. Children’s privacy

This app is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, we will take steps to delete it. AdMob also provides options for age‑restricted ad personalization.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by updating the “Effective Date” at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Significant changes will be communicated via the app or through the Google Play listing.

9. Contact us

If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback regarding this Privacy Policy or the app’s data practices, please contact us directly:

We aim to respond within 3‑5 business days.
