This web page contains the "Privacy Policy" for the Android app "Simple DHCP Query".
An Android device is usually configured via DHCP for internet access via WLAN. In this case a DHCP server sends several configuration parameters to your device; these parameters are called the "DHCP record" in the following.
The purpose of the app "Simple DHCP Query" is it to read out the current DHCP record of your device. This is done only when you explicity tell the app to do so by clicking on the button "Get DHCP record" on the main screen. You then can view the individual fields of this DHCP record:
Such a DHCP record can be saved in the internal database of the app when you click on the button "Save".
The app can share individual or all DHCP records via e-mail or the clipboard when you press the button "Share ..." or "Share all ...". Depending on the software installed on your Android device it might be possible that when selecting to share via e-mail other options than just e-mail will be offered, e.g., to share via an instant messaging client or a app for taking notes.
The app cannot upload individual or all DHCP records to a server on the Internet.
Android apps need to define so called "Permissions" when potentially critical operations have to be performed during the runtime. These permissions have to be defined in the so called "Manifest File", which is contained in the installation file of the app. "Potentially critical" means that the operation might cause costs (e.g. fees for data transferred over the internet) or accessing confidential information (e.g. reading entries in the address book or the calendar). If an app tries to perform such an potentially critical without having defined the corresponding permission, then the app will be immediately terminated by the Android system. The permissions defined by an app can be viewed by the end user before installing the app.
Simple DHCP Query needs just the following two permissions:
The technical names of the permissions in the brackets are the identifiers of the permissions which were defined in the app's manifest file.
"Simple DHCP Query" even does not require to access the internet, i.e. it does not define the permission "android.permission.INTERNET" in its manifest file. This implies that it cannot upload DHCP records in the background.
