FiSwitch Privacy Policy

This privacy policy governs your use of the software application FiSwitch for mobile devices. This software was created by Devon Witherell. FiSwitch is a handy app for tracking and monitoring connection information as well as utilizing Project Fi-relevant dialer codes.

What information does FiSwitch obtain and how is it used?

There is no information, user or otherwise, that is used outside of FiSwitch, - in other words, all information FiSwitch obtains stays on the device. The only information that is shared is done so directly by users - typically when users reach out for help and share history or stats information. All information gathered by FiSwitch is kept local to the device the application is installed on - this includes a history of connection information (which can be deleted by the user) as well as statistics based on connection type and carrier.

Why does this app ask for location privileges all the time?

Many aspects of connection information require location permissions to access, from signal strength to LTE band to WiFi information. This location information is necessary for a number of features of FiSwitch, in particular the widgets and notification supplied by the app. Starting with Android 10, users now have the option of setting location permissions as granted only while the app is open, or all the time. As the notification/widgets are running while the main FiSwitch app is technically closed or in the background, connection information displayed on the widgets/notification depend on being able to access such information while the app is in the background. The same applies for entries to the History section of the app that are made when the app is not open - without the location permission enabled all the time, much of the connection information will not be available for addition to the entry. This is why the app requests location in the background or all the time - but it is something that must be enabled on the user end and is therefore something that can be disabled for those not requiring such information given their usage of the application.
