Privacy Policy – Internet Speed Meter
Last updated: 13 Sep 2025
Developer: Gundu Kiran Kumar
Overview
Internet Speed Meter (“the App”) measures your device’s network speeds and, if you enable it, shows a floating overlay and a notification with live speeds. We do not run user accounts and we do not store personal data on our servers. Most data stays on your device.
Data We Process
• Network speed samples (download/upload), current connection type (Wi-Fi or mobile), and local IP address – used to display speeds.
• When connected to Wi-Fi: SSID and link speed – shown to you inside the app.
• Optional: Public IP address and approximate city – retrieved on demand from a public IP lookup service only when you enable “Show Public IP/City”. We do not retain this information.
• Usage totals (Wi-Fi/Mobile) – stored locally on your device to show daily/monthly usage. You can export or delete these at any time.
Permissions and Why We Use Them
• Location (approximate/precise): required by Android to read the current Wi-Fi SSID and for optional city display. We do not store your location.
• Nearby Wi-Fi devices (Android 13+): lets the app read Wi-Fi info without scanning for location.
• Phone state: detects mobile network type (e.g., 3G/4G/5G). No call audio or content is accessed.
• Display over other apps (draw over apps): shows the optional floating speed overlay.
• Notifications & Foreground service: keeps the live speed notification running.
• Internet / Network / Wi-Fi state: measure speeds and check connectivity.
• Receive boot completed: allows you to start the service on boot if you enable that option.
Advertising
The App uses Google AdMob to display ads. AdMob may collect device information (such as the Google Advertising ID), coarse location inferred from IP, and ad interaction data to serve and measure ads. Ad personalization can be limited or turned off in your Android device settings (Ads/Advertising ID).
Data Sharing
• We do not sell your personal data.
• Ad data is processed by Google AdMob under Google’s own privacy terms.
• When you request public IP/city, your request is sent to a public IP lookup service so it can respond; we do not keep this data.
• If you export a CSV, the file is created on your device and only shared where you choose.
Children’s Privacy
The App is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information via this App, please contact us so we can assist.
Security & Retention
Most information remains on your device. Any data processed by third-party providers (e.g., AdMob) is handled and retained according to their policies. You can clear in-app usage history via Settings (“Reset All”).
Your Choices & Controls
• You can deny optional permissions (some features—SSID, city, overlay—may not work).
• Toggle Public IP/City display off at any time.
• Reset or limit ad personalization in Android settings (Advertising ID).
• Stop the foreground service/notification from inside the App.
• Delete locally stored usage data via Settings (“Reset All”).
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available at this URL with the “Last updated” date.
