Overview
NetTools is a network diagnostic application that helps users test and analyze their network connections. This privacy policy explains how we handle your data.
Data Collection
NetTools collects minimal data necessary for its core functionality:
Network Information
- Device IP Address: Your local network IP address
- MAC Address: Device identifier (when available)
- Public IP Address: Your internet-facing IP address
- ISP Information: Your internet service provider name
- Network Type: WiFi, mobile data, or ethernet connection
Why We Collect This Data
- To display your network configuration
- To perform network diagnostics (ping, DNS resolution, port scanning)
- To provide accurate network analysis results
Advertising
NetTools shows ads via Google AdMob to support the app.
- AdMob may collect or process device identifiers (including the Advertising ID), IP address, and interaction data to serve and measure ads.
- In regions where required (for example EEA/UK), we show a consent form (Google User Messaging Platform) so you can choose how ads are personalized.
- You can change privacy choices later from the About dialog when privacy options are required on your device.
- Learn more: Google's Privacy & Terms and How Google uses data from apps.
Analytics
NetTools uses Google Firebase Analytics to understand how the app is used (for example which screens and tools are opened).
- Analytics may collect app instance identifiers, device/OS information, and in-app event data (such as screen views).
- This data is used to improve stability and features; it is not sold by us.
