Privacy Policy - Signal Hunter
Privacy Policy
App Name: Signal Hunter
Last updated: January 31, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how Signal Hunter ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and discloses your information when you use our mobile application (the "App").
We are committed to protecting your privacy. The core purpose of this App is to function as a technical utility tool for measuring network signal strength and locating optimal signal reception areas.
1. Permissions We Request and Why
To provide the App's technical features, we require specific permissions to access hardware sensors on your mobile device.
A. Location Data (ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION)
Purpose:
- Signal Measurement: The Android operating system requires Location permissions to access the
TelephonyManagerandWifiManagerAPIs. Without this, the App cannot technically read signal strength levels (dBm). - Signal Hunter Feature: We use your precise location coordinates (GPS) locally to calculate distances and bearings for the compass navigation tool, helping you find better signal spots.
- Wi-Fi SSID Detection: Modern Android versions require location permission to display the name (SSID) of the Wi-Fi network you are connected to.
B. Wi-Fi & Network State
Purpose:
- To detect if your device is currently connected to a Wi-Fi network or using Cellular Data.
- To read the specific Wi-Fi signal strength (RSSI) to display on the dashboard.
- To display connection status (e.g., "Connected", "Offline").
2. How We Use Your Information
The data collected via these permissions is used solely in real-time within the App to:
- Display the gauge meter and progress bars indicating signal quality.
- Render the live stability graph of your connection.
- Guide you via the compass interface to locations where you previously found a stronger signal.
3. Children’s Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
We take children's privacy seriously and comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
- Not Directed at Children: Our App is a utility tool intended for general audiences and technical users. It is not directed to children under the age of 13.
- No Data Collection: We do not knowingly collect, store, or process personally identifiable information from children under 13.
- If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us, and we will take steps to ensure no such data is retained.
4. Data Security
Since we do not collect personal data on external servers, the risk of data breach from our side is nonexistent. All operational data (such as the "Best Signal" record) is stored temporarily in your device's local memory and is erased when you clear the app data or uninstall the App.
5. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements or App functionality. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
