NetTools Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 2026-02-07

Introduction

NetTools is a network toolbox application developed for Android devices. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our app.

Data Collection

Information We Collect

NetTools is designed to work primarily offline, and we collect minimal information:

1. IP Addresses: When you use the IP Lookup feature, the app may process IP addresses locally using an offline database. If no information is found offline, the app may send the IP address to a third-party service (ipinfo.io) to retrieve additional information.
2. MAC Addresses: When you use the MAC Address Lookup feature, the app processes MAC addresses locally using an offline database of OUI (Organizationally Unique Identifier) prefixes.
3. Clipboard Access: The app accesses your clipboard only when you use the copy functionality to copy results from the app to your clipboard.

Information We Do Not Collect

NetTools does not collect or store:

• Personal identification information
• Location data
• Device identifiers
• Usage statistics
• Advertising data
• User accounts or credentials

Data Usage

How We Use Your Information

The information processed by NetTools is used solely for the purpose of providing the requested functionality:

1. IP Lookup: To provide location, ISP, and organization information for the queried IP address.
2. MAC Address Lookup: To identify manufacturers from MAC address OUIs.
3. Clipboard Access: To copy results from the app to your clipboard for easy sharing.

Data Storage

NetTools does not store any user data persistently. All calculations and lookups are performed in memory and discarded when the app is closed.

Data Protection

Security Measures

NetTools implements the following security measures:

1. Offline Processing: Most functionality works entirely offline, reducing the risk of data exposure.
2. Encrypted Connections: When online lookups are performed, the app uses encrypted HTTPS connections to protect data in transit.
3. Minimal Data Transmission: Only the necessary data (e.g., IP address) is sent to third-party services, and only when required.

Third-Party Services

Services We Use

NetTools uses the following third-party service:

1. ipinfo.io: Used as a fallback for IP lookup when information is not found in the offline database. Their privacy policy can be found at https://ipinfo.io/privacy

How Third Parties Use Your Information

Third-party services are bound by their own privacy policies and terms of service. We encourage you to review their privacy policies to understand how they handle your information.

User Rights

Control Over Your Data

As NetTools does not store any user data, there is no personal data to access, modify, or delete. All data processed by the app is temporary and discarded when the app is closed.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in this document, and the effective date will be updated accordingly. We encourage you to review this privacy policy periodically.

Children's Privacy

NetTools is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

By using NetTools, you consent to the collection and use of information as described in this privacy policy.
