What's Wrong With The Network Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
What's Wrong With The Network is a foreground, instant network diagnosis tool. This policy explains what the current version stores, when it accesses the network, and what choices you have.
2. What we store
- Diagnosis history. Stored only on the current device to show recent trends and recent diagnosis results.
- Preferences. Theme, language, local anchor, internet probe addresses, sample count, and similar settings are stored only on the current device.
- Anonymous analytics setting. Stored only on the current device to control whether anonymous analytics events are sent.
3. When the app accesses the network
When the app opens to the home screen, it automatically runs one diagnosis of the current network. You can also run the diagnosis again manually. During a diagnosis, the app may access:
- A local anchor on the current LAN to judge whether the local network is reachable.
- The configured HTTPS internet probes to judge whether the internet is reachable and stable.
- Public IP and RDAP ownership services if the app needs to infer the current egress ISP.
The egress ISP result is used only for the current display and is not used for profiling or advertising.
4. Anonymous analytics
To improve the product experience, this app uses PostHog for anonymous analytics. The current events are limited to app launch, screen views, diagnosis start, diagnosis completion, copying a diagnosis summary, opening settings, and opening the recovery guide.
Event fields are limited to the screen name, trigger source, coarse diagnosis status, current network type, diagnosis duration, external probe count, the current egress or cellular ISP name, plus app identifier, app version, device model, system name, and system version; a random anonymous ID is also used to distinguish the current installation.
Analytics does not include Wi-Fi names, probe addresses, local IP addresses, gateway addresses, diagnosis summary text, accounts, advertising identifiers, or personal identity information. You can turn off "Share Anonymous Analytics" in Settings > Privacy. Once disabled, no analytics events will be sent.
5. What we do not do today
- No sign-in or account system.
- No upload of diagnosis history to developer servers.
- No ad SDK.
- No remote logging.
- No always-on background monitoring.
6. Permissions and platform capabilities
Local Network permission is used to access a local anchor on your LAN when you are on Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi name access follows Apple's platform boundaries; if iOS does not return a name, the app shows that the name could not be read.
7. Your choices
- You can edit or restore default local anchor, internet probe, and sample count settings.
- You may delete local diagnosis history or uninstall the app to remove local data.
- You can turn off "Share Anonymous Analytics" in Settings > Privacy.
8. Updates to this policy
If future features add cloud sync, remote logging, support forms, or a broader analytics scope that involves more data leaving the device, we will update this policy and the in-app explanation first. If you have questions, email 331371582@qq.com.
