Portable WiFi — Mobile Hotspot · Last updated: 31 August 2026
Short version: Portable WiFi has no accounts, no advertising and no analytics. It does not collect, transmit or sell your personal data. Everything the app measures stays on your device.
Only your own settings, kept locally on your device and removed when you uninstall the app:
Session information — how long the hotspot has been on, how much data it has carried, and which devices are connected — is held in memory while the app runs and is not written to a server.
| Internet | Runs the speed test. The app has no backend of its own. |
|---|---|
| Wi-Fi state Network state | Reads whether the hotspot is on, finds the hotspot network interface and counts its traffic. |
| Change Wi-Fi / network state | Attempts to switch the hotspot on or off where the platform still allows it. |
| Modify system settings | Needed on older Android versions to control tethering directly. |
| Location (fine / coarse) | Android requires a location permission to read the name (SSID) of the Wi-Fi network you are connected to, which is shown on the home screen. Your geographic location is never requested, stored or transmitted. |
| Nearby Wi-Fi devices | Android 13+ replacement for the location requirement above. Declared with neverForLocation. |
| Foreground service | Keeps the session monitor alive so your timer and limits still work when the app is in the background. |
| Notifications | Shows the ongoing hotspot session notification. |
The app contains no advertising, analytics or tracking libraries. One external service is used:
speed.cloudflare.com) — contacted
only while you are running a speed test, in order to measure download, upload and latency. As with
any web request, Cloudflare sees your IP address and approximate region. The app sends no identifier
or personal information with these requests. See
Cloudflare's privacy policy.If you use “Report a bug” in the side menu, the app opens your email application with a message pre-filled with the app version, package name, Android version and device model. Nothing is sent until you press send, and you can edit or delete any of it first. No logs, identifiers, account information or location are attached.
To list devices on your hotspot, the app reads the system ARP table on your own phone. The MAC and IP addresses it finds are shown to you and kept in memory only; they are never uploaded. On Android 10 and newer this table is often restricted, in which case the list stays empty.
The app is not directed at children and collects no personal data from anyone.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published on this page with a new date above.
