privacy policy

Last updated: April 2026

Introduction

Hatching Point (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use the WiFiSpeedLog mobile application.

WiFiSpeedLog is a network diagnostics tool. The data it collects is measurements of your own network environment — speeds, latencies, and public network characteristics — stored locally on your device so you can produce evidence reports for your ISP, IT department, or building manager.

Information We Collect

  • Network Measurements: Download speed, upload speed, ping, jitter, packet loss, bufferbloat grades, DNS timing, and connection metrics you generate when running tests.
  • Network Context: Your Wi-Fi SSID (when granted), cellular radio technology (e.g., 5G / LTE), public IP address, ISP name, ASN, and approximate city-level location derived from your public IP.
  • Calendar Events (optional): With your explicit permission, event titles and times from the last 7 days are read locally to correlate connection issues with meetings. Calendar data never leaves your device.
  • Local Network Devices (optional): Names and service types of devices advertising via Bonjour / mDNS on your network. This runs only when you tap Discover and is discarded when you stop.
  • Purchase Information: Subscription status only (processed by Apple; we don't see your payment details).

How We Use Your Information

  • Generate real-time network quality metrics and call-readiness scores
  • Build your 7-day evidence log and weekly ISP-ready report
  • Correlate network events with calendar meetings (if permission granted)
  • Power optional AI-generated analysis (see Third-Party Services)
  • Process your subscription via Apple
  • Respond to support requests

Data Storage

All diagnostic data is stored locally on your device using Apple's Core Data framework. We do not operate a backend server that stores your measurements, IP addresses, or test history. If you uninstall the app, your data is deleted.

Third-Party Services

  • Apple: App Store handles purchases and subscriptions. Core Data and CloudKit frameworks store data locally and optionally sync via your personal iCloud.
  • Cloudflare: Speed tests target speed.cloudflare.com endpoints. Cloudflare receives the test request and your public IP (same as any website visit) but no user data is sent. See Cloudflare's privacy policy at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
  • ipinfo.io: Used to look up your public IP address, ISP, ASN, and approximate city. Only your public IP is sent (the same IP that any website sees). See ipinfo.io/privacy-policy.
  • DNS resolvers (1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, 9.9.9.9, 208.67.222.222):Used for DNS benchmarking. Random uncacheable hostnames under example.com are queried to measure resolver latency. No user data is sent.
  • OpenAI (optional): When you opt in to AI-powered insights, anonymized speed-test results and network context are sent to OpenAI to generate plain-English analysis. See the next section for details.

Third-Party AI Service (OpenAI)

WiFiSpeedLog uses OpenAI as its AI service provider. AI features are opt-in and disabled by default until you consent via the in-app disclosure.

  • When AI is enabled, anonymized speed-test measurements (Mbps, ms, loss %, grades) and network context (ISP name, country, connection type) are sent to OpenAI's API to generate diagnostic explanations.
  • No personally identifiable information (name, email, Apple ID, payment details, precise location, photos, calendar content) is sent to OpenAI.
  • You can revoke AI consent at any time in Settings › AI Data Usage. Revoking prevents any further data from being sent to OpenAI.
  • OpenAI's data handling is governed by their API terms. See openai.com/policies/api-data-usage-policies.

Your Choices

  • Location permission is optional — if denied, Wi-Fi SSID and band detection are disabled but speed tests still work.
  • Calendar permission is optional — if denied, meeting correlation is disabled but all other features work.
  • Local network permission is optional — if denied, Bonjour discovery is disabled.
  • AI consent is optional — if not granted, all diagnostics work without AI analysis.
  • You can export your data as CSV or JSON at any time in Settings.
  • Uninstalling the app deletes all locally stored data.

Children's Privacy

WiFiSpeedLog is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We'll revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page when we do.
