-Web Analytics: Anonymous usage data collected automatically through analytics tools
-Cookies: Small text files stored on your device when visiting the website

Third-Party Services
-Apple App Store: Subscription purchases and renewals are processed through Apple's App Store. Apple may use device identifiers for subscription management.
-RevenueCat: Subscription management and validation. RevenueCat uses device identifiers to manage subscriptions and validate purchases. For more information, see RevenueCat's privacy policy: https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy.
-Vendor Lookup APIs: We use third-party APIs (macvendors.com, macvendorlookup.com, maclookup.app) to identify router/AP manufacturers from MAC addresses. These APIs may receive the first 3 octets of your router/APs MAC address (OUI - Organizationally Unique Identifier) to identify the manufacturer. This is not personally identifiable information.
-IP Geolocation APIs: We use third-party APIs (ip-api.com, ipify.org, ipapi.co) to determine your approximate location for speed check server selection. These APIs receive your public IP address to provide approximate geographic location (city/region level, not exact coordinates).
-Speed Check Servers: We use librespeed.org public servers to perform internet speed checks. These servers receive your public IP address and speed check traffic (download/upload data, ping, jitter, and packet loss) to measure your internet connection speed. The servers are operated by third parties and may log this data according to their own privacy policies.
