NetGaurd

Privacy Policy

Last updated: 17 August 2026

NetGaurd is a WiFi and mobile data tracker that helps you monitor how much data your device uses. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what information is — and is not — collected while you use the app, and how advertising works inside it.

1. Overview

NetGaurd ("the App", "we", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. The App does not require an account, sign-in, email address, or phone number to use. By using the App, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the App.

2. Data Usage Statistics

To show you WiFi and mobile data usage, NetGaurd reads network usage statistics that your device's operating system already tracks (e.g. via Android's Usage Access / Network Statistics permission).

This includes information such as:

✓How much data each app on your device has sent and received, over WiFi and mobile data.
✓Your overall daily, weekly, and monthly data usage totals.
✓Which network type (WiFi or mobile) is currently active.

This information is read directly from your device's operating system, is processed entirely on your device, and is never uploaded to us or to any server we operate. We do not have a backend, a user database, or any way to see your usage statistics.

3. We Do Not Collect Personal Data

NetGaurd does not collect your name, email address, contact list, precise location, photos, messages, browsing history, or the content of your network traffic. The App only reads aggregate data-usage numbers already recorded by your device — it does not inspect, log, or transmit what you actually do online. The only exception is the limited, non-personal device information used by our advertising partner, described in Section 5 below.

4. Local App Data

All of the following stays on your device and is never uploaded to us:

Your data usage history and per-app breakdowns.
Any data limits, alerts, or thresholds you configure.
App settings and preferences (e.g. theme, notification options).

This data is not accessible to us and never leaves your device. You can erase it at any time by clearing the App's local storage/cache or by uninstalling the App.

5. Advertising

NetGaurd is free and supported by ads. Ads help cover the cost of development so the App can stay free to use.

Ads are served by Google AdMob, a service provided by Google LLC. To serve and measure ads, Google may collect and process limited information from your device, which can include:

•An advertising identifier (the Android Advertising ID), which you can reset or delete at any time
•IP address, and an approximate, non-precise location derived from it
•Device type, operating system version, language, and app version
•Ad interaction data, such as which ad was shown, whether it was tapped, and how much of a video ad was watched

Where ads appear

The App shows three kinds of ads:

•Native ads placed inside lists and between cards on the apps, graphs, speed test, and app detail screens.
•An occasional full-screen ad when you open the App.
•Rewarded ads, which are always optional. You are told what you will get before one plays, and you can decline. Nothing in the App is locked behind watching an ad.

Your choices

Ad data is collected and processed by Google under its own privacy policy. We do not receive, store, or have any access to it — we only see anonymous, aggregated earnings totals. You can control personalised advertising in these ways:

•On your device, open Settings › Privacy › Ads to reset or delete your advertising ID and opt out of ad personalisation.
•If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you will be asked for your consent choices before personalised ads are shown, and you can change them at any time.

You can read how Google uses this information at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and Google's own privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

6. Permissions

NetGaurd requests Usage Access (or equivalent network statistics) permission to read data-usage totals, and internet access to load advertisements. It does not request access to your contacts, photos, messages, precise location, or the content of your network traffic.

7. Children's Privacy

NetGaurd is a general-audience utility app. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children, because we don't collect personal information at all. Because the App shows advertising, parents and guardians should supervise use by younger users.

8. Data Retention & Your Control

Because we do not store your data on any server, there is nothing for us to retain or delete on our side. Everything the App creates lives on your device and is fully under your control. You can remove it at any time by clearing the App's data or uninstalling it.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of NetGaurd after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
