MyPing Privacy Policy
MyPing ("the app", "we", "us") is a network diagnostics app developed by Hoa Nguyen. This policy explains what information the app handles and how.
- No account is required.
- The app may display ads served by Google AdMob.
- No analytics, crash reporting, or other tracking SDKs.
- We do not sell your data.
- Feedback you submit is sent to GitHub and stored as a GitHub issue.
- IP lookup requests are sent to third-party services.
Information you provide
Feedback and bug reports
When you submit the feedback form, the app sends:
- the feedback type (Feedback, Feature Request, or Bug Report)
- your message
- your email address, if you choose to provide it
- the app version, operating system and version, locale, and submission time
This information is sent over HTTPS to GitHub, Inc. and stored as an issue in the MyPing project repository. If the repository is public, the issue — and any email address you include — is publicly visible. Do not include passwords, tokens, or other sensitive information in feedback.
We use this information to understand and respond to feedback, reproduce bugs, and improve the app.
Network diagnostics
Ping tests
When you start a ping, the app contacts the host, IP address, or URL you enter directly from your device. That target receives your IP address as part of the network request, as with any network connection. Ping results and latency statistics are calculated on your device and are not sent to us.
My IP
When you open My IP, the app requests your public IP information from:
- ipwho.is — https://ipwho.is
- ipify — https://www.ipify.org
These providers receive your IP address and network request metadata and return information such as your public IP, ISP, organization, country, region, city, and timezone. Their own privacy policies apply. The app does not send these results to us.
Local network interfaces
The app reads local network interface names and addresses on your device to display them. This information stays on your device.
Data stored on your device
Ping results, session history, and app preferences (theme and language) are kept in memory on your device for the current session. They are not transmitted to us. They may be cleared when you clear history or close the app.
The app does not request access to your contacts, camera, microphone, photos, or precise location.
Advertising
The app may display ads provided by Google AdMob. To serve and measure ads, AdMob may collect and process:
- your advertising ID (or a similar device identifier)
- device and app information (model, OS version, app version)
- your IP address and general location
- ad interaction and performance data
This data is collected by AdMob under Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
You can reset your advertising ID or opt out of personalized ads at any time in your device settings. Users in the EEA and UK are asked for consent before personalized ads are shown.
Third-party services
- Google AdMob — advertising. Google Privacy Policy
- GitHub, Inc. — stores feedback issues. GitHub Privacy Statement
- ipwho.is — IP geolocation lookup. https://ipwho.is
- ipify — public IP lookup. https://www.ipify.org
- Google Play — app distribution. Google Privacy Policy
We do not use advertising, analytics, crash-reporting, or tracking SDKs.
Sharing and sale
We do not sell, rent, or trade your information. Feedback is shared with GitHub as described above. IP lookup providers process your request as described above.
Security
All network requests made by the app use HTTPS. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Please do not include sensitive information in feedback.
Retention and deletion
Feedback issues are retained until they are resolved or deleted. You can request deletion of a feedback issue, including any email address you included, by contacting us at hoa.nguyenminh.it@gmail.com. We may need enough information to identify the issue. GitHub may retain copies according to its own policies.
Local data is cleared when you clear history, close the app, or uninstall it.
Children
MyPing is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
International transfers
Feedback is processed by GitHub in the United States. By submitting feedback, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States and other countries where GitHub operates.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The current version will be posted at this URL, with the effective date above. Material changes will be reflected in an app update or a notice.
