This policy explains what Force 5G/LTE & Network Monitor (“the app”, “we”, “us”) does with information: what stays on your phone, what leaves it, who receives it and why, and the choices you have. It replaces the version dated 21 September 2026 and the Blogger policy dated 17 December 2024. Use of the app is also governed by our Terms of Service.
1. The short version
- No account, no sign-in, and no servers of our own. We do not run a backend, and we do not receive your data — except an email you choose to send us.
- We do not collect personal information about you. The app has no analytics or crash-reporting SDK.
- Your settings, test history and data-usage history are kept in the app's private storage on your phone. If Android backup is turned on, Android may include them in your device backup (section 3).
- Switching network mode is done through your device's own settings screen. The app opens it; it does not change anything behind your back.
- The free version shows ads. Ads are served by AppLovin MAX and the partner networks compiled into the app — Meta Audience Network, InMobi, Liftoff (Vungle), Mintegral, Smaato and Unity Ads — which collect device identifiers and similar data (section 4.1). Premium removes ads.
- A speed test, the My IP screen and the home-screen widgets contact third-party services (Ookla's Speedtest network and ipify), which necessarily see your IP address (section 4.3).
2. What the app does
The app is a network toolkit. It reports the mobile and Wi-Fi network your phone is currently using, measures connection speed, shows your public and local IP address, runs ping, port-scan, subnet-scan and Wake-on-LAN tools, shows device information, and provides shortcuts to the Android screens where the preferred network mode — for example 5G (NR only), 4G LTE only, 3G or 2G — can be changed. It also offers an optional status-bar speed meter with data-usage history, home-screen widgets and a Quick Settings tile.
Changing the network mode is an Android setting, not ours. The app cannot alter it directly; it takes you to the system screen where you make the change yourself.
Premium is an optional one-time in-app purchase through Google Play that removes ads and unlocks the quick-connect tile and widget.
3. Information kept on your device
The app stores the following in its private storage. It is not sent to us, and no other app can read it:
- Your settings and preferences — theme, language, and speed-meter and connection-alert options.
- History of the speed tests you run (server name, ping, jitter, download and upload speed, time) and of ping, port-scan, subnet-scan and Wake-on-LAN results. LAN results can include the IP addresses, host names and MAC addresses of devices on your own network. You can delete entries, or the whole history, in the app.
- Data-usage totals by hour, day and month, calculated from Android's device-wide traffic counters while the speed meter or the monitor screen is running. Only byte counts are recorded — never which apps or websites you used.
- Your Premium status and simple counters used to space out ads and the rating prompt.
- The public IP address last shown on the home-screen widget (and the local address it was looked up on), so the widget can display it without looking it up every time.
Network details shown on screen — connection type, network generation, carrier name, local IP address, gateway and DNS — are read from Android when displayed and are not stored.
Android backup. If you have turned on Android's backup or device-to-device transfer, Android may include your settings, test history and data-usage history in that backup, which is stored in your Google account under Google's terms. The Premium status, ad counters and the widget's cached public IP are excluded. We cannot access these backups.
Uninstalling the app, or clearing its data in Android settings, deletes everything stored on the device.
4. Information that leaves your device
4.1 Advertising
The free version shows app-open, banner, native and interstitial ads through AppLovin MAX, which runs an auction among AppLovin and the partner ad networks whose SDKs are built into the app. Depending on which networks are active in our AppLovin account at a given time, any of the following may receive ad requests from your device:
| Provider | Role | Privacy policy |
|---|---|---|
| AppLovin (MAX) | Ad mediation and ad network | applovin.com/privacy |
| Meta Audience Network | Ad network | facebook.com/privacy/policy |
| InMobi | Ad network | inmobi.com/privacy-policy |
| Liftoff Monetize (Vungle) | Ad network | liftoff.io/privacy-policy |
| Mintegral | Ad network | mintegral.com/en/privacy |
| Smaato | Ad network | smaato.com/privacy |
| Unity Ads | Ad network | unity.com/legal/game-player-and-app-user-privacy-policy |
To select, deliver and measure ads, and to prevent ad fraud, these services may collect:
- Your device's advertising identifier
- Device information such as model, operating system version, language, screen size and network type
- Your IP address and the approximate location it implies
- Your interactions with the ads shown to you
Some of these SDKs can also use Android's Privacy Sandbox advertising APIs (Topics and Attribution Reporting) on devices that support them. We do not receive, store or have access to any of this data. It is handled by each provider under its own policy, linked above.
Notice and consent signal. The first time a screen with ads opens, the app shows AppLovin's notice linking to this policy and our Terms of Service. The app does not include a consent-management form, so it does not ask you to choose whether ads are personalised. Instead, for users AppLovin identifies as being in a region covered by the GDPR or similar law (such as the EEA and the UK), and for users whose region cannot be determined, the app tells AppLovin and its partners that you have not consented to personalised advertising. In those regions ads are requested on that basis.
Your choices. You can reset or delete your advertising identifier at any time under your device's Settings → Privacy → Ads (the exact path varies by device), which also lets you opt out of personalised ads; on supported devices the same area lets you manage Privacy Sandbox ad topics. Doing so does not remove ads, but makes them non-personalised. Buying Premium removes ads: once your purchase is confirmed on the device, the app no longer starts the advertising SDK.
4.2 Google Play
The app uses Google Play services and Google Play libraries to process the optional Premium purchase (Google Play Billing), to offer in-app updates and in-app reviews, and to provide the advertising identifier used by the ad networks above. Payments are handled entirely by Google; we never see your payment details. This is handled by Google under the Google Privacy Policy.
4.3 Speed tests, My IP and network checks
- Speed test. To choose a test server, the app asks Speedtest.net (operated by Ookla) for servers near you; Ookla uses your IP address to find them. The test then transfers data to and from a server in Ookla's Speedtest network, run by Ookla or an independent host such as an internet provider. Like any connection you make, those servers can see your IP address and the approximate location it implies. We do not run those servers and we do not receive the results — they are shown to you and stored on your phone. See the Speedtest Privacy Policy.
- My IP. The My IP screen requests Speedtest.net's configuration service, which returns your public IP address, internet provider, country and approximate coordinates derived from that IP address. They are shown on screen and not stored.
- Widgets. The network-status widget looks up your public IP address with the free ipify service (api.ipify.org) and caches the result on your device.
- Ping and LAN tools. Ping and port checks are sent to whatever address you enter. Subnet scans, ARP lookups and Wake-on-LAN packets stay on your local network.
5. Permissions
The app asks only for the permissions it needs. Those marked “asked when needed” appear as an Android prompt and are optional; declining only limits the feature named.
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Internet; network and Wi-Fi state | Run the speed test, ping and IP lookups you ask for, show your connection details, and load ads. |
| Local network access (Android 17 and later; asked when needed) | Run the subnet scan, port scan, ARP lookup and Wake-on-LAN tools on your own network. |
| Phone state (asked when needed) | Detect whether you are on 5G, LTE or another network type. Without it the app falls back to a less accurate reading. The app does not read or send your phone number or SIM identifiers. |
| Notifications (Android 13 and later; asked when needed) | Show the status-bar speed meter's ongoing notification and, if you leave them on, connection-drop alerts. |
| Foreground service | Keep the speed meter running while you have it turned on. |
| Run at startup | Restart the speed meter after a reboot, only if you turned on that option. |
| Advertising ID | Used by the ad networks in section 4.1 (free version). |
| Google Play billing | The optional Premium purchase. |
The advertising and support libraries also add permissions of their own: access to Android's ad-services APIs (Topics and Attribution Reporting), vibration, wake lock, Google Play licence check, and an Amazon “privacy pass” attestation permission used by the Liftoff (Vungle) SDK for ad-fraud prevention. The app does not request location, contacts, camera, microphone, photos or storage permissions.
You can review and revoke any runtime permission at any time in Android's app settings. Revoking one only limits what the app can show you.
6. What we collect
Nothing, other than what you send us yourself. If you use the in-app Feedback screen or email us for support, your email app opens a message to us; we receive your email address and whatever you write, together with the details the app adds to the draft — the app name, version and build number, your device model and Android version. You can edit or remove any of it before sending. We keep it only as long as it takes to answer you.
We have no analytics SDK, no crash-reporting service of our own, and no way to identify you.
7. Retention and deletion
Everything the app keeps lives on your phone. You can delete test history in the app; clearing the app's data from Android settings, or uninstalling it, removes all of it immediately. A copy in your Android backup (section 3) is kept and deleted under your Google account settings. Data held by the ad networks, Google, Ookla or ipify is subject to their own retention policies, linked above.
8. Children
The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has sent us information, email us and we will delete it.
9. Your rights
Because we hold no personal data about you, there is nothing for us to export or erase on request — you already control it all from your own device. For data held by the advertising networks, use the advertising-identifier controls described in section 4.1, or contact those companies directly under their own policies.
If you have emailed us, you can ask us to delete that correspondence at any time.
10. Security
The app keeps its data in Android's private per-app storage, which other apps cannot read. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security — but since the app holds nothing about you beyond your own settings, readings and test history, there is very little to expose.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the app changes, for example when an advertising partner is added or removed. The date at the top always reflects the current version, and material changes will be noted in the app's release notes. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the updated policy.
