Privacy Policy

Privacy First • Zero Data Collection

1. Overview & Commitment

WiFix is built by Shamil PP with a strict privacy-by-design philosophy. WiFix is a utility designed exclusively to diagnose local network reachability, detect captive portal authentication redirects (such as hotel, airport, and coffee shop Wi-Fi log-in screens), and restore your internet access.

We do not collect, store, sell, or transmit your personal data, network credentials, browsing activity, or device identifiers. All operations execute completely locally on your Apple device.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

For absolute clarity regarding Apple App Store privacy standards:

• No User Identity or Account Data: WiFix does not require user accounts, passwords, email addresses, phone numbers, or subscriptions.
• No Location Tracking: WiFix does not request Location Services (CLLocationManager) or track GPS coordinates.
• No Hardware Identifiers: We do not access or collect MAC addresses, BSSIDs, IMEI numbers, or advertising identifiers (IDFA).
• No Web Traffic Interception: When captive sign-in web pages load in the in-app browser (WKWebView), communications travel directly between your device and the venue's router. We never proxy, inspect, or log your credentials, tokens, or cookies.
• No Third-Party Analytics or Advertising SDKs: WiFix contains no tracking pixels, advertising frameworks, or cross-app tracking mechanisms.

3. Local Device & Diagnostic APIs Used

To deliver automated network recovery, WiFix utilizes standard Apple system networking APIs locally:

• Network Path Monitoring (NWPathMonitor): Observes interface states (such as active Wi-Fi vs. disconnected) and determines the venue router's gateway IP address (NWPath.gateways) solely to detect connection changes and enable direct router sign-in fallback.
• Interface Address Evaluation (getifaddrs): Accesses the local subnet mask on the active Wi-Fi interface (en0) to compute an ephemeral, non-reversible SHA-256 session hash (ConnectionID). This ephemeral hash exists strictly in memory while the app runs and is used solely to prevent repeating sign-in prompts on the same network while automatically alerting you when joining a new venue. It is never written to disk or transmitted anywhere.
• Connectivity Probes: Sends lightweight HTTP status checks to Apple's standard probe endpoint (captive.apple.com) and Google's HTTP 204 endpoint (connectivitycheck.gstatic.com) to evaluate whether internet traffic is passing or being intercepted by a captive portal.

4. Third-Party Services & Firebase

WiFix integrates official Apple Crashlytics/Analytics frameworks configured for standard anonymous diagnostic crash reports in the event of an unhandled runtime exception. No user-identifiable data or network payload contents are included in crash logs.

5. Children’s Privacy

WiFix is rated 4+ and does not collect any data from any user, including children under the age of 13. It is fully compliant with COPPA, GDPR, and Apple App Store Review Guidelines.

6. Changes to this Policy

If we update this Privacy Policy, the revised version will be published on this URL with an updated effective date.
