Privacy Policy
The short version
- There is no account or sign-in, and we run no servers. We, the developer, receive no data about you.
- Your phone's hardware readings and battery history are processed and stored only on your phone.
- If you use the free version, Google AdMob shows ads and collects some device data to do so. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, you choose whether those ads are personalised.
- If you buy Pro, Google Play processes the payment. We never see your card or bank details.

1. Who we are
DeviceInfo X ("the app") is developed and published on Google Play by the trader named below ("we", "us"). Where data protection law applies to data we control, we are the controller. For the third-party services in section 5, Google is responsible for its own processing under its own privacy policy.

2. Data that stays on your phone
The app's purpose is to read your phone's hardware and system state and show it to you. It does this using Android's APIs and the system files Android makes readable to apps. These readings are shown on screen and are not sent to us or to anyone else.
| Data | What it's used for | Stored? |
|---|---|---|
| Device and build details (model, manufacturer, Android version, security patch, kernel) | Device and System tabs | No, read each time |
| Processor, GPU, memory, storage, display and camera specifications | Device tab | No |
| Live CPU clocks, memory use, battery temperature, power draw and thermal status | Monitor tab, only while it is on screen | No, kept in memory for the on-screen graphs |
| Sensor list and live sensor values (motion, proximity and others) | Sensors tab | No |
| Battery status, health, voltage, current and charge counter | Battery tab | See next row |
| Battery capacity history (one estimated capacity sample per day, taken only while the app is open) | Battery capacity graph | Yes, on your phone only |
| Connection type, and the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and access point address (BSSID) if you allow it | System tab | No |
| Settings: theme, whether Pro is active, when a free 24-hour Pro pass ends, whether the copy tip was shown | Remembering your preferences | Yes, on your phone only |
The app does not read your contacts, messages, photos, files, call log, microphone, camera image, precise or approximate location, IMEI, phone number or serial number.
Android's cloud backup is turned off for the app, so its stored data is not copied to your Google account backup.
3. Permissions
- Internet and network state. Used to load ads, connect to Google Play for the Pro purchase, download the app's fonts, and show your connection type.
- Wi-Fi state. Used to show Wi-Fi details on the System tab.
- Location (precise and approximate). Android only reveals the name of the Wi-Fi network you're connected to when an app has location permission. DeviceInfo X asks for it only when you tap "Show Wi-Fi name", and uses it only to display that name and the access point address. The app never requests your location, and you can refuse or revoke this permission at any time without losing any other feature.
- Advertising ID. The Google Mobile Ads SDK adds this permission so AdMob can use your phone's advertising ID (see AdMob).
4. The device report
You can share a plain-text report of your device's hardware through Android's share sheet. This only happens when you tap Share, and you choose the app and the recipient. The report deliberately leaves out network identifiers such as the Wi-Fi name, access point address and IP addresses. Once shared, the report is handled by the app and the people you sent it to, not by us.
Long-pressing a reading copies it to your clipboard. Nothing else is done with it.
5. Third-party services
The app uses the following Google services. They receive data directly from your phone and process it under Google's own terms. We don't receive personal data from them, only aggregated reports (for example, how many ads were shown, or how many Pro purchases were made).
Google AdMob (free version only)
Free users see a native ad card marked "Sponsored" at the end of the Device and Sensors tabs. You can also choose to watch a rewarded video ad for 24 hours of Pro features. Ads are never shown to Pro users.
To serve and measure ads and prevent fraud, Google may collect your advertising ID, IP address, general location derived from your IP address, device model and Android version, app information, and your interactions with ads.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the app shows Google's consent form (Google's User Messaging Platform) before requesting any ads. Ads are personalised only if you consent. Otherwise Google shows non-personalised or limited ads, and may still use some data for frequency capping, aggregated reporting and fraud prevention.
More information: How Google uses data from apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.
Google Play Billing (if you buy Pro)
DeviceInfo X Pro is bought through Google Play. Google processes your payment details, account and order. The app receives only the purchase status and a purchase token from Google Play, which it uses to unlock Pro and restore it when you reinstall or change phones. See the Google Payments Privacy Notice.
Google Fonts
The first time the app opens, it downloads its typefaces from Google's font servers and keeps them on your phone. Like any web request, this reveals your IP address to Google. Google states that it doesn't use this to build user profiles. See the Google Fonts privacy FAQ.
Google Play and Android
Google Play may give us aggregated, anonymised crash and performance statistics (Android vitals) if you have allowed your phone to share usage and diagnostics data with Google. The app itself contains no analytics or crash-reporting SDK.
These services may process data outside your country, including in the United States. Google relies on recognised safeguards for international transfers, such as the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses.
6. Legal bases (EEA and UK)
- Consent for personalised ads and the advertising cookies or identifiers used for them. You can withdraw consent at any time (see Your choices).
- Performance of a contract to process and restore a Pro purchase.
- Legitimate interests in funding the free app with non-personalised ads, preventing ad fraud, and loading the app's fonts.
7. How long data is kept
Data stored by the app stays on your phone until you clear the app's storage (Settings → Apps → DeviceInfo X → Storage → Clear data) or uninstall the app. Purchase records are kept by Google Play under its own retention policy. Data collected by AdMob is kept under Google's retention policies.
8. Your choices
- Change your ad consent: if you're in a region where consent is required, open the Pro screen (the star icon at the top of the app) and tap "Privacy & ad choices".
- Reset or delete your advertising ID: Android Settings → Privacy → Ads (the exact path varies by phone).
- Remove ads entirely: buy DeviceInfo X Pro.
- Revoke the location permission: Android Settings → Apps → DeviceInfo X → Permissions.
- Delete all app data: clear the app's storage or uninstall it.
9. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, to data portability, and to withdraw consent. Because we hold no personal data about you on any server, most requests can be fulfilled on your phone as described above. For data held by Google, use Google's privacy tools. You can contact us with any request, and you have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
We do not sell personal data. If you are a California resident, note that AdMob's use of data for personalised ads may count as "sharing" under California law. You can opt out by turning off ad personalisation or deleting your advertising ID in Android settings.
10. Children
DeviceInfo X is a technical tool and is not directed at children under 13, or the equivalent minimum age in your country. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data through the app, contact us.
11. Security
Data stored by the app is kept in the app's private storage, which other apps cannot read on a standard Android phone. All network connections made by the app and its Google SDKs use encryption (HTTPS).
12. Changes to this policy
If the app starts handling data differently, we'll update this page and the effective date above before the change takes effect. Significant changes will also be mentioned in the app's release notes on Google Play.
