Privacy Policy

App: Angry Port Scanner: IP Scan (Android)
Developer: Osama Eshmilh
Last updated: August 22, 2026

In short. Your network scans run on your device and we never receive your scan results — with one exception you choose: the optional AI Insight feature. The app is free and supported by ads, so advertising and analytics services do collect device identifiers and usage data. You can remove ads and disable usage reporting at any time.

1. Who this policy covers

This policy explains how the Angry Port Scanner Android app handles information. It covers data handled by the app itself and by the third-party services built into it. If you use our iOS version, note that it ships without ads, analytics, or third-party SDKs and collects nothing.

2. Data that stays on your device

Network scanning is performed locally. The following never leaves your device, is never sent to us, and is deleted when you clear history or uninstall the app:

Scan results — IP addresses, hostnames, open ports, service banners, device types
Your Wi-Fi network details — SSID, gateway, subnet, local IP
Saved scan history and your app settings

Device names are discovered using standard local protocols (mDNS/Bonjour, reverse DNS, NetBIOS, SNMP, TLS certificates). These queries are sent only to devices on your own network.

3. Data collected by the app and its services

Because the app is ad-supported, the following data is transmitted off your device:

Data type	Collected by	Purpose
Device or other IDs Advertising ID, app instance ID, push token, crash installation ID	Google AdMob, Google UMP, Firebase Analytics, Firebase Cloud Messaging, Crashlytics	Advertising, analytics, app functionality
App activity Feature usage events (scans started/completed, tools opened and used)	Firebase Analytics	Analytics, product improvement
App info and performance Crash logs, diagnostics, stability data	Firebase Crashlytics	Fixing crashes and improving reliability
Approximate location Coarse region, typically derived from IP address	Google AdMob	Serving relevant ads
Purchase history Ad-free subscription status	Google Play Billing	Delivering your subscription

We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, files, or precise GPS location. We do not sell your personal information.

4. AI Insight (optional feature)

Subscribers can tap Analyze with AI on a device's detail screen. Only when you tap that button, information about that one device is sent to a third-party AI provider to generate a description and security assessment. This includes the device's IP address, hostname, detected vendor, open ports, and service banners.

Please note: device hostnames on home networks sometimes contain personal names (for example, Johns-MacBook-Pro). If you would rather not share that, simply do not use the AI Insight feature — every other part of the app works without it.

This feature is never triggered automatically. No scan data is sent unless you tap the button.

5. Permissions and why they are needed

Local network / nearby devices — required by Android to scan devices on your network. Without it, scanning cannot work.
Location — Android requires this permission to read your Wi-Fi network name (SSID). It is used only to display your network details in the app; your location is not collected by us.
Notifications — to show scan progress and completion.
Internet — for ads, analytics, crash reporting, and the tools that query the internet (Whois, DNS, Speed Test, cURL, AI Insight).

6. Third-party services

These services operate under their own privacy policies:

Google AdMob and Google User Messaging Platform — policies.google.com/privacy
Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, Cloud Messaging — firebase.google.com/support/privacy
Google Play Billing and Google Play In-App Review — policies.google.com/privacy
OpenAI (AI Insight only) — openai.com/policies/privacy-policy

7. Your choices

Remove ads — the ad-free subscription disables all advertising and the associated ad identifiers.
Turn off usage reporting — Settings › "Send crash & usage reports" stops analytics and crash data collection.
Ad privacy choices — Settings › "Ad privacy choices" reopens the consent form (available where required by law, such as in the EEA and UK).
Reset or delete your Advertising ID — Android Settings › Privacy › Ads.
Delete your data — clear scan history in the app, or uninstall to remove all local data.

8. Data retention

Scan history stays on your device until you delete it or uninstall the app. Analytics and crash data are retained by Google according to their published retention periods. AI Insight requests are handled by the AI provider under their policy; we do not store them.

9. Children

This app is a networking utility intended for general audiences and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us and we will address it.

10. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict use of your personal data, or to object to processing (for example under the GDPR or CCPA/CPRA). Because we do not operate user accounts and do not hold your scan data, most requests are best handled through the in-app controls in section 7 or through Google's privacy tools. For anything else, contact us and we will respond within the time required by applicable law.

11. Security

Data sent to advertising, analytics, and AI services is transmitted over encrypted connections. No method of transmission is completely secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect the limited data involved.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the app changes. The "Last updated" date above will reflect any revision, and significant changes will be highlighted on this page.
