WhereFi measures your network. It does not measure you. There is no account, no analytics, and no Technesium server for your data to go to.
Nothing. WhereFi has no analytics, no advertising SDKs, no tracking, no account system and no Technesium servers. We never see your test results, your network names, your router details or your identity.
On your device. Every test result, site survey and history entry is written to your device and stays there. Nothing is uploaded. If you tap Share, the report image goes only to the destination you pick.
WhereFi Pro is a one-time in-app purchase handled entirely by Apple. Apple takes the payment and keeps the record of it; we never receive your name, Apple Account, card or payment details. The app only asks Apple, on your device, whether this Apple Account owns WhereFi Pro, so it can unlock Pro features and restore them on your other devices. Apple's privacy policy applies to the purchase.
The Internet Speed test transfers randomly generated data between your device and Cloudflare's public speed-test service (speed.cloudflare.com) purely to measure throughput. The data is meaningless filler, generated for the test and discarded.
The app also makes a small connectivity check to Cloudflare (cp.cloudflare.com/generate_204) to tell "no internet" apart from "slow internet". It sends no information about you, and the reply it expects is empty.
The Wi-Fi Speed test never touches the internet. It sends measurement packets to your own router on your own local network and times them. It works with the internet completely down.
When you run the Wi-Fi check, WhereFi asks a few very small questions of well-known services, so it can tell "no internet" apart from "this Wi-Fi needs you to sign in" and "the internet works, but names aren't being looked up (DNS)":
The Network screen also pings 1.1.1.1 to show how quickly the internet responds.
None of these checks send any information about you, and nothing they return is stored.
To show which provider you are connected to, the app makes one HTTPS request to ipinfo.io, which returns your public IP address and the name of the network that owns it. Like any web request, that service necessarily sees the address the request came from; their privacy policy applies to it. We receive nothing, and neither the address nor the provider name is stored off your device.
WhereFi needs Local Network access to send measurement packets to your router and to ping it during a Wi-Fi check. That is the only thing it is used for.
The app also advertises and looks for its own private Bonjour service (_wherefi._tcp)
on your network — but only to work out whether you have granted the permission, so it can
explain why a test would otherwise read zero. It does not scan for, catalogue or upload
anything about other devices on your network.
Apple requires location permission before any app may read the name (SSID) and access-point identifier (BSSID) of the Wi-Fi network you are connected to. WhereFi uses it for exactly that and nothing else. Your coordinates are never read, never stored and never transmitted. Declining it costs you nothing but the network name on your reports.
The router brand, MAC/BSSID and IP addresses shown in the app are read locally on your device. They are not transmitted to us or to anyone else.
Delete the app. Everything WhereFi ever recorded is on your device, so nothing remains anywhere. We hold nothing to delete, because we hold nothing.
WhereFi is suitable for all ages and collects nothing from anyone, of any age.
If this policy ever changes, the new version will be posted at this address with a new effective date. Because the app has no servers, changes can only make disclosures more specific — they cannot grant us access we do not have.
