Active Circuitry (“we,” “our,” or “us”) operates the AC Port Scanner mobile application (the “App”). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our App.
1. Overview
AC Port Scanner is a network diagnostic tool designed for security professionals, system administrators, and network engineers. The App is committed to protecting your privacy and operates with minimal data collection.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information We DO NOT Collect
We do NOT collect, store, or transmit any of the following:
– Personal identification information (name, email, phone number)
– Device identifiers (IMEI, advertising ID, device ID)
– Location data (GPS, WiFi, cell tower)
– Usage analytics or statistics
– Crash reports or diagnostic data
– User accounts or authentication credentials
– Contact information
– Any data that leaves your device
2.2 Information That Stays on Your Device Only
The App processes the following information locally on your device only and does NOT transmit it to any servers:
– Network scan results: IP addresses, port numbers, service banners, and scan timestamps
– User-entered scan configurations: Target IP addresses, port ranges, and scan settings
– Temporary scan data: Connection states and response times during active scans
– PDF export files: Generated scan reports saved to your local device storage
Important: All scan data remains exclusively on your device. We have no servers, databases, or backend infrastructure to receive or store your data.
3. How We Use Information
The App uses locally stored information solely for:
– Network scanning operations: Performing TCP, UDP, and service detection scans
– Results display: Showing scan results within the App interface
– PDF report generation: Creating exportable scan reports
– App functionality: Maintaining scan history and user preferences on your device
4. Permissions Requested
The App requests the following Android permissions:
4.1 Required Permissions
– INTERNET: Necessary to perform network scans and port connections
– Purpose: Enable TCP/UDP socket connections to scan network ports
– Data Access: Only connects to IP addresses you manually specify
– ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Check network connectivity status
– Purpose: Verify device has network access before initiating scans
– Data Access: Read-only access to connection state (WiFi/mobile data status)
4.2 Optional Permissions (When Using Features)
– Storage Access (via Share functionality): Save and share PDF reports
– Purpose: Export scan results to PDF files
– Data Access: Write PDF files to Downloads folder when you explicitly request export
– Note: PDF files are saved locally and only shared if you manually use the share function
5. Third-Party Services and SDKs
5.1 Included Dependencies
