WiFi Plan: Privacy Policy

Information we collect

We collect no personal data through the app. WiFi Plan has no user accounts, no sign-in, and no server operated by us. Your floor plans, scans, survey points, measurements and exports are stored on your device, and in your own iCloud account if you turn sync on. None of it is sent to PDS Technology Ltd, and we have no access to any of it.

Location, for the WiFi network name

iOS requires an app to have location access While Using before it will tell the app the name of the WiFi network you are connected to. WiFi Plan asks for that permission only so it can read the network name and label each measurement with it. The app never stores your location and never sends it anywhere.

The camera

The camera and LiDAR scanner are used to scan rooms into a floor plan and to find your position on the plan (Locate me). This happens entirely on your device. No images, video or scan data are sent to us or to anyone else.

The compass

While you scan, the app reads the compass direction so that separate scans (another part of the house, an outbuilding, a floor above) line up with each other. Only the direction of north is kept, inside the project on your device or in your own iCloud. Reading it needs no permission, and it is never sent anywhere.

Speed tests

To measure your connection, each survey point sends and receives test data to and from a public speed test server: Cloudflare’s, built in, or a server you add yourself. Those requests go directly from your device to that server and carry no personal data beyond what any web request carries, such as your IP address, which the server’s operator handles under its own privacy policy. Nothing about them passes through us or is recorded by us.

iCloud sync

If you turn on iCloud sync, your projects are stored in your own iCloud account and synced between your devices by Apple. We cannot read anything stored there.

Exports and sharing

Plans, heat maps, reports, 3D models and measurement files you export are created on your device and go only where you send them, through the Share sheet or Files.

The Pro purchase

The app offers one in-app purchase, WiFi Plan Pro, which is processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We receive no personal details, payment information or contact details from it. Restoring the purchase on another device and refunds are handled by Apple.

Analytics and tracking

WiFi Plan contains no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party tracking. We do not use cookies or any tracking technologies, and we do not build any profile of you or of how you use the app. Nothing is sold, shared or used for tracking.

Contacting support

If you email us at support@pds-technology.ltd, we will receive your email address and whatever you include, and we use that solely to respond to you. We do not use it for marketing or share it with third parties.

Legal basis and your rights

Because the app does not collect personal data, there is normally no personal data for us to hold. Where we do process limited information, for example support correspondence you send us, we do so on the basis of our legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry, in line with UK data protection law.

Under UK data protection law you have rights over any personal data we hold about you, including the right to access, correct, or erase it. To exercise these rights, or if you have any concerns, contact us at support@pds-technology.ltd or by writing to PDS Technology Ltd, 71–75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
