Overview
Ping Legacy ("the App") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our application.
Data Collection
The App does not collect or sell personal data for advertising or marketing purposes. Your ping history, settings, and favorites stay on your device. The App does send anonymous crash and performance diagnostics to help us fix bugs - see Crash & Performance Reporting below for details.
Information Stored Locally
The App stores the following data locally on your device:
- Ping History: Records of your ping sessions including target hosts, timestamps, and results
- Settings: Your preferences such as theme selection and notification settings
- Favorites: Your saved favorite hosts for quick access
- Scheduled Tasks: Your configured scheduled ping tasks
This data is stored locally using SQLite database and Windows settings storage. It never leaves your device.
Network Requests
The App makes the following network requests:
- ICMP Ping: Sends ping requests to hosts you specify
- DNS Lookup: Resolves hostnames using your system's DNS
- Public IP: Fetches your public IP from ip-api.com (optional)
- Speed Test: Downloads/uploads test data to measure connection speed
- Traceroute: Traces network path to specified hosts
- Port Scan: Checks port connectivity on hosts you specify
These requests are initiated only when you explicitly use these features.
Crash & Performance Reporting
The App uses Sentry to automatically report crashes, errors, and performance data so we can diagnose and fix issues. This includes:
- Error messages and stack traces
- App version, OS version, and device type
- Performance timing data (for example, how long operations take)
No IP address, computer name, or other personally identifiable information is sent. Ping history, target hosts, and other content you enter into the App are also not included in crash or performance reports. This data is processed by Sentry under its own privacy policy.
Third-Party Services
The App uses minimal third-party services:
- ip-api.com: Used to fetch your public IP address (no personal data sent)
- Speed test servers: Used for measuring internet speed
- Sentry: Used for crash and performance reporting (see above)
Data Retention
History data is automatically deleted based on your configured retention period (default: 15 days). You can also manually clear all data at any time through the Settings page.
Children's Privacy
The App does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13 years of age.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated revision date.
