Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2, 2026

Overview

Spindlecode ("we", "our", "us") builds privacy-first software. Our apps are designed to work entirely on your device. We do not collect, transmit, or store your personal data on any external servers.

NetJolt

NetJolt is a network diagnostics and monitoring app for macOS and iOS. The following describes how NetJolt handles your data.

Data that stays on your device

All of the following data is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted to Spindlecode or any third party:

  • Network diagnostics results (ping, traceroute, DNS lookups, speed tests)
  • WiFi network names (SSIDs), signal strength, and connection history
  • Device discovery results (device names, IP addresses, services)
  • Latency measurements and connection logs
  • App preferences and settings

Network requests

NetJolt makes the following network requests as part of its core functionality:

  • Public IP detection: A request is made to a third-party IP lookup service to display your public IP address. Only your IP address is returned; no personal information is sent.
  • Speed tests: When you initiate a speed test, data is exchanged with speed test servers to measure your connection speed. No personal information is included.
  • Latency measurements: ICMP ping and HTTP requests are sent to hosts you configure (e.g., your router, Cloudflare DNS) to measure round-trip time.
  • GeoIP lookups: Your public IP may be sent to a geolocation service to display approximate location information. No other data is transmitted.

Permissions

NetJolt requests the following system permissions, each used solely for its stated purpose:

  • Location (iOS): Used only to read the current WiFi network name (SSID), as required by iOS. Your location is never stored or shared.
  • Local Network: Used to discover devices on your network, measure latency to your router, and perform network scans.

Analytics and tracking

NetJolt does not include any analytics SDKs, crash reporting services, advertising frameworks, or tracking technologies. We do not collect usage data, device identifiers, or behavioral information of any kind.

Third-party services

NetJolt does not share data with third parties. The network requests described above are made directly from your device and contain no personal information beyond your IP address (which is inherent to any network request).

Children's Privacy

Our apps are not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
