Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 2026

IGT Network ("we", "our", or "us") values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how our application operates, what information is accessed, and how it is handled in compliance with Google Play policies.

1. Information We Collect

IGT Network does NOT collect, store, transmit, or sell personal user data to external servers. All core functionality operates locally on your device.

2. App Inventory (QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES) & Usage Access

To provide the core functionality of our firewall, the app requires the QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission to retrieve a list of installed applications on your device, as well as Usage Access to monitor data consumption.

3. VPN Service

IGT Network uses Android's VpnService API exclusively to act as a local firewall to control background internet access for the applications you select.

4. Advertising & Advertising ID

Our app uses third-party advertising networks (managed via the Appodeal mediation platform) to display advertisements for free users. To provide personalized and relevant ads, the app and these third-party networks request the AD_ID permission (Advertising ID).

These third-party ad networks (which may include Meta Audience Network, AppLovin, Unity Ads, Vungle/Liftoff, Yandex, and BidMachine) may collect certain information such as:

This information is collected and processed directly by these third-party networks. You can reset your Advertising ID or opt-out of personalized ads at any time through your Android device settings. For more information on how our mediation partner handles data, please review Appodeal's Privacy Policy:

5. Premium Subscriptions & Billing

IGT Network offers an optional Premium subscription to remove advertisements and enable automatic VPN startup. All payments and subscriptions are processed securely through the Google Play Billing service. We do not collect, process, or store your credit card information, billing address, or personal financial data. Your subscription status is verified securely through Google Play and a status flag is stored locally on your device.

6. Notifications & Device Boot Permissions

On Android 13 and above, notification permission is requested to display persistent VPN status updates (required by Android to keep the firewall running in the background).

Additionally, the app uses the RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED permission to detect when your device is turned on or restarted. This is used strictly to automatically restore your VPN protection (for Premium users) or to send a local reminder notification (for Free users) so your device remains protected. Notifications are generated locally and are not used for marketing.

7. Data Storage & Device Management

App settings, such as your VPN status, Premium subscription flag, and your list of blocked applications, are stored locally using Android SharedPreferences. No cloud database is used. Additionally, the app provides local device management tools (such as clearing app cache). These tools operate entirely on your device and do not transmit data externally.

8. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, trade, or share any user data with third parties, except for the non-personal device data collected directly by our advertising partners as described in Section 4.

9. Children’s Privacy

This application is not directed toward children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

10. User Rights

11. Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy when necessary to comply with legal or operational requirements. Updates will be reflected on this page.
