🔐 Privacy Policy — Router Manager

Last updated: 28 October 2026

Router Manager ("the app") is an unofficial tool for managing Huawei ONT routers over your local network, and for opening the admin web page of other routers on your local network. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or produced by Huawei.

This policy explains what the app does with your information. The short version: the app has no server and no account system. Your router credentials and settings never leave your device or your local network. The app shows ads from Google AdMob, and it connects to the internet for those ads, for anonymous usage analytics and crash reports, and for the optional Speed Test, all described below.

📱 What the App Stores, and Where

Everything below is stored only on your device. None of it is transmitted to the developer or to any third party.

🌐 Network Connections the App Makes

Your own router: the app talks to your own router over your local network (for example http://192.168.100.1). This connection uses plain HTTP because that is what the router's own web interface provides. It never leaves your local network.

Other router web page: for routers the app cannot manage directly, the "Other router? Open its web page" screen opens the router's own admin page inside the app. To find it, the app checks whether a few common router addresses on your local network (such as 192.168.1.1, or your Wi-Fi's gateway address) answer on the usual web ports (80, 443 and 8080). These checks go only to addresses on your local network. The page is limited to router addresses: local network addresses (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x) and the login addresses routers use on their own network (such as tplinkwifi.net). Other websites cannot be opened in it. The router's page is shown as the router provides it. Anything you type into it, such as the router's username and password, goes directly to your router. The app does not read, store or send it anywhere else.

Speed Test: the app connects to the internet for the Speed Test screen only when you start a test yourself. The test downloads and uploads blocks of random test data to Cloudflare's public speed-test service (speed.cloudflare.com) to measure your connection speed. None of your personal data, router settings, credentials or device list is sent. As with any internet connection, Cloudflare can see your public IP address while the test runs. Cloudflare's handling of that is covered by Cloudflare's own privacy policy.

Advertising: the home screen shows ads served by Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK). To show and measure ads, the SDK collects and sends to Google your device's advertising ID, your IP address, approximate location derived from it, device and app information, and how you interact with the ads. Where the law requires it (in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland) you are asked for consent before any ad is requested, using Google's consent form; you can refuse or choose individual purposes under “Manage options”. In US states with privacy laws you can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for advertising. In those regions an “Ad privacy choices” button appears on the app's home screen, where you can change or withdraw your choice at any time. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's settings. None of your router data, credentials or device list is passed to the ad SDK. Google's use of this data is covered by Google's own policy.

Analytics and crash reports: the app uses Google Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics to understand how the app is used and to fix crashes. Firebase collects which screens you open, which features you use and whether they succeeded (for example “Wi-Fi settings saved”), whether a router login succeeded or why it failed (for example wrong password or router not reachable), the router family and model (such as HG series, HG8245H), app version, device model, Android version, approximate country, an app-instance ID and, for crashes, the technical crash details. It never receives your router password, Wi-Fi name or password, IP or MAC addresses, or your device list. This data goes to Google and is shown to the developer only as statistics; it is not used to identify you. Google's use of this data is covered by Google's own policy.

The app makes no other internet connections, and none directly to the developer.

🛡️ Permissions and Why They Are Needed

You can decline any of the optional permissions and continue using the app.

🤝 Data Sharing and Selling

The developer does not sell any of your data, and there is no developer back end. The advertising data described above goes directly from your device to Google. The analytics and crash data described above also goes to Google, and the developer sees it only as aggregated statistics and crash reports.

👶 Children

The app is a network administration utility and is not directed at children.

🗑️ Deleting Your Data

Uninstalling the app removes everything it stored, including saved router credentials. You can also clear it at any time in Android Settings → Apps → Router Manager → Storage → Clear data.

📝 Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at the same web address with a new "Last updated" date.
