HQR NetDash Privacy Policy

HQR NetDash is a free internet connection monitor made by House of Quintanilla-Reese LLC ("we"). This policy explains what the app does with information on your PC. The short version: everything stays on your PC, and we never receive any of it.

What the app collects

Nothing is collected by us. HQR NetDash has no accounts, no sign-in, no analytics, no advertising and no tracking of any kind.

What the app does on your PC

To do its job, HQR NetDash works with the following information locally, on your PC only:

• Connection measurements. Every second it sends a small "ping" to your router and to the internet addresses shown in the app (by default 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8, which you can change in Settings), and records how long each reply took or whether it was lost.
• Wi-Fi details. It reads your current Wi-Fi network name, signal strength, band, channel and the list of Wi-Fi networks already saved in Windows, so it can show them and let you switch networks.
• Logs. It saves one line per second of these measurements to a file in your Documents folder (HQR NetDash logs) so you can review problems later or share them with your internet provider if you choose to.
• Your settings, such as network nicknames and alert preferences, in the app's own storage on your PC.

None of this is sent to us or to anyone else. The only network traffic the app creates is the ping messages described above, sent to the addresses you see in the app.

The dashboard

The dashboard is shown in a browser window by a small web server built into the app. That server only accepts connections from your own PC (localhost); other devices on your network cannot reach it. The dashboard window uses its own separate browser profile, so it doesn't read your browsing history, bookmarks or sign-ins.

Sharing the app

If you use "Share with a friend", the app opens your own email service (or copies a message for you to paste) with a link to our download page. We don't see who you share with.

Removing your data

Uninstalling HQR NetDash removes the app and its settings. Your log files stay in Documents\HQR NetDash logs until you delete that folder.

Children

HQR NetDash is a general-purpose utility and does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update the date above and post the new version at this address.
