+PRIVACY POLICY
+
+Last updated: 27-April-2024
+
+NextTraceroute respects your privacy and is committed to the protection of it. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application "NextTraceroute" (later referred as the/this "Application") for Android™ mobile devices.
+
+IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY, PLEASE DO NOT ACCESS THE APPLICATION.
+
+We reserve the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time and for any reason. We will alert you about any changes by updating the "Last updated" date of this Privacy Policy. You are encouraged to periodically review this Privacy Policy to stay informed of updates. You will be deemed to have been made aware of, will be subject to, and will be deemed to have accepted the changes in any revised Privacy Policy by your continued use of the Application after the date such revised Privacy Policy is posted.
+This Privacy Policy does not apply to the third-party online/mobile store from which you install the Application which may also collect and use data about you. We are not responsible for any of the data collected by any such third party.
+
+Note: This Privacy Policy is not the same as the Terms and Conditions agreement. The Terms and Conditions of the Application are located at https://github.com/nxtrace/NextTraceroute/blob/master/LICENSE.
+# 1.  COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
+## 1.1 User Provided Information
+
+The Application does not require any user registration and does not require the user to provide any personal information.
+The User Provided Data is the information you provide directly within the Application.
+
+## 1.2 Automatically Collected Information
+
+The Application itself does not collect any personal information. However, it utilizes the NextTrace API (hosted at nxtrace.org) which is not managed by the developer of the Application. The NextTrace API collects IP addresses related to you, your target request, and all intermediate traceroute hops. It also infers and collects your approximate location based on these IP addresses. This information is gathered by The NextTrace API for the essential functionality of route tracing and analysis. If you do not consent to the collection of your personal information by the NextTrace API, you may change the API's domain name in the settings page before using the application. Please be advised that we do not guarantee the performance or reliability of any third-party API domains that you configure. Additionally, the basic functionality of the Application involves querying third-party DNS servers with the domain name information you provide and that is specified on the settings page. These DNS servers are not managed by the developers of the Application and may collect your IP address and DNS query records. If you do not consent to these DNS servers collecting your personal information, you may change the DNS server address in the settings page before using the Application. Please be advised that we do not guarantee the performance or reliability of any third-party DNS servers that you configure.
+
+# 2. USE OF YOUR INFORMATION
+The Application is free software, and we do not derive any income from it. The Application itself does not share or sell any data to third parties. However, the basic functionality of the Application requires the use of third-party APIs and tools, as detailed in Chapter 1 'COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION'.
+
+# 3. DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION
+Your information (if any) may be disclosed only if needed to respond to legal requirements by any applicable law, rule, or regulation to protect the rights, property, and safety of others.
+
+# 4. HOW TO CONTACT US
+You may contact us with any questions, comments, or complaints, about this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices via email: r2qb8uc5@protonmail.com or our github page: https://github.com/nxtrace/NextTraceroute
