Privacy Policy

Bonezegei Connect · Last updated: October 31, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Bonezegei Connect (the “App”) handles information. The App is developed by Jofel Batutay (Bonezegei) (“we”, “us”). The App is designed to connect your Android phone to devices you own, such as microcontroller boards, over serial, Bluetooth Low Energy, Wi-Fi, and WebSocket connections.

1. Summary

• We do not collect, store, sell, or share your personal data on any server.
• The App has no accounts, no advertising, and no analytics or tracking SDKs.
• Data the App processes stays on your device or is sent only to the devices and addresses you choose to connect to.

2. Information the App Processes

The App processes the following information only to provide its features, on your device:

• Wi-Fi network names (SSIDs) and passwords that you enter in order to connect a device to a network. Passwords are sent to the connection you choose and are not saved by the App.
• Nearby Wi-Fi and Bluetooth device information, such as network names and Bluetooth addresses, shown in the App while you scan.
• Messages and data that you send or receive over serial, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or WebSocket connections. These are displayed in the App and are not stored by us.
• WebSocket addresses (for example ws://192.168.4.1:81/) that you type into the App.
• Display preference: your chosen light or dark theme, saved on your device so the App remembers it.

3. Permissions and Why We Use Them

• Location (fine location): Android requires this permission to scan for Wi-Fi networks and, on some Android versions, to scan for Bluetooth devices. The App does not use your location for tracking and does not send it anywhere.
• Bluetooth (scan and connect): To find and connect to nearby Bluetooth Low Energy devices that you choose.
• Wi-Fi state and change Wi-Fi state: To view nearby networks and connect your phone to a device's Wi-Fi network that you select.
• Network access (internet): To open WebSocket connections to the addresses you enter. The App does not connect to any server operated by us.
• USB: To communicate with serial devices you plug into your phone.

You can revoke any permission at any time in your Android settings. Some features will stop working if you do.

4. Information Sent Off Your Device

The App sends data only when you use a feature that communicates with another device or address:

• Data you send to a connected Bluetooth, serial, Wi-Fi, or WebSocket device is transmitted to that device.
• If you enter a WebSocket address that is hosted on the internet, the messages you send are transmitted to that host. The host's own privacy practices apply to that data. We have no control over it.
• Wi-Fi credentials you enter are sent to the device you are connecting to so it can join your network.

We do not receive any of this data.

5. Data Storage and Retention

The App does not have a server-side database. Your display preference is saved on your device. Messages, scan results, and passwords are held in memory only while the App is running and are cleared when you close or disconnect. You can clear the App's saved data by uninstalling it or clearing its storage in Android settings.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your information with third parties. Because the App does not transmit data to us, we have nothing to share. Any data you send to third-party hosts is governed by their policies.

7. Security

Connections to local devices use the protocols you choose. Some connections, such as plain ws://, are not encrypted. Use wss:// or a secure link when sending sensitive data over the internet. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and you are responsible for the devices and networks you connect to.

8. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy. Changes will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
