Privacy Policy for Connectivity

Last updated: September 2026

Connectivity ("the app") is developed for the Congressional App Challenge.

Information We Collect
- Location data: used to tag speed test samples and display signal
  strength on the map. Location may be collected in the background
  while the app is active, based on your permission settings.
- Account information: a username and password are required to
  create an account. Passwords are stored using salted cryptographic
  hashing and are never stored or transmitted in plain text.
- Network performance data: download/upload speeds, connection type
  (WiFi/Cellular), and radio technology are collected during speed
  tests to build the connectivity map.

How We Use Your Information
- Location and speed data are used solely to power the crowdsourced
  signal map shown to all users.
- Your username may be publicly associated with your contributed
  data (e.g. on the leaderboard).
- We do not sell your data to third parties.
- We do not use your data for advertising.

Your Choices
- You can enable "View Only Mode" in Settings to browse the map
  without contributing your own data.
- You can disable location permissions at any time via iOS Settings.

Data Storage
Data is stored on our servers and used only to power the features
described above.
