Privacy policy

This document sets out the privacy principles that apply to the myNetWorking application (the “App”) and to the nci.pl/mynetworking website.

Last updated: 2026-09-30

In short: the App does not collect or send any personal data — there are no accounts, telemetry, analytics or ads. It connects only to the services you add yourself and to the reference servers; versions downloaded from nci.pl also connect to nci.pl, but only when you click “Check for updates”.

1. Who is responsible for the App

The publisher of the App and the controller of the data described in this document is NCI Waldemar Miotk, ul. Bławatkowa 10, 84-100 Puck, Poland. Contact for privacy matters: mynetworking@nci.pl.

2. No collection of personal data

The App does not collect, process, profile or transfer any personal data or any data about how it is used — neither to us nor to anyone else. It contains no analytics, telemetry or tracking mechanisms, sends no crash reports and displays no ads. There are no user accounts and no sign-in.

3. Data stored on the device

All data created while you use the App is stored exclusively on the device on which the App is installed:

  • the service list: name, host, port, check interval and alarm settings;

  • the App settings, including the reference servers and the selected list view;

  • the incident history — up to the latest 300 incidents;

  • the event log — up to the latest 500 entries;

  • the last status, time of the last check and response time of each service.

The App never sends this data anywhere. It can only end up in a device backup if one is turned on in the system (e.g. iCloud Backup or a backup to your Google account).

CSV files are created only when you save them yourself, and they are stored wherever you choose. The exact storage locations for each system are described on the Installation page.

4. Network connections

Apart from the exception described in section 4a, the network connections made by the App serve solely to check the availability of the hosts and reference servers specified by the user. No user data is transmitted over these connections. This is the complete list:

  • Your services. A TCP connection attempt to each enabled service (host and port), at the intervals you set. The connection is closed immediately, without any data being transferred.

  • DNS. Lookups of your services’ host names through the operating system and the DNS server configured in it.

  • Reference servers. TCP connection attempts — by default to port 53 on 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare), 8.8.8.8 (Google) and 9.9.9.9 (Quad9) — only when a service check fails, or regularly while the Internet connection watch is on: every 30 seconds, and during an Internet outage every 10 seconds (the default value of the Re-check interval when down setting). The App does not send them any DNS queries or any other data.

The operators of the monitored hosts and of the reference servers can see connection attempts from your IP address, as with any Internet connection. Notifications are generated on the device — we do not use push notification servers.

4a. Update check (only versions downloaded from nci.pl)

Versions of the App downloaded directly from nci.pl (the .dmg file for macOS and the .deb and .rpm packages for Linux) have a Check for updates button in the settings. Only when you click it does the App send a single HTTPS request for the file https://nci.pl/mynetworking/version.json, which contains the latest version number.

  • The request contains no user data — only the App version and the name of the operating system in the User-Agent header, e.g. myNetWorking/1.1.0 (macos; direct).

  • As with any Internet connection, the server sees the IP address of the device and records the request in its access logs (section 6).

  • The App never checks for updates on its own. It opens the download page in the browser only when you choose Open download page.

Versions from the App Store, Microsoft Store and Google Play do not have this button and do not connect to nci.pl. They are updated by the store.

5. Control over your data

You have full and exclusive control over the data stored by the App. You can delete it at any time:

  • in the App — by deleting services (together with their incidents) or single incidents, or with the Clear incidents or Clear logs command;

  • by uninstalling the App. On iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows, the data is removed together with the App. On macOS and Linux, it remains in your user folder until you delete it — the Installation page describes how.

6. The website

The nci.pl/mynetworking website:

  • does not use analytics tools or ads and does not load scripts, fonts or other resources from external servers;

  • remembers the theme you choose (light or dark) in your browser’s storage (localStorage). This information is not sent anywhere;

  • records clicks on the download buttons and visits to the stores: each counted click has its own database record with its date and time, version, download channel, event type and browser information (User-Agent, up to 1024 characters). These details help assess automated traffic; the User-Agent can be spoofed. Only NCI console administrators can see the individual records. Daily totals are also retained. These records do not contain IP addresses, referrers or visitor identifiers, and counting clicks does not use cookies;

  • like every web server, keeps access logs (including the IP address, the date, the page address and information about the browser). The logs are kept by the hosting provider for security and diagnostic purposes, and how long they are retained depends on the hosting settings. The legal basis is the legitimate interest in maintaining a secure website (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

The store buttons lead to the websites of Apple, Microsoft and Google, where those companies’ privacy policies apply.

7. Public reports

On the Support and reports page you can report a problem or an idea without creating an account. Data supplied with a report is used only to handle that report: to discuss it, respond, and resolve the problem or consider the idea. We do not use it for marketing or mailing lists. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in handling reports (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

  • Public: the report number (MNW-…), the App version, the nickname, title, description, type and status, the dates and times (Europe/Warsaw time) and published replies. Anyone can read them, so do not include in the description any information you do not want to reveal — including the addresses of your own servers.

  • Private: the optional email address and browser information (User-Agent), which are needed to handle the report and to assess spam. Only NCI console administrators can see them. When a new report is submitted, we receive a message at mynetworking@nci.pl with its content, the nickname, the email address (if provided), the time and the User-Agent.

  • Notifications: if you provide an email address, you will receive a message from kontakt@nci.pl with a link to the discussion once an NCI reply is published. You can reply to that message — your reply reaches mynetworking@nci.pl, and an administrator manually adds your contribution to the public discussion. We do not publish your email address or the email headers.

  • Form cookie: the form uses a technical session cookie, nci_support, which is valid only under /mynetworking/support and only until you close your browser. It protects the form against abuse and handles the submission; it is not used for tracking.

  • Spam protection: at most 5 reports can be sent per hour. To count this limit, we store a private technical identifier derived from the network address with a secret key (HMAC), not the IP address itself. These entries expire after an hour and are deleted when further reports are submitted.

  • Moderation and deletion: reports and discussions are stored in the support database. An administrator can edit, hide or delete an entry; hiding an entry does not delete its data from the console. You can request the deletion of your data by writing to mynetworking@nci.pl and quoting the report number.

Report confidential matters and security issues directly by email. Never send passwords.

8. Email contact

When you write to mynetworking@nci.pl, we receive your email address and whatever you write or attach. We use this only to reply to you and resolve the matter. We keep the correspondence until the matter is closed, and delete it earlier at your request. We do not add you to any mailing list and do not pass the correspondence on to anyone.

9. App stores

Downloading and updating the App through the App Store, Microsoft Store or Google Play is subject to the privacy policy of the store operator: Apple, Microsoft or Google. The App itself works the same way regardless of where it was obtained — except for the update check described in section 4a.

10. Your rights

The GDPR gives you the right of access to your data and the rights to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection.

The App’s data is stored on your device, so you exercise these rights yourself, immediately: deleting data in the App or uninstalling the App erases everything the App has stored. Because the App does not process any data outside your device, it does not need your consent to process data.

For matters concerning reports, correspondence and the website, write to mynetworking@nci.pl. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (UODO), the Polish supervisory authority.

11. Children

The App is a general-purpose tool and is not directed at children. It does not collect data from anyone, and therefore not from children either.

12. Changes

If we ever add a feature that sends anything outside your device, we will describe it here before it is added to the App, and we will change the update date at the top.
