Device Info
Last updated: November 5, 2026
Data Collection
Device Info does not collect user confidential data. Unless you choose to share a device report or use Network Mapper (see below), the only data collected by Device Info are the device model and the device manufacturer. We use these data to detect the chipset, device name, CPU architecture, memory type, and bandwidth, etc. We do not collect personal information such as email addresses, your name, address, etc. Also, we have integrated the Google Firebase platform. So firebase will collect the data for it to work.
Sharing a Device Report
Device Info lets you share a report of your phone's hardware. Nothing is sent unless you tap Share. When you do, the app sends the hardware details shown in the report to deviceinfo.app:
- Device brand, model, codename, board and hardware name
- Android version, security patch month, kernel version and system features
- Chipset, CPU cores and speeds, GPU, RAM and storage size
- Display, cameras, battery, sensors and connectivity features
- The Device Info app version
The report does not include your name, email address, accounts, phone number, contacts, location, IMEI, serial number, Android ID, MAC address or any files from your phone.
Shared reports are public. Each report gets its own link (deviceinfo.app/r/…) that anyone with the link can open, and its specs may also appear on the public page for that phone model on deviceinfo.app, which search engines can index. If the same phone is shared again, the existing link is reused.
We do not store your IP address. To prevent abuse, the server keeps only a one-way hashed value that changes every day and cannot be turned back into your IP address. Reports that nobody has shared or opened for 12 months are deleted automatically.
To remove a report you shared, email support@deviceinfo.app with its link and we will take it down.
Network Mapper
Network Mapper shows how your phone connects to the internet and, when you tap Scan, lists the devices on the Wi-Fi network you are connected to. Nothing is scanned unless you tap Scan, and only your current local network is scanned.
The scan runs on your phone. The list of devices it finds (such as their IP addresses, names and MAC addresses) stays on your phone and is not uploaded or saved by us.
To show who made each device, the app sends only the first part of each device's MAC address (the manufacturer prefix, for example 00:1A:2B) to deviceinfo.app, which looks it up in a public list of hardware manufacturers. This prefix identifies a manufacturer, not a particular device or person. Full MAC addresses, IP addresses and device names are never sent, and the prefixes are not stored after the lookup.
Data collected by third-party SDK
The third-party SDK we use:
- Google Firebase
- Google AdMob
- Google Play Services & Billing
These SDKs may collect your data, including Google advertising ID, advertising data (advertisement display, clicks, etc.), data used to combat fraud, cookies, device-related data (device model, region, language, etc.)
