Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

What we collect

• Anonymous usage data: Page views, search queries (aggregated, not linked to individuals)
• Submissions: IP address (hashed after 30 days) when you submit a WiFi password
• Votes: IP address stored for 24 hours to prevent duplicate votes, then discarded
• Account data: Email and username if you create an account (optional)
• Device identifier (mobile app): The GetWifi iOS app generates a random device ID, not tied to your Apple ID or personal identity, sent with submissions, votes and reports to prevent spam and abuse
• Location (mobile app / "Near Me"): Your device's coordinates, sent only when you use "Near Me" search, to find WiFi venues around you

What we don't collect

• We do not store the location you share for "Near Me" search — it is used only to compute distances for that one request, then discarded
• We do not sell data to third parties
• We do not use advertising trackers

WiFi Passwords

Passwords submitted to GetWifi are publicly visible. Only submit passwords for public/semi-public networks (airports, hotels, cafes) — never submit home or corporate network passwords.

Your Rights

You can request deletion of any content you submitted by contacting us. Account data can be deleted through your profile settings.
