Privacy Policy
Last updated: 28 October 2026
Just Network Meter ("the app") is an Android app that shows your network speed in the status bar, published by Arah Labs on Google Play. This policy covers the version of the app distributed through Google Play. It explains what the app reads, what it keeps, and the rights you have. It is published at https://networkmeter.arahlabs.com/privacy-policy.
In short: Arah Labs does not collect your data. The app has no internet access, so it cannot send anything off your phone. It reads your phone's total traffic counters to calculate the speed, keeps only your meter settings, and has no accounts, ads, analytics or tracking. It never sells or shares data.
1. Who we are
Just Network Meter is made by Arah Labs, Indonesia. For privacy questions or any request under section 7, contact support@arahlabs.com.
2. What the app reads and keeps
Everything below stays on your device. None of it is sent to Arah Labs or anyone else.
| Data | Why | Kept? |
|---|---|---|
| Your phone's total number of bytes sent and received, as reported by Android | To calculate the current download and upload speed | No. Each reading is used for the next calculation and then discarded. No history is kept. |
| Meter settings (style, text size, unit, scale, arrows, update interval, and the on/off options) | To remember your choices | Yes, on your device |
The traffic counters are device-wide totals. The app cannot see which apps, websites or people your phone talks to, and it does not read the content of any traffic.
3. Data sent over the internet
None. The app does not request Android's internet permission, so it has no way to connect to the internet. It contains no advertising, analytics or crash-reporting SDKs. Because nothing is collected or transferred, there is no processing that needs a legal basis and no international data transfer.
4. Android backup
Your meter settings may be included in Android's own backup and device-to-device transfer, so they come back when you set up a new phone. This backup is created and stored by Google under your Google account settings, not by Arah Labs, and Arah Labs cannot access it. The settings contain no personal data. You can turn backup off in your phone's settings.
5. Permissions
| Permission | Why the app needs it |
|---|---|
| Notifications | Android only allows an app to show content in the status bar through a notification. The meter is that notification's icon. |
| Foreground service (special use) | Keeps the meter running while you use other apps. |
| Run at startup | Starts the meter again after the phone restarts, only if you turn on "Start after reboot" and the meter was on. |
The app does not use your location, contacts, files, camera, microphone, phone identifiers or advertising ID.
6. Retention
| Data | How long |
|---|---|
| Traffic counter readings | Not stored. Each one is discarded after the next speed is calculated. |
| Meter settings | Until you clear the app's storage or uninstall the app |
Arah Labs keeps no data about you.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live, including under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Indonesia's Personal Data Protection Law (Undang-Undang No. 27 Tahun 2022 tentang Pelindungan Data Pribadi, "UU PDP"), you have the right to:
- access the personal data held about you, and receive a copy in a portable format;
- correct it, or have it deleted;
- restrict or object to its processing;
- withdraw any consent you gave, at any time;
- complain to a data protection authority: in the EU, the authority of your country; in Indonesia, the authority that supervises UU PDP.
To make a request, email the address in section 1. In practice, Arah Labs holds no personal data from this app, so there is nothing to access, correct or delete. Your settings are on your device, and clearing the app's storage removes them.
8. Children
The app is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from anyone, including children.
9. This website
networkmeter.arahlabs.com is a static website. It sets no cookies and uses no analytics or tracking. It is hosted on Cloudflare, which processes visitors' IP addresses and basic request details to deliver and protect the site, under the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

10. Changes
If the app starts handling data differently, this policy will be updated before that version is released, and the date at the top will change. The current version is always published at this address.
