Privacy policy

Last updated 12 October 2026.

Hop On has no server, no account and no analytics. Everything it knows stays on your phone. This page says exactly what that is.

What Hop On stores

When you teach Hop On a Wi-Fi sign-in page, it saves a small record on your phone:

• the address of the sign-in page (for example http://192.168.1.1/login) and its title;
• the names of the boxes on the page and what you typed or ticked in them, including any password;
• which button you pressed;
• the Wi-Fi network's name, if you allowed location (see below);
• when it last signed you in, and whether that worked.

These records are encrypted on your phone with a key held in the phone's secure hardware (the Android Keystore). They are excluded from Android's cloud backup and from phone-to-phone transfer, so a copy of your phone's backup never contains them. Deleting a network in Hop On deletes its record. Uninstalling the app deletes everything.

Where it is sent

A saved password is sent to one place: the sign-in page it came from, at the same address, on the same Wi-Fi network. If a network with the same name shows a different sign-in page, Hop On does not fill it in; it tells you instead.

Hop On makes two kinds of network connection: to the sign-in page itself, and to Google's connectivity check (connectivitycheck.gstatic.com), the same request Android makes to decide whether Wi-Fi is working. It makes no other connection. There is nothing to send anything to.

Permissions and why

• Notifications: to tell you it signed you in, or that it needs you to.
• Location (optional): Android only tells apps the name of the Wi-Fi network if they can use location. Hop On reads the name to label your networks and never reads, stores or sends a location. If you refuse, networks are labelled by the sign-in page's address instead.
• Run at startup: Android forgets Hop On's request to be told about sign-in pages when the phone restarts, so Hop On asks again.

Diagnostics

The app keeps a short log of what it did (times, page addresses, which step succeeded or failed) on the phone, so you can see why something didn't work. It never contains anything you typed. It leaves the phone only if you choose to share it, for example by emailing it when asking for help.

This website

This site uses no cookies, no analytics and no third-party resources. The web server keeps ordinary access logs (address, page, time) for a short period for operational reasons.
