Every insight we produce depends on the trust of the people who participate in our research. We take that responsibility seriously — in our methodology, our data handling, and our legal commitments.
We process network and device data to create aggregated analysis while intentionally filtering out personal information. Raw data is transformed into anonymized insights used to improve the telecommunications industry, in compliance with GDPR and CCPA.
Data is sourced through vetted third-party applications that require explicit user consent. That information is used exclusively for the creation of aggregate reports, and is protected by multi-layered safeguards against theft, fraud, and misuse.
We process location data tied to network performance events, network diagnostic information for non-terrestrial network analysis, device connection types, network operator details, and device metadata such as phone models and operating systems, not tied to individuals.
We never collect personally identifying details — names, phone numbers, addresses, age, or gender without explicit permission. We never collect application usage, access content data, or any directly identifying consumer information without explicit permission.
Our business model centers on depersonalized network analytics. Data is never used for individual tracking or user profiling, and the anonymized analytics we publish are aggregated at the industry level.
Location and network data are used exclusively for service measurement. We do not disclose data to third parties for tracking or profiling purposes, and our third-party contracts mandate equivalent security measures.
