The App stores the following data exclusively on your device for the purpose of providing stability analysis:
Connectivity status changes โ Whether your device is connected or disconnected from the network, and the interface type (Wi-Fi, Cellular)
Latency measurements โ Response time (in milliseconds) measured by sending lightweight HTTP HEAD requests to Apple's public connectivity check endpoints

4. How Data Is Used
The locally stored data is used solely to:
Calculate stability scores and trends over time
Generate charts and visualizations within the App

5. Network Requests
The App makes periodic lightweight HTTP HEAD requests to Apple's public connectivity endpoints (such as captive.apple.com) solely to measure network latency. These requests:
Do not transmit any user data
