Hello,
Been a paid Glasswire mobile subscriber for some time.
Recently this has been turned into a completely free product which sends some alarm bells because everyone knows nothing is truly free…
The mobile site states:
“The GlassWire app does not have the ability to send or receive data itself and uses absolutely no data.”
However, when I installed on my latest phone a firewall setting that was automatically enabled says it “Uses some mobile.WIFI data in order for us to add host monitoring in the future”.
Am I misunderstanding or are you now logging which hosts we connect to?
What are the motivations for making the app now free? I know the app was recently bought by another company and - not to cast accusations - often buying companies can look for new ways to monetize.
I would kindly appreciate your reassurance that you are not / will not log our connections whether for legitimate app or business purposes (which would obviously be a huge breach of privacy/GDPR).
Thank you.
