QuecManager Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how QuecManager handles your information when you use our cellular modem management software.

QuecManager is designed with privacy as a core principle. As a local network management tool for Quectel cellular modems and routers, QuecManager operates primarily on your local network and devices, minimizing data collection and external communications.

Key Privacy Principles:

  • Local-first processing - your data stays on your network
  • Minimal data collection - we only collect what's necessary
  • No remote tracking - no analytics sent to external servers
