CH341A MobilePrivacy Policy
Effective 13 November 2026 · CH341A Mobile by Khan Dish Network
Summary
CH341A Mobile is a hardware programming tool by Khan Dish Network, available internationally. Flash programming works offline and requires no account. We do not sell personal data.
Internet features include Google AdMob advertising, update checks, automatic technical success reports (enabled by default, with an OFF option in Settings), and error reports that you choose to submit. Details are below.
Data stored on your phone
- Selected firmware files and chip data are used locally for flash operations; firmware files are not uploaded in automatic success reports.
- Saved backups remain in the app's accessible backup storage until you remove them; their location may depend on your Android file permissions.
- Settings, including language, theme, automatic backup and success-reporting preference, are stored locally.
- Pending success reports are temporarily saved in an app-private retry queue if they cannot be uploaded immediately. The queue holds at most 512 small records, up to 90 days. It is cleared when you turn reporting OFF.
Firmware and backup files are not included in automatic success reports. Clearing app data or uninstalling the app removes app-private settings and pending reports; files saved in shared storage may remain and should be deleted separately.
Automatic technical success reports
To understand which flash chips the app can program reliably, eligible programming and verification results create technical reports. Success reporting is ON by default. When enabled, reports can be sent automatically and silently over HTTPS, including later when connectivity returns. They do not require a report-submission popup.
| Data | Examples | Purpose | When sent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chip and operation evidence | Chip model/manufacturer, protocol, JEDEC ID when available, chip capacity, operation, physical verification outcome | Compare successful and failed operations across chip models | Automatically after an eligible completed operation while reporting is enabled |
| Diagnostic counters | Elapsed duration, identity readings, USB recovery count, programming/verify retry counts and whether an original backup was saved | Understand compatibility and reliability | Automatically after an eligible completed operation while reporting is enabled |
| Report receipt details | Random per-report event ID, event timestamp and app build information | De-duplicate reports and compare behavior between builds | Automatically; may be uploaded later when internet is available |
The technical success-report payload does not include your name, email, telephone number, contacts, advertising ID, device serial number, firmware bytes, backup contents or filenames. Reports use random event IDs, not a persistent user identifier. Nevertheless, our server or hosting provider necessarily processes connection information, such as your IP address, to receive the request; technical reports should not be described as entirely free of personal data in every jurisdiction.
Choice: Open Settings and turn Automatic success reports OFF to stop future automatic collection and clear unsent local success reports. An explanation and confirmation appear before disabling. Background upload failures never affect reading, erasing, writing, verification or saved backups.
Error reports you choose to send
When a programming operation fails, you can choose to submit a diagnostic report. The report may contain the chip identification, operation and failure stage, app and phone environment, timing, commands, responses and limited captured chip-data samples needed to diagnose the issue. Do not submit a report containing confidential chip data if you do not have permission to share it. The app does not intentionally upload an entire firmware or backup file as an error report.
The report form may request your name, email address and an optional explanation so we can reply. These manually supplied contact details are not part of automatic success reports. Submitted reports are sent to our server at ch341a.khandishnetwork.net over HTTPS. Error-report submission is a separate process from automatic success reporting.
Advertising (Google AdMob)
CH341A Mobile is free and uses Google AdMob to display advertisements, including app-open, interstitial and optional rewarded ads. Ad timing and availability can change; ads are not a requirement for basic flash programming.
The advertising SDK may process advertising ID and other device identifiers, IP address and approximate location inferred from it, ad interactions, app activity and diagnostics to deliver, measure and protect ads. Google's own policies apply: How Google uses information from apps that use its services and Google Privacy Policy.
In the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Switzerland and elsewhere when applicable, an ads consent choice may be presented. Available advertising privacy choices can be adjusted in the app or Android's settings.
The app does not send flash-memory contents, firmware files or user-submitted error-report messages to the advertising provider as part of its reporting feature.
Update checks
The app may request its public update configuration from ch341a.khandishnetwork.net/update.json to check availability and supported builds. As with any web request, the hosting provider may process the IP address and HTTP request information. No account is required for update checks.
Purposes and recipients
We use technical success evidence to compare chip compatibility, investigate failures, detect repeated problems and improve reliability. We use voluntarily submitted error reports to troubleshoot and reply to requests for support. We do not use these technical reports for advertising or sell them.
Our hosting and infrastructure service providers process requests and store reports for us. Advertising-related information is separately processed by Google AdMob under Google's privacy policies. The app can be used worldwide, and relevant local privacy and consumer-protection laws may apply.
Data retention
Automatic success reports are held on your phone only while pending, for no longer than 90 days and subject to a maximum of 512 reports. After a server receipt is acknowledged, that pending record is removed from the local queue. Turning reporting OFF clears pending records.
Manually submitted error reports may be kept for up to 24 months for investigation and support, unless earlier deletion is required or requested. Server-side technical success evidence is kept for compatibility analysis until no longer needed; it is not linked to user accounts, and there is no automatic user-facing history or per-user deletion interface.
Your choices and deletion requests
- Turn Automatic success reports OFF in app Settings at any time. Unsent reports will be removed from the device.
- Choose whether to submit an error report; the app can be used without submitting one.
- For data access, deletion, privacy questions, or other rights available under local law, email support@khandishnetwork.net. Include the email address used for a manual support report if you wish it to be located. A report without user-linked identifiers may not be individually identifiable after receipt.
- Remove saved backup files using the app's backup manager or your file manager. You can clear app data or uninstall the app to remove app-private data.
See our data-deletion instructions for more information.
Android access and permissions
| Access | Purpose |
|---|---|
| USB device access | Communicate with an attached CH341A programmer, with Android's USB approval. |
| Foreground service, notifications and wake lock | Keep users informed and active programming operations running safely. |
| Selected files and backup storage | Read the files you choose and manage backups. |
| Internet and network state | Ads, update checks, user-submitted error reports and automatic success-report background upload. |
| Advertising ID (where available) | Ad delivery and measurement through Google AdMob. |
The app does not need your contact list, call history, SMS, microphone or precise location for ordinary chip programming.
Security and reliability
Reports are transmitted over HTTPS. Server-side access is restricted to authorised administrators and service providers. Local retry data is kept in app-private storage. No electronic service can guarantee absolute security.
If our reporting service is unavailable, the app can continue normal chip operations; reporting can be retried later without interrupting the programming process.
International users
The app is offered internationally. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to ask about, access, correct or delete personal information, object to certain processing, or withdraw consent where consent is the basis for processing. Contact us using the address below. Applicable legal rights are not limited by this policy.
Children
CH341A Mobile is designed for technical users and repair professionals, not directed at children. We do not knowingly seek personal data from children.
Policy changes
We may revise this policy when features or data practices change. The effective date on this page reflects the current policy. Significant changes will be communicated where required by law.
