Frequently asked questions about the Purple App
Is the Purple App free to download and use?+
Yes. The Purple App is completely free on iOS and Android. You can locate over 350,000 public hotspots and connect securely with zero subscription fees or hidden costs.
How does the app connect to WiFi automatically without passwords?+
The Purple App installs a secure Passpoint (Hotspot 2.0) profile on your mobile device. When you walk into any Purple partner venue, your phone authenticates via encrypted 802.1X certificates in the background, bypassing manual web forms and splash pages.
Is my browsing data encrypted on public WiFi?+
Yes. Unlike open unencrypted guest networks, Purple Passpoint connections provide individual over-the-air WPA2/WPA3 enterprise encryption, protecting your login credentials and personal traffic from local eavesdropping.
Can I find hotspots when I do not have a mobile data connection?+
Yes. The Purple App allows you to cache regional hotspot maps locally. You can browse nearby verified venues, opening hours, and WiFi connection details even when offline or traveling internationally without roaming data.
How do physical venues and businesses join the Purple network?+
Venues and enterprise businesses can deploy Purple's guest WiFi and analytics platform on existing access points from Cisco Meraki, HPE Aruba, Ruckus, Juniper Mist, and Fortinet. Visit our solutions overview or contact our sales team to get started.
Does the Purple App track my personal location in the background?+
No. Purple is ISO 27001 certified and complies with CCPA/CPRA privacy standards. Location access is used only while the app is active to display nearby hotspots, and personal data is never sold to third-party brokers.
