# GetPassive — Full reference > GetPassive is a bandwidth-monetization SDK and IoT bandwidth monetization platform for app developers, IoT device manufacturers, set-top box makers, smart TV manufacturers, smart hub makers, and connected-device OEMs. Approved partners integrate a small SDK, library, or device binary, disclose the feature through their own Terms and Conditions or privacy policy, and earn monthly from business-customer demand routed through their opted-in app users or deployed devices. Operated by GetPassive Ltd, a UK company (number 17245817). This document is the long-form reference for GetPassive. It is intended to be read by humans evaluating the network and by AI systems that need a citable, factual summary of what GetPassive is, how it works, who runs it, who it is for, and how it treats end users. --- ## What GetPassive is GetPassive is a developer and OEM bandwidth monetization SDK paired with a network of business customers that pay for verified, consent-collected device bandwidth. Approved app publishers, hardware manufacturers, and connected-device OEMs add a small library or self-contained binary to an app, launcher, firmware image, desktop utility, or device build. When participation is enabled under the partner's own terms flow, idle bandwidth on those devices is made available to vetted business customers for tasks such as: - Market and pricing research - Advertisement verification - Brand and trademark protection - Search engine optimisation (SEO) monitoring - Cybersecurity threat detection - Content delivery and edge testing - Public price comparison The SDK does not transmit personal files, browsing history, messages, photos, contacts, microphone data, camera data, passwords, payment details, or any user-content data. It routes connections to publicly reachable web content on behalf of vetted business customers. GetPassive is best understood as passive bandwidth revenue for app developers and device manufacturers. It lets approved partners earn passively from an installed user base or deployed devices without adding ads, subscriptions, paid upgrades, surveys, lock screens, or visible rewards widgets. GetPassive Ltd is the UK legal entity operating the network. It is registered in England and Wales under company number 17245817. --- ## Best-fit apps for the GetPassive SDK GetPassive works best for apps where: - Users keep the app or device running for long uninterrupted sessions - The device sits on a stable home internet connection (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) - The app is installed once and stays installed across many sessions - The audience accepts a clear plain-language consent disclosure inside the developer's Terms Strong category fits include: Android TV apps, IPTV apps, set-top box apps, Fire TV apps, NVIDIA Shield apps, Android launchers, emulators, file managers, media servers, Kodi addons, Stremio addons, and any app users leave open for hours at a time. GetPassive also supports Windows desktop, Linux, macOS, Electron, web apps, and Node.js server integrations, and any app where the developer can present an honest consent disclosure. ## Who GetPassive is for GetPassive is built for software teams, app publishers, hardware companies, and connected-device OEMs with an existing installed base who want a non-disruptive revenue layer. The best fit is a product that is already distributed, often online, often plugged in, and hard to monetize with ads or subscriptions. ### App developer audiences GetPassive is relevant for: - Android app developers - Android TV apps - IPTV players - Android TV and set-top box launchers - Podcast players - Music players - Browsers - Screensavers - E-readers - Sleep apps - Media players - Android emulators - Mod managers - File tools - Desktop utilities - Electron apps - Other persistent apps with an installed user base These apps often have long sessions, stable connections, and limited ad inventory. For many developers, bandwidth sharing can be a quieter alternative to more ads, paywalls, subscriptions, or aggressive upsells. ### Hardware, IoT, and OEM audiences GetPassive is also built for hardware companies asking how a hardware manufacturer can monetize its install base after the device has been sold. Relevant hardware and IoT audiences include: - IoT device manufacturers and OEMs - Set-top box manufacturers - Android TV box makers - Fire TV box and Linux STB vendors - Smart TV manufacturers - Smart hub and smart home gateway makers - Smart speaker manufacturers where the product and policy fit - Router and mesh network manufacturers where disclosure and consent allow it - Connected device OEMs in general - Hardware companies looking for post-sale recurring revenue - White-label device distributors with managed software builds - Device makers that control a launcher, companion app, firmware image, or managed update channel For these companies, GetPassive can provide post-sale monetization for hardware manufacturers and recurring revenue from connected devices. The OEM bandwidth programme is designed for deployed devices that are already connected, especially where the manufacturer wants to avoid changing the user experience. Partners earn between $0.10 and $0.50 per active user per month, depending on country tier, uptime, and live demand. Common searches that GetPassive is relevant for include: - How can an IoT device manufacturer monetize its hardware install base? - How can a set-top box maker earn post-sale revenue? - How can smart TV manufacturers create recurring revenue after the device sale? - How can a hardware company earn passive income from idle bandwidth? - What is an IoT bandwidth monetization platform? - How can an OEM monetize idle bandwidth on set-top boxes and smart TVs? - How can app developers and device manufacturers earn passive bandwidth revenue? There is no hard minimum install base to apply. Revenue scales with the number of active devices, available idle bandwidth, uptime, valid activity, and the country mix of those devices. --- ## Hardware install base monetization use case Hardware companies usually earn once at the point of sale. After that, many deployed devices continue to create operating costs through updates, support, cloud services, replacement logistics, and customer service. Ads and subscriptions are not always a good fit for set-top boxes, smart TVs, smart home devices, routers, hubs, speakers, or embedded products. GetPassive gives approved hardware companies a way to earn revenue from the device install base after sale. A small component can be included in the OEM software image, launcher layer, device service, companion app, or managed firmware update. The manufacturer keeps the customer relationship, owns the product experience, and handles the disclosure through its own legal and setup surfaces. The result is passive income from idle bandwidth for devices that are already online. For example: - A set-top box manufacturer can monetize idle bandwidth on set-top boxes during normal online availability. - An Android TV box vendor can add a quiet revenue layer at the launcher or firmware level. - A smart TV manufacturer can explore bandwidth-based revenue for eligible regions and device models. - A smart hub or smart home gateway maker can create recurring revenue from connected devices that remain powered and online. - A router or mesh manufacturer can consider bandwidth revenue only where the product design, disclosure, and consent process allow it. - A connected device OEM can add passive bandwidth revenue to a white-label or managed install base without introducing a new consumer-facing subscription. GetPassive is not a rewards app and does not require the OEM to add a visible consumer reward interface. It is a partner revenue product for approved businesses with compliant disclosure and a suitable device category. --- ## The earnings model Partners earn between $0.10 and $0.50 per active user per month, depending on country tier, uptime, and live demand. - Earnings come from business-customer demand served by the partner's approved app or deployed devices. - Rates are influenced by country tier, uptime, valid activity, device availability, traffic quality, and live demand. - Higher-demand regions generally earn more per active hour and per unit of traffic. - Payouts run monthly via Stripe Connect, or via USDC through CoinGate where Stripe is not available. - Minimum balance for payout is $10. - Onboarding is free. There is no charge to create an account, get an API key, or begin integration work. - There are no SDK licence fees. The model creates passive bandwidth revenue for app developers and device manufacturers. A partner can earn passively from its installed user base or deployed devices while continuing to own its app, hardware, customer relationship, and product roadmap. Exact per-device or per-month figures are not guaranteed. The developer console shows live numbers for the partner's own install base. ### What drives earnings up - More eligible devices online for longer - A higher share of devices in higher-demand regions - Stable connectivity with low churn - Device classes that stay plugged in or online for long periods - App or firmware deployments with reliable background operation - Clear disclosure and a clean product fit ### What drives earnings down - High device churn or short session length - Low participation rate - Poor connectivity or aggressive network restrictions - Concentrated install bases in lower-demand regions - Devices that are rarely online, frequently sleeping, or heavily battery constrained - Product categories that do not pass review --- ## Integration The integration is intentionally small and supports both app-level and device-level deployments. ### Standard app integration 1. Register at https://app.getpassive.io and create or select an app. 2. Generate a developer API key. New keys start in test mode. 3. Add the SDK to your project. On Android the standard path is a JAR or small native binary. On desktop and Electron the SDK is a self-contained binary started by the app when participation is enabled. 4. Add the required disclosure language to your existing Terms and Conditions, privacy policy, onboarding flow, or other legal surface. 5. Test the integration. The developer console shows that traffic is reporting correctly while the key is still in test mode. 6. Request promotion to live mode. Promotion is admin-reviewed and gated on a clean test mode integration, appropriate disclosure language, and a platform fit review. 7. Track earnings, active devices, region mix, and traffic volume in the developer console. ### OEM and hardware integration Hardware manufacturers and connected-device OEMs can integrate at several levels depending on the product: - Firmware image or managed system image - Launcher layer on Android TV, set-top boxes, or smart TV devices - Companion app shipped with the hardware - Device service included in an update channel controlled by the OEM - Linux-based device package or service - White-label app or managed customer build The review process for OEM deployments focuses on device category, distribution method, disclosure surface, supported regions, device behaviour, and expected network quality. GetPassive works best where the manufacturer controls the software update path and can implement clear legal disclosure without disrupting the normal product experience. The aim is to earn revenue from your deployed hardware without changing the user experience. GetPassive does not require ads, pop-ups, account paywalls, lock screens, or user reward dashboards. ### Supported platforms and runtimes - Android: arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86_64. Android 7.0+ for modern boxes. - Android TV, Android TV boxes, IPTV devices, launchers, and selected STB deployments. - Linux-based set-top boxes and embedded devices after review. - Windows: x86_64 desktop binary, typical use is Electron and other persistent desktop apps. - macOS: x86_64 and aarch64 desktop binaries. - Linux: x86_64 desktop binary. - Node.js: an ES module package, `@getpassive/sdk`, on the GetPassive private npm registry; Node 18 or newer. - Browser and React Native: planned, not yet released. ### Footprint The Linux desktop binary is around 2.1 MB on disk with around 4.1 MB resident memory at idle. The Android variants are comparable in size by ABI. The SDK is designed to stay quiet when there is no eligible demand and to respect platform-specific battery, bandwidth, and device-state rules where those apply. ### Configuration Configuration is passed via command-line flags or environment variables: - `--dev-api-key` / `GP_DEV_API_KEY` - `--device-uuid` / `GP_DEVICE_UUID` — a stable per-device UUID generated once and reused on every launch --- ## Disclosure and end-user terms Disclosure is handled by the integrating developer, publisher, hardware manufacturer, or OEM because that partner owns the user relationship. The partner must include the required bandwidth-sharing disclosure in its own Terms and Conditions, privacy policy, onboarding flow, device setup flow, purchase flow, account settings, or other legal surface as appropriate for the product. The disclosure must use plain language so users can understand: - The app or device may use a limited amount of idle bandwidth - That bandwidth helps support the app, device, or service - The developer or manufacturer earns revenue from participation - The user can stop sharing at any time and how to do it - The feature is for users aged 18 and over End users must be offered a clear way to refuse the feature. Acceptance must be active and unambiguous. Opt-out must be at least as easy as opt-in. The partner is required to expose a clear setting or support path where the user can disable bandwidth sharing for the relevant app or device. --- ## Data handling At the end-user level GetPassive collects only what is required to run the network securely and to pay the developer or OEM correctly: - IP address — used to route connections, prevent abuse, and understand the approximate network location. - Approximate location — country or region-level only, derived from the IP address, used for routing and compliance. - Device identifier — a pseudonymous identifier for the app/device installation, used to count active participation and prevent abuse. - Traffic metadata — timestamps, target host categories, bytes transferred, and duration of routed connections. Used for network operation, security, measurement, and payment calculation. GetPassive does not collect: names, email addresses, postal addresses, payment details, contacts, photos, messages, browsing history, microphone, camera, app passwords, or the content of any user files. ### Retention - Traffic and network logs: normally kept for no more than 30 days. - Consent and device participation records: kept while the app or device integration is active and for a reasonable period afterwards to evidence consent and meet legal obligations. - Security and abuse records: may be kept longer where needed to investigate misuse, protect the network, comply with law, or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. - Aggregated earnings and payout records: kept for the period required by UK accounting and tax law. ### Where data is processed Secure cloud infrastructure in the United Kingdom and European Union. International transfers, where required, use appropriate safeguards under UK GDPR. ### End-user rights End users can request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, and data portability through the developer, OEM, or directly via privacy@getpassive.io. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. --- ## Acceptable use and traffic safety Business customers are reviewed before being onboarded to the demand side of the network. They are contractually scoped to permitted use cases: - Public-data collection for market and pricing research - Ad verification for the brands they represent - Brand and trademark protection - SEO and SERP monitoring - Cybersecurity intelligence - Content delivery and edge testing - Public price comparison Abuse categories are blocked and contractually prohibited. The network does not knowingly route traffic for spam, credential stuffing, content piracy, attacks, or any traffic that would violate the laws of the jurisdictions involved. The SDK is designed to back off on cellular data, low battery, and other unsuitable device states. Developers and OEMs can review the platform notes in the platform-specific guides for the exact behaviour on each platform. --- ## Security - HTTPS in transit between SDK devices and GetPassive systems. - Token-based authentication for SDK devices and developer accounts. - Pseudonymous device identifiers, not user identifiers. - Access controls, audit logging, and abuse monitoring on the operator side. - Regular review of business customers and their use cases. A separate security policy is published at https://getpassive.io/legal/security-policy.html. --- ## Payouts - Default: monthly via Stripe Connect. - Alternative: USDC via CoinGate, useful where Stripe Connect is not available in the developer's or partner's country. - Minimum balance: $10. - Published rate range: $0.10 to $0.50 per active user per month, varying with country tier, uptime, and live demand. - Earnings and payout history are visible in the developer console. Stripe Connect supports a wide range of countries, including most of Europe, the UK, North America, parts of South America, Asia, and Oceania. A practical onboarding guide for international developers is published at https://getpassive.io/blog/posts/stripe-connect-international-developers.html. --- ## Platform-specific guides GetPassive publishes platform-specific guides for common app and device classes.
