Hidden Camera Detector & Spy

We integrate the following third-party services. Each has its own Privacy Policy that governs how they handle your data:

The App is free to use and is supported by advertising via Google AdMob and Meta Audience Network.

What Ad Networks May Collect

• Android Advertising ID (GAID) — a resettable pseudonymous device identifier
• General location (country/region level) derived from IP address
• Device information (model, OS version, screen size)
• App interaction events (ad impressions, clicks)

Personalized vs. Non-Personalized Ads

By default, ads may be personalized based on your interests. You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time:

• Android: Settings → Google → Ads → Delete Advertising ID (Android 12+) or Opt out of Ads Personalization
• Meta: Facebook app → Settings → Ads → Ad Preferences → Manage Data

Consent (GDPR / CCPA)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, or California, we display a consent dialog on first launch using Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP). You may choose to receive non-personalized ads. Your consent choice can be reset at any time within the app's settings.

We use Firebase (a Google platform) for the following purposes:

Firebase Analytics

Collects anonymized event data (e.g., which features are used, how long sessions last) to help us understand how the app is used and improve the user experience. No personally identifiable information is linked to these events. Data is retained for up to 14 months.

Firebase Crashlytics

Automatically captures crash reports when the app unexpectedly closes. Reports contain device metadata and a stack trace of the crash — no user content, no sensor data. This helps us fix bugs quickly.

Firebase Remote Config

Allows us to remotely adjust app behavior (such as ad display frequency or feature availability) without requiring an app update. It does not collect personal data.

We retain data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy:

• Sensor & camera data: Never stored — processed in real-time on-device only
• Wi-Fi scan data: Never stored — processed in real-time on-device only
• Firebase Analytics events: Retained for up to 14 months by Google
• Crashlytics reports: Retained for 90 days by Google
• Ad network data: Subject to each network's retention policy (typically 90 days to 2 years)
• Local app preferences: Stored on your device and deleted when you uninstall the app

The App is intended for users aged 13 years and older (or the minimum age required in your country). The App is not directed at children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us immediately at the email address listed in Section 11. We will delete such information promptly.

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

For EEA / UK Users (GDPR)

• Right to access: Request a copy of data we hold about you
• Right to erasure: Request deletion of your personal data
• Right to restrict processing: Object to certain uses of your data
• Right to data portability: Receive your data in a portable format
• Right to withdraw consent: Withdraw advertising consent at any time

For California Users (CCPA)

• Right to know: What personal information we collect and how it is used
• Right to delete: Request deletion of personal information
• Right to opt-out: Opt out of the "sale" of personal information (we do not sell personal data)
• Right to non-discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email in Section 11. We will respond within 30 days. Note that since we do not directly collect most personal data, we may need to direct you to the respective third-party service (Google, Meta) to fulfill certain requests.

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information:

• All data transmitted between the app and third-party services (Firebase, AdMob) is encrypted via HTTPS/TLS
• Sensor data (camera, magnetic, Wi-Fi) is processed entirely on-device and is never transmitted
• We use Firebase's built-in security rules to protect any configuration data
• We do not store sensitive user data on our own servers

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the App, our practices, or applicable laws. When we make significant changes, we will:

• Update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page
• Display an in-app notification on the next launch after the update

Your continued use of the App after any changes to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
