Privacy Policy

PhoneShield

Last Updated: March 2026•Developer: SS Infotek Inc.

Your Data. Your Privacy. Your Control.

PhoneShield is built with privacy at its core. We (SS Infotek Inc.) have NO access to any of your data. PhoneShield does not collect, store, receive, or share any of your personal information — ever.

All data is processed and stored entirely on YOUR device. You are the sole owner and controller of your data.

OUR PRIVACY PROMISE

  • ✓ We (SS Infotek Inc.) have ZERO access to your data.
  • ✓ We do NOT have servers that store your information.
  • ✓ We do NOT collect, track, or monitor your activity.
  • ✓ We do NOT sell, share, or transmit your data to anyone.
  • ✓ We do NOT use analytics, ads, or tracking tools.
  • ✓ All processing happens on YOUR phone, offline.
  • ✓ You have complete control to view, delete, or export your data at any time.

Processed On Your Phone

  • Photos: Captures photos when someone fails to unlock. Stays on your phone.
  • GPS Location: Records the location of events. Stays on your phone.
  • Date & Time: Records event timestamps. Stays on your phone.
  • SIM Changes: Detects SIM changes if enabled. Never sent anywhere.

Processed Only If You Choose

  • Face Data: For Owner Identity recognition, your phone creates a numeric code from your face. It never leaves your phone.
  • Email Address: For email alerts. Stored on your phone only — PhoneShield never sends it to us.
  • Google Account: For cloud backup to YOUR personal Drive. We have no access.

Precise Location & Background Processing

PhoneShield captures Precise Location data in the background only when a security event (e.g., failed unlock attempt) is triggered. This background processing is essential to provide the user with the exact location of the security breach while the device is locked. This data is stored locally or in the user's private cloud and is never shared with SS Infotek or third parties.

Face Recognition & Biometric Data

  • • Your phone uses on-device AI to create a numeric code from a face. This code is a string of numbers — not a photo.
  • • Face data is NEVER uploaded to any server. It stays on your phone only.
  • • You can delete face data at any time by removing your Owner Identity.
  • • The AI model runs ENTIRELY on your phone — no internet connection is needed.
  • • Biometric data is securely destroyed immediately upon deletion of your Owner Identity or uninstallation.

Google API Service Disclosure

PhoneShield’s use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Service User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Google Drive:We only access your Google Drive 'App Data Folder' to back up intruder report PDFs when a security event occurs. We do not read, share, or sell any other files in your Google account.

Gmail OAuth Service: PhoneShield uses the Gmail API via OAuth to allow the app to send intrusion alert emails directly from your own Gmail account to yourself or a backup email address of your choice. PhoneShield does not use Gmail data to serve advertisements. This authentication is handled securely via Google OAuth. PhoneShield only sends these specific alerts; it does not read, store, share, or access any of your other emails or account data. No data is collected or transmitted to SS Infotek Inc. or any third parties.

How Your Data is Protected

Private Storage: All data is stored in your phone's private app storage. Other apps cannot access it.

Hidden Photos: Intruder photos are saved in an internal directory that is not visible in your phone's gallery.

Encrypted Transfer: If you use cloud backup or email alerts, data is transferred using Google's encrypted connection directly between your phone and your accounts.

Your Rights

You are in full control. Open the Log tab to view all events and photos. Swipe to delete individual logs, or uninstall the app to remove everything permanently. Delete your Owner Identity to eliminate face data from your phone.

How to Delete Your Data

1. In-App: Open the Log tab in PhoneShield, then swipe on any individual intruder log to permanently delete that entry, including its photos, location data, and timestamps.

2. Biometric Data: To delete your face recognition data, go to Settings → Owner Identity → Remove. This permanently destroys all stored face embeddings from your device.

3. Cloud Data: To remove data synced to your Google Drive, select 'Disconnect Cloud' in PhoneShield settings, or visit your Google Security Settings to revoke PhoneShield's access.

4. Uninstall: Uninstalling PhoneShield permanently deletes ALL locally stored data from your device, including intruder photos, event logs, and biometric data.

Note: SS Infotek Inc. does not have access to any of your data. Since all data is stored exclusively on your device or in your personal Google Drive, only you can delete it using the methods above.

Global Privacy Compliance

Because all data remains exclusively on your device, YOU are the sole Data Controller and Data Processor of your personal data. SS Infotek Inc. does not collect, receive, or process your data.

  • GDPR / UK GDPR compliant (Zero data collection removes processing requirements).
  • CCPA / CPRA compliant (We do not sell or share any personal information).
  • CalOPPA compliant (No targeted tracking).
