This policy covers the Anti Theft Alarm app for Android, published by AppBurst (Appsplosion GbR). Contact: appsplosion.help@gmail.com.
Short version
The alarm itself runs entirely on your phone: sensor readings and your PIN never leave the device. Anti Theft Alarm is free and shows ads through Google AdMob (a banner and optional rewarded videos) and uses Google Analytics for Firebase to see how the app is used. Google and its ad partners may collect device identifiers and usage data for these purposes, as described below. Where the law requires it, you are asked for consent first.
What the app does on your device
While you have protection turned on, the app reads the motion sensor (accelerometer), the proximity sensor or the charger connection, depending on the mode you chose, to notice when your phone is moved, taken out of a pocket or unplugged. These readings are processed on the device in real time and are never saved or sent anywhere. When the alarm goes off, the app plays a siren it generates on the device, raises the alarm volume, and can flash the flashlight and vibrate. It restores the alarm volume when you stop the alarm.
The app does not take photos and does not use the microphone, your location permission, your contacts, your files or your photos.
Your PIN and settings
The PIN you choose is stored on your device only as a one-way hash, never in plain text. Your settings (mode, alarm sound, activation delay, sensitivity, flashlight and vibration options, and which features you unlocked) are stored only on your device and may be included in Android's own device backup, which Google handles under your Google account settings.
Notifications
While protection is on, Android shows a notification so the app can keep running in the background. The app asks for permission to show notifications; you can refuse, and protection still works.
Analytics
From version 1.0.1, Anti Theft Alarm uses Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how the app is used, for example which protection mode is started, whether an alarm was triggered and how it was stopped (PIN or screen unlock, without the PIN itself), which alarm sound and settings are chosen, which screen is open and whether a rewarded video was watched. Firebase also records an app instance ID, device and app information (such as model, Android version, app version and language), approximate location derived from the IP address, and session and crash diagnostics. We never send your PIN, sensor readings or other content. Where the law requires consent (EEA, UK, Switzerland), analytics storage stays off until you agree in Google's consent form, and you can change your choice later under Settings, “Privacy choices”. Google processes this data as described in Privacy and Security in Firebase; analytics data is kept for up to 14 months.
Advertising
Anti Theft Alarm shows ads through Google AdMob: a banner at the bottom of the main screens and optional rewarded videos that you choose to watch to unlock Pocket mode, Charger mode or the extra alarm sounds for 24 hours. There are no full-screen ads you did not ask for, and no ads on the alarm or PIN screen. AdMob and its partners may collect and share approximate location, app interactions, the advertising ID or other device identifiers, crash logs and diagnostic information for advertising, analytics, fraud prevention and security. Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland), Google's consent form asks for your advertising choices before ads are requested; you can change them later under Settings, “Privacy choices”. See How Google uses information for advertising and Google's Privacy Policy.
Ratings
The app may show Google Play's in-app review sheet after you have used it a few times. Ratings and reviews are handled by Google Play under Google's terms; we do not receive data from that sheet beyond the public review itself.
Security and transfers
Ad and analytics data is sent to Google and its partners over encrypted connections and may be processed outside your country. We do not run servers for this app and do not receive your settings or your PIN.
Children
Anti Theft Alarm is not directed at children under 13 and does not ask anyone for personal information. If you believe personal information about a child has been sent to us, contact us so that we can investigate.
Deleting your data
Uninstalling the app or clearing its storage in Android settings deletes everything the app stored on your device, including your PIN. For ad and analytics data, use the privacy choices in the app or your device's ad settings, or contact Google.
Policy changes
We may update this policy as the app changes. The date above identifies the current version.
