Privacy Policy

We collect the information needed to provide device protection, alarm, purchase, and support features. Depending on which features you use, this may include:

• Security settings: selected alarm sounds, feature preferences, arming state, sensitivity settings, onboarding state, premium state, and similar app preferences.
• Passcode information: your Guard passcode is stored on your device using the iOS Keychain. We do not receive or store your passcode on our servers.
• Biometric authentication result: if you enable Face ID or Touch ID to disarm the alarm, authentication is handled by Apple on your device. We receive only whether authentication succeeded or failed.
• Device signals: motion, proximity, battery, charging, audio level, and notification events used to trigger app features. These signals are used for app functionality and are not used for advertising profiling.
• Camera and microphone access: camera access may be used for security-related photo or flashlight features where available, and microphone access is used for sound-based detection such as Clap to Find when you enable it.
• Purchase information: Apple and RevenueCat may process subscription status, product identifiers, receipts, renewal state, entitlement state, anonymous app user identifiers, device details, and transaction metadata.
• Support information: if you contact us, we may receive your email address and the information you choose to include in your message.

We use information to:

• provide alarms, motion detection, charging alerts, battery alerts, clap detection, Apple Watch controls, Control Center controls, and other security features;
• save your preferences and keep the app working across launches;
• verify premium access, process purchases, manage subscriptions, and restore purchases;
• send local notifications you request or allow;
• debug crashes, improve reliability, prevent abuse, and respond to support requests;
• comply with legal, App Store, tax, accounting, and security obligations.

Many app settings are stored locally on your device through iOS storage such as UserDefaults, Keychain, and app group storage used by app extensions. Local data may remain on your device until you change settings, delete the data, or uninstall the app.

Face ID and Touch ID are handled by iOS. We do not receive your face scan, fingerprint, biometric template, or Apple Account credentials.

The app asks for sensitive permissions only when needed for app features:

The Service may use third-party tools and platform services to operate purchases, billing, subscriptions, diagnostics, analytics, hosting, support, or app distribution. These providers may process information under their own privacy policies.

• Apple App Store, StoreKit, iCloud, system notifications, and device frameworks: used for app distribution, purchase sheets, subscriptions, restores, refunds, device permissions, local notifications, Keychain, and biometric authentication. See Apple Privacy Policy.
• RevenueCat: used to manage subscriptions, purchase status, product offerings, entitlement state, and purchase restoration. See RevenueCat Privacy Policy.
• Analytics or crash reporting providers: if enabled in a current or future app version, these services may receive diagnostic data such as device model, operating system version, app version, crash logs, usage events, and performance data to improve reliability.
• Email and hosting providers: used to receive support requests and host public policy or support pages.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use camera, microphone, passcode, Face ID, Touch ID, or motion data for third-party advertising profiling.

If the app encounters an error, we or our service providers may collect diagnostic information such as device type, operating system version, app version, the time and date of the event, crash information, performance data, and other technical statistics. This information is used to maintain and improve the Service.

The mobile app does not use browser cookies directly. Policy pages, support pages, third-party links, App Store services, payment systems, analytics, or hosting providers may use cookies or similar technologies according to their own privacy policies.

We may share information with service providers that help operate the Service, process purchases, provide diagnostics, host pages, or respond to support. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, to prevent fraud or abuse, or in connection with a business transfer.

Service providers are authorized to use information only as needed to perform services for us, subject to their own legal obligations and policies.

Local app settings remain on your device until you change them, reset them, or delete the app. Purchase and subscription records may be retained by Apple, RevenueCat, and us as needed for entitlement verification, accounting, tax, fraud prevention, support, and legal compliance. Support emails may be retained as long as needed to resolve requests and maintain records.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, including Apple platform protections such as Keychain for passcode storage. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

The Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

You can control many privacy choices from iOS Settings and inside the app:

• disable camera, microphone, motion, Face ID, or notification permissions in iOS Settings;
• change security settings and alarm preferences in the app;
• manage or cancel subscriptions in Apple Account subscription settings;
• delete the app to remove locally stored app data, except data retained by Apple, RevenueCat, or other providers under their policies;
• contact us to request access, correction, deletion, or other privacy help where applicable by law.

The Service may contain links to third-party websites or services. We do not operate those sites and are not responsible for their content, privacy policies, or practices. Review their privacy policies before providing information to them.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will post the updated policy on this page and update the "Last Updated" date above. Continued use of the Service after a policy update means you accept the updated policy.
