2 Step Authenticator (“we”, “our”, or “us”) values your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, share, and protect data when you use our iOS application. The app is designed to provide secure two-factor authentication (2FA) services, and we follow privacy-first principles to ensure your data remains protected. This policy is written in simple English so it is easy to understand.
2 Step Authenticator helps users secure their online accounts by generating time-based one-time passwords (OTP) for two-factor authentication. To provide these features safely and reliably, the app may process limited personal and technical information. This Privacy Policy explains what data is collected, why it is needed, how it is used, and what rights you have. By downloading or using the app, you agree to this Privacy Policy.
The data controller responsible for processing your personal data is the developer of 2 Step Authenticator.

We collect only the information necessary to operate the app and improve reliability. This may include technical information such as device type, operating system version, app version, IP address, language settings, and basic usage data. Authentication codes and account secrets added by the user are stored locally on the device and are not uploaded to our servers.
If you contact customer support, we may collect the information you provide, such as your email address and message content, only to respond to your request.
The information collected is used to provide authentication features, maintain app functionality, improve performance, detect and fix errors, analyze usage trends, and provide customer support. We do not use your data for unrelated purposes and do not sell personal information.
Camera Usage Description:
The camera is used only to scan QR codes when you add a new account for two-factor authentication. Camera access is optional, and you may manually enter codes instead. Camera data is not recorded, stored, or shared.
Photo Library Usage Description:
Photo Library access may be used if you choose to import a QR code image saved on your device. The app does not access your photos unless you explicitly allow it, and images are not uploaded or shared.
Tracking Usage Description:
If tracking permission is requested, it is used only to display relevant ads and measure ad performance. Tracking data is handled by advertising partners according to Apple’s App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework. You can allow or deny tracking at any time in your device settings.
We process personal data based on your consent when you grant permissions, the performance of a contract when providing app features or paid subscriptions, compliance with legal obligations, and our legitimate interests in maintaining app security, preventing fraud, and improving performance.
2 Step Authenticator uses trusted third-party services to support analytics, advertising, and app stability. These services may collect limited technical or usage data according to their own privacy policies.
Google AdMob is used to display advertisements in the app. AdMob may collect advertising identifiers, device information, IP address, and ad interaction data to deliver and measure ads. Users can control ad personalization through device settings. We do not sell personal data to advertisers.
Firebase Analytics is used to understand how users interact with the app, such as which features are used most often. The data collected is aggregated and anonymized and helps improve usability and performance.
Firebase Crashlytics is used to detect crashes and technical issues. It collects crash logs and device information to help us identify and fix problems quickly. This data is used only for app stability and reliability.
Google Analytics provides insights into general usage patterns and app performance. The data is anonymized and does not directly identify individual users.
Meta Audience Network may be used to display interest-based advertisements. This service may collect advertising identifiers and interaction data to personalize ads. Users can manage ad preferences through Meta and device settings.
We only integrate reputable third-party services and do not allow them to access more data than necessary.
2 Step Authenticator may offer optional subscriptions or in-app purchases that unlock premium features, such as cloud backup, enhanced security options, or an ad-free experience. Purchasing these features is optional, and users can continue using the basic version of the app without payment.
All payments are processed securely through Apple’s App Store In-App Purchase system. We do not collect, store, or have access to your payment information, such as credit card or banking details. Subscription prices, duration, and features are clearly shown before purchase.
Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period. You can manage or cancel subscriptions at any time through your Apple ID account settings. Deleting the app does not automatically cancel an active subscription. Refunds are handled by Apple according to App Store policies.
We may receive limited information from Apple, such as subscription status or purchase confirmation, only to manage access to premium features. Purchase data is not sold or shared with advertisers.
We retain data only for as long as necessary to provide app services and improve performance. Authentication data remains on your device unless you choose to delete it. Analytics and crash data may be retained for a limited period for diagnostic purposes. You may request deletion of support-related data at any time.
We do not sell your personal data. Data may be shared only with trusted service providers, such as analytics or advertising partners, or when required by law. Users have the right to know whether their data is shared and for what purpose.
You have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, restrict or object to certain processing, and withdraw consent where applicable. You can also manage permissions and tracking preferences through your iOS device settings.
2 Step Authenticator is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
We use reasonable and industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including secure storage, encryption where applicable, and access controls. However, no method of electronic storage is completely secure.
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect legal, technical, or feature changes. The “Last Updated” date indicates the most recent revision. Continued use of the app means you accept the updated policy.
