UnifyLock – Lock Apps & Guard respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our app.
We do not collect or store any personally identifiable information such as names, emails, phone numbers, or app usage behavior.
However, to function properly, UnifyLock may request access to certain system permissions:
Usage Access Permission: Needed to detect which apps are being launched so we can lock them accordingly.
Accessibility Permission: Used for enhanced locking features (optional).
Fingerprint/Authentication Permission: To allow unlocking with biometrics (data handled by system API only, not collected or stored).
⚠️ We do not store or transmit any PINs, Patterns, or Fingerprint data. All authentication data stays on your device and is secured by the Android system.
All permissions are used solely for app-locking functionality. We do not use them for analytics, advertising, or tracking.
We use the following third-party services to improve app functionality, monitor performance, and support our free version through advertising:
Firebase (by Google):
Used for crash reporting, app performance monitoring, and remote configuration. Firebase may collect anonymous data such as device type, operating system, crash logs, and general usage patterns. No personally identifiable information (PII) is collected by us.
Google AdMob:
Used to display in-app advertisements. AdMob may use your device's advertising ID to serve personalized ads based on your interests. You can opt out of ad personalization in your device settings.
Google Analytics for Firebase:
Helps us understand user interaction within the app to improve usability and experience. The data collected is anonymous and aggregated, and it does not include personal information like names or email addresses.
These services may collect data in accordance with their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them:
We do not share any user data directly with these services beyond what is automatically collected through their SDKs.
We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe your child has provided us personal data, please contact us.
We take your privacy seriously. All sensitive data such as PIN, Pattern, and Fingerprint usage is processed locally on your device and never leaves your phone.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Effective Date".
