This Privacy Policy explains how AriCare ("the app", "we", "us") handles information when you use it on your Android device.
AriCare processes all device diagnostics, file scans and hardware measurements locally on your device.
We do not collect, store, sell or share your personal data, and we do not transmit diagnostics, file scan results or hardware metrics to any server — ours or anyone else's.
AriCare has no user accounts, no analytics, no crash-reporting services and no advertising.
The only network communication is performed by Google Play services on your behalf: processing in-app purchases through Google Play Billing (see Section 6).
AriCare reads the information below only to show it to you or to run a test you started. It is held in memory while you use the relevant screen and is not uploaded.
Device information: model, Android version, hardware specifications, CPU, memory, display, camera and sensor capabilities, network and SIM details. Not stored.
Genuine Parts Auditor: display, sensor, battery, camera and boot-integrity information reported by Android. Stored only in the PDF you choose to export.
Battery (Power Guardian): battery level, current, voltage, temperature, health and capacity. Not stored.
Storage (Ghost Storage Engine): file names, sizes, dates and file contents (to detect duplicates by comparing content hashes). Not stored.
Hardware tests: touch input, button presses, sensor readings, microphone volume level and biometric pass/fail result. Stored only in the PDF you choose to export.
Privacy Shield and Apps: list of installed apps, their permissions, versions and components. Not stored.
GPS test: satellite signals and your current location. Not stored.
Floating monitor: battery, CPU, memory and signal readings. Not stored.
Microphone: the microphone test measures sound level only. Audio is never recorded, saved or transmitted.
Biometrics: the fingerprint test uses Android's system prompt. AriCare never receives, sees or stores fingerprint or face data; it only learns whether authentication succeeded.
Location: used only to display GPS satellites and your Wi-Fi network name on screen. It is never stored or sent anywhere.
All permissions are requested only when you open the feature that needs them. You can decline or revoke any of them in Android Settings; the rest of the app keeps working.
All files access (MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE): lets the Storage features find junk files (leftover APKs, temp/log files, empty folders) and large files anywhere in shared storage, and delete the ones you select. File contents are read on-device only to find duplicates. No file or file list leaves your device. App-private folders (Android/data, Android/obb) are never accessed.
Query all packages (QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES): lets Privacy Shield and Apps list every installed app with its permissions, so you can see which apps can use your camera, microphone or location, and manage, export or uninstall them. The app list is never transmitted.
Usage access (PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS): shows how much storage each app uses. We do not read your app usage history.
Photos, videos and audio (READ_MEDIA_*): duplicate and large media file finder.
Microphone (RECORD_AUDIO): microphone test (level only; nothing is recorded).
Location (ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION): GPS satellite test and Wi-Fi network name.
Phone (READ_PHONE_STATE): SIM, carrier and mobile network details on the Device Info screen.
Display over other apps (SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW) and foreground service: the optional floating monitor you switch on.
Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS): battery overheating alerts and the floating monitor's control notification.
Request package deletion (REQUEST_DELETE_PACKAGES): opens Android's uninstall dialog when you tap Uninstall. Android always asks you to confirm.
Biometric, vibration: fingerprint and vibration hardware tests.
Advertising ID (AD_ID): displays your device's advertising ID on the Device Info screen so you can see or reset it. AriCare does not use it for advertising, tracking or analytics, and never transmits it.
Internet, network state: required by Google Play Billing to process purchases (Section 6). AriCare itself sends no data over the internet.
The camera is used only for a live preview (nothing is saved) and Bluetooth only for a local scan.
PDF Health Certificate, exported APKs and app icons are saved to your device's Documents, Download or Pictures folders only when you tap Export.
Sharing happens only when you tap Share and pick an app. The content goes directly to that app under its own privacy policy. AriCare does not receive a copy.
Deleting files happens only after you select them and confirm. Android shows its own confirmation for media files.
AriCare stores only a few small local values (for example, the time of the last overheating alert, so alerts aren't repeated). Scan results and measurements are not saved after you leave a screen. To remove everything AriCare stores, clear the app's storage in Android Settings or uninstall the app. Files you exported stay on your device until you delete them.
AriCare Pro is sold through Google Play. Payments are processed entirely by Google under the Google Play Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy. We never receive your card details, name or email address. The app only receives confirmation from Google Play of which Pro products your Google account owns, and uses it on-device to unlock features. You can manage or cancel subscriptions in Google Play › Payments & subscriptions.
AriCare uses only these Google components:
Google Play Billing Library: in-app purchases (Section 6).
Google Play services, advertising ID client: reads the advertising ID on-device for display only.
AriCare contains no third-party analytics, advertising, tracking or crash-reporting SDKs.
We do not sell, rent, trade or share personal data with anyone, because we do not collect it.
Because your data stays on your device, it is protected by Android's own app sandbox and security features. Exported files are saved to shared storage, where other apps you grant storage access to may read them.
AriCare is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country) and does not knowingly collect any personal information from children.
Since we hold no personal data about you, there is nothing for us to access, correct or delete on our side. You stay in control on your device: revoke permissions in Android Settings, clear the app's data, or uninstall the app at any time. These rights apply whether you are in the EU/UK (GDPR), California (CCPA/CPRA), India (DPDP Act) or elsewhere.
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with an updated effective date. Significant changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
