This Privacy Policy describes how Hidden Device Detector collects, processes, uses, stores, and safeguards information when you use our mobile application. By accessing or using Hidden Device Detector, you acknowledge and agree to the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy.
Hidden Device Detector is a utility application designed to help users identify possible hidden electronic devices, cameras, audio recording equipment, magnetic signals, Bluetooth-enabled devices, and network-connected hardware using supported device sensors and hardware capabilities.
The app provides detection assistance based on the available sensors and signal reception of your device. Detection results may vary depending on environmental conditions, hardware limitations, interference, and signal strength. The app does not provide guaranteed detection results or replace professional security inspection services.
Depending on the features you use, Hidden Device Detector may request access to or process the following information:
a. Camera Access
Camera permission may be required to support visual scanning features, including identifying possible camera lenses, infrared reflections, or suspicious objects in the surroundings. Camera access is used only when a user activates camera-based detection features. We do not secretly capture images, record videos, perform facial recognition, or collect personal visual content.
b. Device Sensors
The application may use available device sensors, including the magnetometer, gyroscope, accelerometer, and compass, depending on hardware availability. Sensor information is processed to analyze magnetic field changes, device movements, orientation, and possible electronic signal activity. Sensor data is used only for app functionality and is never sold or used for unrelated advertising purposes.
c. Bluetooth and Nearby Devices
The app may request Bluetooth or Nearby Devices permission to identify active Bluetooth-enabled devices around you. This feature helps users detect nearby electronics such as wireless cameras, speakers, smart devices, or headphones. The application does not connect to, control, access, modify, or interfere with any external devices.
d. WiFi and Network Information
Where supported, the app may access Wi-Fi and network-related information to identify devices connected to your local network. This may include:
Network name (SSID)
Device name (if publicly available)
IP address
MAC address (where accessible)
Device category or type
Connection status
This information is used only to display network-connected devices and improve detection functionality.
e. Location Permission
Some Android versions require Location permission to perform Bluetooth or Wi-Fi scanning operations. If requested, this permission is used only to enable device scanning features required by the operating system. We do not continuously track your location or create location history profiles.
f. Device and App Information
We may collect limited technical information required for diagnostics and app improvement, including:
Device model
Operating system version
Application version
Device identifiers
Crash reports
Performance statistics
Technical diagnostic details
This information helps us improve application reliability, identify issues, resolve crashes, and optimize user experience.
g. Usage Data
We may collect limited usage information, including:
Features used within the application
Scan activity
User interactions
Detection feature usage
Error reports
Session information
This data helps us understand application performance, improve features, and provide a better user experience.
h. Advertising Data
If advertisements are displayed within the application, third-party advertising providers may collect or process information such as:
Advertising ID (GAID)
Approximate location
Device information
App interaction details
Advertisement engagement data
This information is used for displaying relevant advertisements, measuring advertising performance, preventing fraudulent activity, and improving advertising services.
The information we access or collect may be used to:
Provide hidden device detection features, including magnetic, optical, wireless, and network scanning tools.
Analyze magnetic field variations.
Detect nearby Bluetooth and wireless devices.
Identify devices connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Support camera-based detection functionality.
Improve application performance and detection accuracy.
Fix technical problems and application errors.
Respond to customer support requests.
Display and measure advertisements.
Manage premium features and subscription services.
Maintain application security and reliability.
Meet legal requirements and comply with Google Play policies.
Camera input and sensor information are processed in real time only to provide detection-related functionality. The application does not secretly record audio, videos, images, screen activity, or personal information.
We do not collect biometric information, facial recognition data, passwords, payment details, private files, or unrelated personal content. Detection results are provided as supportive tools based on available hardware signals and should not be considered a replacement for professional security equipment or services.
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi scanning features operate only when manually started by the user and after required permissions are granted.
The application does not access private files, messages, photos, microphones, passwords, or confidential information stored on detected devices. It does not hack, damage, control, modify, interrupt, or interfere with external devices, networks, services, or other applications.
We do not sell, trade, or misuse personal user information.
Limited technical information may be shared with trusted third-party service providers when necessary for application functionality, analytics, crash monitoring, advertisement delivery, image processing, payment verification, or legal compliance.
Third-party services may include, but are not limited to:
Google Play Services
Google AdMob or other advertising networks
Firebase Analytics
Firebase Crashlytics
These third-party providers process information according to their own privacy policies.
Hidden Device Detector may request the following permissions depending on the features you use:
Camera Permission: Used for camera-based detection features, including identifying possible hidden lenses and optical reflections.
Bluetooth / Nearby Devices Permission: Used to scan nearby wireless devices and display detected signals.
WiFi / Network Permission: Used to identify devices connected to the same network.
Location Permission: Required by some Android versions for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi scanning. This permission is not used for continuous location tracking.
Internet Permission: Required for advertisements, analytics, crash reporting, subscription verification, updates, and online features.
Notification Permission: Used for scan alerts, reminders, and important application notifications.
Users may deny or disable permissions at any time through device settings. However, certain application features may not function properly without required permissions.
We retain information only for as long as necessary to provide application services, improve functionality, meet legal requirements, prevent misuse, resolve disputes, and maintain security.
Detection history, scan records, and application settings are primarily stored locally on the user's device unless cloud-based features are introduced. Crash reports, analytics information, and diagnostic records may be retained for a reasonable period to improve application stability and security.
Hidden Device Detector is not designed for children below 13 years of age or the minimum legal age applicable in your region.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child has provided personal information without appropriate consent, we will take reasonable steps to remove such information.
If the application is offered to children or families in the future, additional child privacy protections and Google Play Families Policy requirements will be followed.
Your information may be processed, stored, or transferred through servers and infrastructure located outside your country of residence.
Because privacy laws may vary between countries, we take appropriate measures to protect user information and ensure that data handling remains consistent with this Privacy Policy.
We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, technology, legal requirements, or privacy practices.
Any updates will be published on this page with a revised effective date. Users are encouraged to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
