Special Permission Required

MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

The application needs this permission to scan dangerous files in the user's storage folder (downloads, apk files, zip files, etc.) to detect and remove malware.

The user can scan the entire device memory and downloaded files to detect viruses and potential threats.

In the description and pictures provided the scanning step, in addition in the youtube video this step is clearly described.

This feature allows the app to detect scam calls and protect users from social engineering attacks via phone calls.

The call log scan is only performed when initiated by the user and is shown clearly in the screenshots and demo video. 

Use of VPNService API

Our application uses the Android VPNService API to create a local VPN on the user's device. This VPN operates entirely on-device and is not used to route traffic through any external or third-party servers.

The purpose of this local VPN is to provide specific functionalities such as:

• Monitoring network usage locally,

• Enhancing user privacy and security by preventing unauthorized connections,

• Enforcing local firewall rules or app-level network restrictions.

We do not collect, transmit, or analyze any personal data or network traffic beyond what is necessary for the app to function locally.

Users are clearly informed about the VPN feature when the app is launched, and the VPN connection is only initiated with the user’s explicit consent.

This implementation fully complies with Google Play’s policies regarding the use of VPNService, and no VPN data is shared with or sent to our servers or any third parties.
