Privacy Policy
Welcome to the "Find My Phone - Phone Finder" app ("we," "us," or "our"). Your privacy is very important to us, and we are committed to keeping your personal information safe. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it. Please read it carefully so you understand how our app works.
When you use our app, we collect certain information to help you find your lost phone and improve our services. Below are the types of information we collect:
Location Information
We collect location data to help track your lost phone. This includes:
Precise Location (GPS-based location tracking) – This allows the app to find the exact location of your lost phone using GPS.
Approximate Location – This helps detect your phone's general area when GPS is not available.
Device Information
We collect information about your device to provide better tracking and improve app performance. This includes:
Your device type (e.g., phone model and operating system).
Network information (such as Wi-Fi and mobile network status).
Unique device identifiers to recognize your phone.
Audio & Notification Data
We collect audio input if you enable the alarm sound feature to help locate your lost phone.
We access notification settings to send alerts about the lost phone’s location and status.
To make the app work properly, we need certain permissions. Below is a detailed explanation of each permission and why it is needed:
