Privacy Policy — VoiceShield: Voice Screen Lock
Last updated: August 5, 2026
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how Qzee Game (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and handles information in connection with the VoiceShield: Voice Lock Screen mobile application (the “App”). By downloading or using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy. Please read it carefully before use.
2. Information We Collect
VoiceShield is a voice security and AI productivity app. Given the sensitive nature of the permissions it uses, we have documented each data type precisely below:
A. Voice & Audio Data — Voice Lock and AI Notes
The App records audio through the device microphone for two distinct purposes: Voice Lock: Your voice signature is recorded during setup and used on-device to match unlock attempts. Voice lock audio is processed entirely on-device and is never uploaded to our servers. No voice biometric data is transmitted or stored externally.AI Voice Notes: When you record a voice note for transcription, summarization, or translation, the audio is transmitted to our AI service provider to generate the requested output. Recordings are not retained by us after the result is returned, and are not used to train AI models or shared for marketing purposes.
B. Camera Images — Voice Camera Assistant
The camera is used for the purposes: Voice Camera Assistant: Voice commands (Open Camera, Capture, Record, End Record, flash control) activate camera functions. Images and videos taken via voice commands are saved to your device’s standard gallery. No camera images or video are uploaded to our servers.
C. Lock Screen Overlay — Display Over Other Apps
The SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW permission is used exclusively to display the custom lock screen overlay over the system interface and other applications. This permission is used only to render visual lock screen elements. No screen content, user activity, or personal data is accessed, captured, or transmitted through this permission.
D. Phone State — Incoming Call Detection
READ_PHONE_STATE is used solely to detect when an incoming call is received, allowing the lock screen to temporarily dismiss itself for user convenience. The App does not collect, read, log, or store call logs, contact information, phone numbers, or any other phone state data.
E. Foreground Services
Three foreground services are used to keep security features active and responsive: Foreground Service — Microphone: Keeps the AI voice engine listening for your unlock command even when the app is in the background. The microphone is used only to detect your configured voice unlock phrase. No audio is recorded or transmitted in the background beyond detecting the unlock trigger.Foreground Service — Camera: Enables the Intruder Selfie feature to capture a photo when an incorrect unlock attempt occurs. Photos are stored locally on your device only.Foreground Service — Special Use: Keeps the lock screen always ready and responsive to voice commands. A persistent notification is displayed at all times while this service is active, giving you full visibility and the ability to stop it at any time. No personal data is collected or transmitted through this service.
F. Boot Persistence
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED is used to automatically restart the lock screen service after the device reboots, ensuring continuous protection. No personal data is collected via this permission.
G. App Performance Analytics
We use Firebase Analytics and Google Analytics to understand how the App is used in aggregate. This data is anonymized and is not linked to your identity.
H. Advertising Identifier & Device Information
We use the Android Advertising ID along with general device information to deliver relevant ads, measure ad performance, and help our advertising partners detect and prevent fraudulent activity. This is not linked to personally identifying information.
3. Log Data
When an error occurs in the App, we may collect diagnostic information through third-party tools, referred to as Log Data. This may include your device’s IP address, device name, operating system version, App configuration at the time of the error, the time and date of occurrence, and other related statistics. Log Data is used solely for debugging and improving App stability and is not linked to your identity.
4. Cookies
The App itself does not use cookies directly. However, some of our third-party advertising and analytics partners may use cookies and similar tracking technologies. You can review each partner’s practices through the privacy policy links in Section 5.
5. Third-Party SDKs Used in This App
VoiceShield uses the following third-party services to deliver ads, measure performance, and support core functionality. Each provider operates under its own privacy policy, linked below:
Note: this list reflects the SDKs currently integrated into VoiceShield. If we add other partners in the future, this section will be updated before that change takes effect.
6. Permissions Used by This App
VoiceShield requests the following Android permissions, each tied to a specific feature:

7. Service Providers

These service providers have access to information only as necessary to perform tasks on our behalf and are not permitted to use or disclose it for any other purpose.
