Privacy Policy - App Lock: Biometric & Pattern

This privacy policy applies to the App Lock: Biometric & Pattern mobile application (herein referred to as "the Application") created by finecoder. This Application is designed to provide security and privacy protection for your mobile applications.

1. Information Collection and Use

The Application is built with a "Privacy First" approach. We do not collect, store, or transmit your personal data, patterns, or biometric information to any external servers. All security-related data remains strictly on your local device.

2. Permissions and Data Handling

To provide its core security features, the Application requires specific permissions. Here is how we handle the data from these permissions:

Usage Stats (PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS): Used solely to detect when a locked application is brought to the foreground. This data is processed in real-time on your device and is never stored or shared.

Camera Access: Used exclusively for the "Intruder Selfie" feature. When a failed unlock attempt occurs, the Application snaps a photo using the front camera. These photos are saved locally in your device's storage and are accessible only to you through the Application's Intruder Gallery.

Biometric/Fingerprint: The Application uses Android's official Biometric APIs. We do not have access to your actual fingerprint or face data; we only receive a "success" or "failure" result from the secure Android system.

3. Third-Party Services

The Application uses third-party services that may collect information used to identify you. These include:

4. Data Security

Your master security pattern is encrypted and stored locally using Jetpack DataStore. We value your trust in providing us these permissions, thus we strive to use commercially acceptable means of protecting your local data.

5. Children�s Privacy

The Application does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
