Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 31, 2026

TrustPhone helps Android users identify warning signs in notifications, review installed apps, scan APK files, and understand phone permissions using information reported by Android itself.

We built TrustPhone on a simple principle: your phone data belongs to you. We only collect what is necessary to protect you, we tell you clearly what that is, and we give you full control over it.

What TrustPhone Does Today

In the current version of TrustPhone, all scam detection and security analysis runs locally on your device. Your notification content, app list, file contents, and usage data are not sent to TrustPhone servers.

What We May Add In The Future

To improve scam detection for all users, future versions of TrustPhone may optionally contribute anonymous threat signals to a shared intelligence network. If this feature is added:

It will be opt-in only — off by default
No notification text or message content will ever be sent
Only anonymous patterns will be shared such as urgency score, domain age, and sender type
No data that identifies you or your device will be included
You can turn it off at any time

What We Never Collect

Regardless of any future features, TrustPhone will never collect or share:

The actual text content of your notifications or messages
Your contacts or call history
Your precise location
Your name, email, or identity
Your financial information
Any data that identifies you personally

Local Storage

Warning history is stored encrypted on your device using Android Keystore AES-256 encryption.

Warning alerts automatically deleted after 7 days
Sender history deleted after 90 days
You can wipe all data at any time from app settings

Permissions We Use

Notification access (optional)
Used only to review notifications locally for warning signs. Notification content is never uploaded to any server.

Usage access (optional)
Used to show recently active apps on your device. Never uploaded.

Storage and media access (optional)
Used only when you choose to scan a specific file. File content is never uploaded.

App visibility
Used to review installed app sources and signals. Your app list is not uploaded.

Advertising

TrustPhone shows ads through Google AdMob for free users. AdMob may collect standard advertising identifiers as described in Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

You can remove all ads permanently through an in-app subscription or one-time purchase.

In-App Purchases

All purchases are handled by Google Play Billing. TrustPhone does not store your payment information.

Data Sharing

TrustPhone does not sell your data. The only third party that receives data from TrustPhone is Google AdMob for ad delivery to free users.

Children

TrustPhone is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
