Privacy Policy

At ScamCheck Pro, your privacy is our highest priority. We built our technology with a "local-first" philosophy, meaning your sensitive data stays on your device. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

To ensure your absolute privacy, ScamCheck Pro is designed to function without transmitting your personal communications to our servers. We do not collect, store, or transmit:

• The content of your SMS messages, emails, or private chats.
• Your contacts or address book.
• Your browsing history or the specific URLs you visit (unless explicitly reported by you).
• Photos, files, or documents stored on your device.

2. Information We Collect

We only collect the minimum amount of data necessary to provide and improve our services:

• Account Information: If you create an account, we collect your email address and basic profile information (e.g., via Google Sign-In).
• Usage Metrics: Anonymous, aggregated data about app usage (e.g., number of scans performed, app crash reports) to help us improve performance.
• User-Reported Scams: If you actively choose to report a scam to our global database, we collect the specific information you submit (e.g., the malicious URL or phone number). This is entirely opt-in.

3. How We Use Your Information

The limited information we collect is used solely for the following purposes:

• To manage your account and subscription status (e.g., tracking scan counts for free tier users via Firebase).
• To provide customer support and respond to your inquiries.
• To maintain and improve the ScamCheck Pro application.
• To update our global threat database (only using explicitly reported, anonymized threat data).

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your account information. Data transmitted between your device and our servers (such as account authentication) is encrypted using TLS/SSL. Our backend infrastructure utilizes secure, enterprise-grade cloud services (Firebase/Firestore) with strict access controls.

5. Third-Party Services

ScamCheck Pro uses third-party services for specific functionalities, such as Google Sign-In for authentication and Firebase for account management. These services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
