Information We CollectAt GuardMe, we prioritize your privacy and do not track your online activities. The information we collect is limited to the technical details of your device necessary for app functionality and performance. Specifically, we gather:
- Device Information: This includes your device's operating system version, hardware model, and IP address.
- No Tracking of Online Activities: We do not collect or monitor your browsing history, traffic data, or DNS queries.
The data collected is used strictly to ensure the proper functioning of our service and to make improvements. Any statistics compiled are aggregated and anonymized, ensuring they are not traceable to individual users.
How We Use Your InformationThe information collected about your device and network connection helps us deliver and enhance our VPN service. This includes:
- Operational Purposes: To connect you to our VPN service, we need to know your device's IP address and the server it connects to.
- Service Improvement: We analyze how users interact with the app to resolve issues, improve performance, and ensure the service is reliable.
- Data Retention: We do not retain your IP address or connection data once you disconnect from the VPN. There is no storage of identifiable user data.
Sharing Your InformationWe are committed to maintaining your privacy. To this end:
- No Sale of Data: We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties.
- Third-Party Services: We use Firebase for analytical purposes only. This service helps us understand app usage but does not involve sharing personal data.
Data SecurityWhile we do not collect personal information, we still implement reasonable security measures to protect any data that might be handled within the app. Given that personal data is not collected, there is no specific data to secure beyond the app's functionality.
Children's PrivacyOur App is designed for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately so we can take appropriate action to delete the information.
Changes to This Privacy PolicyWe may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will post any updates on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Continued use of the App after such changes signifies your acceptance of the updated policy.
