EMF Detector — Privacy Policy

Information We Collect and Use

While you use our services, we do not collect or use any personal information except when you contact us using your email, name, and query to report a bug or suggest improvements. The information provided will only be used to contact you back for further assistance and will not be used for any other purpose.

To operate the app, show ads, and understand how the app is used, the following information is collected automatically through the services built into the app: general usage data such as screens viewed and features used (app interactions), crash logs and diagnostic information, your device's Advertising ID and similar device identifiers, and your IP address, which advertising partners may use to estimate the general (approximate) location of your device. If you purchase a subscription or one-time upgrade, your purchase history is processed by our subscription provider (RevenueCat) so your purchases can be recognized and restored. We never collect your name, email address, contacts, or account information through the app itself.

This application uses third-party services which may collect some personally identifiable and non-personal information. You should also read their privacy policies and terms of service:

• Google Play Services
• AdMob
• Meta Audience Network (ad mediation partner served through AdMob)
• Google Analytics for Firebase
• Firebase Crashlytics
• RevenueCat (subscription and purchase management)

Log Data

Whenever you use our services, we collect data and information (using third-party services) in cases of crashes in the application. This Log Data may include your device's IP address, operating system version and name, device name, the app configuration when using our services, the time and date of usage, and other statistical information to help identify issues.

Service Providers

We may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our services, provide services on our behalf, and assist us in analyzing usage. These third parties have access to your personal information to perform tasks on our behalf but are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

Security

We value the trust of our users and strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Distribution

This app is officially available only through Google Play Store. Any other distribution channel is not official and is not maintained by the developer. This privacy policy is effective only for the distribution listed above.

Links to Other Sites

This app may link to external sites in the form of ads. These external sites are not operated by us. We encourage you to review their privacy policies. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for external websites.

Microphone and Audio Data

Our application requests access to your device's microphone to enable core features such as the Sound Meter and the EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) Recorder.

• Data Processing: All audio captured by the microphone is processed and stored entirely locally on your device.
• No Data Collection: We do not transmit, upload, store on our servers, or share your audio recordings or voice data with any third parties. The microphone is only active when you explicitly use these specific features.

Background Monitoring and Notifications

To provide continuous EMF and magnetic field detection, our app may utilize Foreground Services. This allows the app to monitor sensor data even when it is minimized.

• If dangerous fluctuations are detected, the app will send you a local alert.
• This background processing relies strictly on your device's local sensors, and no location or tracking data is transmitted to our servers during this process.

Advertising ID and Third-Party Services

Our app uses third-party services, including Google AdMob, to display advertisements. AdMob may use mediation to fill ad space with partner ad networks, including Meta Audience Network; when a partner network serves an ad, it may collect and process data (such as your Advertising ID and IP address) under its own privacy policy. To provide these ads, the app requests the Android Advertising ID.

• Usage: This ID is used by advertising networks to serve personalized and non-personalized ads, prevent fraud, and provide analytics on ad performance.
• Opt-Out: You can manage or reset your Advertising ID, or opt out of personalized ads entirely, through your Android device's system settings (Settings > Google > Ads).
• Consent: In regions where consent is required, the app shows a consent form (Google's User Messaging Platform) before serving personalized ads. You can change your choice at any time from the app's Settings via "Manage Consent".

Subscriptions and Purchases

The app offers optional premium subscriptions and a one-time upgrade, processed through Google Play Billing. We use RevenueCat, a subscription management service, to validate purchases and unlock premium features on your device. For this purpose, your purchase history and an anonymous app-scoped identifier are processed by RevenueCat on our behalf. No payment card details are ever visible to us or to RevenueCat — payments are handled entirely by Google Play. Purchases are optional; the app is fully usable without one.

Camera Data (Hidden Camera Detector)

The premium Hidden Camera Detector feature includes an IR Lens Scan mode that uses your device's rear camera to help you look for small bright reflections in a dark room.

• On-device only: Camera frames are analyzed in your device's memory in real time. They are never saved to your device's storage, never uploaded to any server, and never shared with anyone. No photos or videos are taken by this feature.
• Your control: The camera is only active while you are inside the IR Lens Scan mode, and only after you grant the camera permission. You can revoke this permission at any time in your device settings; the feature's Magnetic Sweep mode works without any camera access.

Device Sensors

The app's detection tools read your device's built-in sensors — the magnetometer (EMF and metal detection, Ghost Radar, magnetic sweep), the accelerometer (Presence Meter vibrations), and the rotation/orientation sensor (Ghost Radar compass). All sensor readings are processed locally on your device. Optional session recordings you create (for example EVP audio or Presence Meter sessions) are stored only on your device and leave it only if you yourself choose to share or export them.

Permissions This App Uses

• android.permission.INTERNET — Required to display ads to the user.
• android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO — Required for the Sound Meter and EVP Recorder features. Audio is processed completely offline and locally.
• android.permission.CAMERA — Required only for the Hidden Camera Detector's IR Lens Scan mode. Frames are analyzed on-device in real time and are never stored or transmitted. The app installs and runs on devices without a camera.
• android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE & FOREGROUND_SERVICE_SPECIAL_USE — Required to detect EMF and magnetic fields continuously in the background.
• android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS — Required to send local push alerts when high EMF fluctuations are detected.
• android.permission.VIBRATE — Required to provide haptic feedback during alerts or UI interactions.
• com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID — Required by advertising networks to serve advertisements, prevent fraud, and provide analytics.

Children's Privacy

These services do not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided personal information, we will immediately delete it. If you are a parent or guardian and become aware your child has provided personal information, please contact us.
