Privacy Policy for AGDM Root Checker
Welcome to AGDM Root Checker ("the App," "we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand what information the App analyzes, how it is used, and how your privacy is protected. Your privacy is our highest priority. The core principle of the App is that all analysis is performed locally on your device.
1. Information We Collect
The App is designed to function with maximum privacy. The data it accesses is categorized as follows:
- Technical Data Analyzed by the App: For its primary function, the App analyzes your device's technical configuration, including root status, system properties, bootloader state, SELinux status, and device integrity verdicts via the Google Play Integrity API. This analysis occurs exclusively on your device, and the results are shown only to you. We do not collect or store this information on any servers.
- Data Collected by Third-Party Advertisers (Free Version Only): The free version of our App may use third-party advertising partners who might collect data to serve ads. This data is collected and managed by them according to their own privacy policies.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
We are committed to your privacy. The App does not collect, store, or transmit any Personally Identifiable Information (PII). This includes, but is not limited to:
- Your name, email address, or phone number.
- Your contacts, photos, files, or calendar entries.
- Your precise (GPS) location.
3. How We Use Information
- To Provide Core Functionality: To display a comprehensive security report about your device directly to you within the App.
- To Display Advertisements: In the Free Version, advertising partners use collected data to serve relevant ads.
4. Advertising and User Choice
You can typically control or opt out of personalized advertising in your device settings. On most Android devices, you can do this by navigating to Settings -> Google -> Ads and enabling the "Opt out of Ads Personalization" option or resetting your advertising ID.
5. Data Storage and Transfer
- Storage: All scan results and history are stored locally in the App's private directory on your device.
- Transfer: We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer any data to third parties. The only exceptions are data collected by our advertising partners as described in Section 4, and data that you explicitly decide to share using the "Export" or "Share" functionality.
6. Third-Party Services
In addition to advertising partners, the App uses the Google Play Integrity API to assess the device's integrity. This process is governed by the Google Privacy Policy.
7. Permissions Used By This App
Beyond the core, always-local technical scan described in Sections 1-3, the App includes a small set of optional, manual, opt-in checks that read specific device data only when you choose to use them. None of this data is transmitted off your device or stored on any server:
- Approximate location (optional): Only if you explicitly enable this in Settings and tap "Show my location" on the Cyberactivity Map screen, the App reads the OS's last-known approximate (coarse, not GPS-precise) location to show a dot on that screen. It is read only at that moment, on your action, and is never transmitted or saved.
- Camera & microphone permission audit: The "Camera & microphone" screen lists which apps installed on your device currently hold the camera and/or microphone permission (a permission-grant snapshot, not a usage history). This requires the App to see your device's list of installed apps. The App itself does not use your camera or microphone for anything. The same screen also links directly to Android's own Privacy Dashboard, the only source for an actual usage history — that data is protected by the OS and no third-party app, including this one, can read it.
- Network signal check: The "Sudden network change" screen reads your current network generation (2G/3G/4G/5G) and signal level, only when you tap "Check network," to flag a sudden downgrade worth a second look. This requires phone-state permission. Only the single most recent reading is kept, to compare against your next manual check.
- App traffic: The "App traffic" screen shows how much Wi-Fi and mobile data other installed apps have used, broken down by app and date range, using Android's NetworkStatsManager. This requires the special "Usage Access" permission, which you must grant manually in system Settings. The App reads only data-volume totals per app — never the content sent, the addresses/domains visited, or any browsing history.
8. Children's Privacy
The App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy within the App and updating the "Effective Date."
