The app may collect your device's location data at any time for many reasons. This data may get stored on your local device, emailed to you, or uploaded to your account. The primary purpose of gathering location data is for you to track your device when it becomes lost or stolen.
The app may gather your phone number. This is usually added to an email that is sent to you from a device. It helps you identify what device on your account is sending the email. We do not sell your phone number or share it with any third-parties.
The app may collect and upload your phones contacts and call log to your account. This is only done upon request from within your account. This data is encrypted before, during, and after being uploaded to your account. This data is never sold or shared with any third-parties. Only you can access this data from your account.
The app can read your incoming text messages. It does this for the purpose of being able to track your phone via a text from another cell phone. Your text messages are not stored within the app, nor are they ever uploaded to our servers. They are simply read and scanned for an attention word by the app's systems.
The app may take pictures with your phone's camera, either on-demand (when you request it) and when certain triggers happen (like failed screen lock attempts). These pictures are uploaded to our servers so you may view them via the special link sent to you. This link may be sent via text or email or within Commander. Pictures that are uploaded are deleted from our servers within 7 days. Pictures may be stored on your local device as well. These are never deleted by the app.
The app may use wifi data to help get a location, or upload the names of nearby wifi to your account.
The app may use your device's IP address in order to help get a location, or to record records of when and where your device communicated with our servers.
Every Android phone has a unique number used for targeted advertising. We may use this information to deliver you targeted ads based on your age, gender, location, etc.
All data is either stored locally on your device or on our secure web-servers. The primary purpose of collecting this information is to assist you in finding your lost phone.
We may share some of the information we gather with third-parties for the purpose of advertising. This may include your device's advertiser ID number, age, gender, and location. This infomation is used for targeted advertising. No other personal information is shared with third-parties, such as your name or email address. If you wish to opt-out of this information being shared please contact us at support@wheresmydroid.com or read more here. You'll still get ads, they just won't be target for you. Lets face it though, if your going to see ads, wouldn’t you rather see ads that are relevant? Maybe you'll see something you actually want. Please keep in mind that most of our revenue comes from advertising. Without it we couldn't support the app.
