Privacy Policy

1. Nature of the Application

AppSpy is designed for Android developers, security researchers, and enthusiasts to inspect installed applications, analyze APK architectures (e.g. Flutter, React Native, Unity), audit permissions, calculate cryptographic hashes (SHA-1, SHA-256), and extract APK/APKS bundles for backup.

2. Permissions & Data Usage Disclosures

To provide its core diagnostic functions, AppSpy utilizes the following system capabilities:

• QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES (High-Risk Declaration): This permission is strictly required on Android 11+ (API 30+) to retrieve the list of installed applications on your device. Without querying installed packages, the App cannot perform its primary function of inspecting application frameworks, permissions, libraries, and signatures.
  Compliance Statement: Inventory data queried through this permission is processed exclusively in-memory on your physical device. It is never uploaded, shared, or transmitted to any external network or third party.
• Local Storage & APK Exporting: When you choose to export an APK, Split Bundle (.apks), or diagnostic report, AppSpy saves the file directly to your public Downloads/AppSpy directory using Android's standard Scoped Storage (MediaStore.Downloads) APIs. AppSpy does not request or require broad storage access (MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) and cannot access personal photos, videos, or documents.
• Public App Signatures & Certificate Fingerprints: AppSpy calculates public cryptographic fingerprints (SHA-1, SHA-256) of installed packages solely to verify package authenticity and detect signature tampering. This is a read-only mathematical calculation on public certificate data and contains no personal identity data.

3. Third-Party Services & Privacy

AppSpy prioritizes user privacy. All app package analysis, inspection, and diagnostic processing remain strictly on your local device. To ensure ongoing stability and support development, AppSpy integrates the following trusted Google services:

• Google AdMob: We use Google AdMob to display non-intrusive advertisements. AdMob may process non-sensitive device identifiers and coarse diagnostics in accordance with Google's Advertising Privacy Policy.
• Firebase Crashlytics: We use Firebase Crashlytics to monitor anonymous crash reports and application stability across diverse Android devices.

Strict Guarantee: Neither service is ever provided with your device's installed package inventory, app inspection results, or extracted files.

4. Children's Privacy (COPPA & Play Families Policy)

AppSpy is a developer and diagnostic utility intended for users aged 13 and older (or 18 and older depending on regional laws). We do not knowingly target, solicit, or collect information from children under the age of 13.

5. Data Retention & Deletion

Because AppSpy does not retain or store any user data on external servers or databases, there is no remote data to manage or delete. All temporary caches generated during deep scans are stored locally within the application sandbox and are completely wiped when you clear app data or uninstall the application.

6. Security

We take security seriously. By keeping all analysis and APK parsing strictly local on your device, your data is never exposed to intermediate transit vulnerabilities, unauthorized eavesdropping, or server breaches.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may occasionally update our Privacy Policy to reflect changes in Android OS requirements or Google Play Store developer policies. Any revisions will be published on this URL with an updated "Last Updated" date.
