VoltGuard is a local-first Android device information and diagnostic app. This policy explains what the app reads, what stays on your device, and what can leave your device only after an action you choose.
VoltGuard reads hardware, operating-system, battery, thermal, storage, memory, display, camera, sensor, network, Bluetooth, telephony, USB, and app-usage information exposed by Android. Diagnostic history, test results, preferences, local profile corrections, and generated reports are stored locally. VoltGuard does not use advertising identifiers and does not include advertising or third-party analytics SDKs.
Permissions are requested when needed for a feature. Camera and microphone access are used only for user-started hardware tests. Location or nearby-device permissions may be required by Android for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GNSS, or radio details. Notification, overlay, usage-access, and boot permissions support optional monitoring tools. Shizuku and root access are optional and clearly marked.
The app downloads signed device-catalog updates from VoltGuard's Supabase backend. If you choose to submit a device correction, VoltGuard shows a preview and requires explicit consent before sending Android build identity fields, your proposed specification correction, optional evidence URL, and notes. The submission payload excludes serial number, IMEI, phone number, advertising ID, SSID, precise location, installed-app list, and public or local IP address.
If you separately opt in to anonymous benchmark comparison, VoltGuard shows the exact upload preview before sending a catalog profile ID, Android SDK version, CPU-core and RAM buckets, app and benchmark versions, benchmark scores, duration, and an optional thermal-throttling result. The benchmark payload does not include serial number, IMEI, phone number, SSID, location, installed apps, or advertising ID. Raw benchmark rows are private, model-level results are returned only after a minimum cohort is reached, and each row is physically deleted no later than 180 days after upload by a daily database job. You can delete a result earlier from the submitting phone while its local deletion token remains available.
Like any internet service, hosting providers may temporarily process connection metadata such as an IP address for delivery, security, abuse prevention, and operational logs. VoltGuard does not add that address to a correction profile or benchmark result or use it for advertising. For benchmark abuse prevention, the service stores only a one-way, server-peppered rate-limit hash that expires with its short rate-limit window.
Google Play processes purchases for the optional lifetime Pro product. VoltGuard receives purchase state and token information needed to restore and acknowledge the entitlement. Google Play may also provide aggregated crash and performance information through Android Vitals under Google's policies.
VoltGuard does not sell personal information. Reviewed corrections may be incorporated into the public device catalog only after moderation; unreviewed submissions are never displayed as verified. Local data remains until you clear it or uninstall the app. Backend security logs follow the hosting provider's retention controls. Rejected or no-longer-needed submissions are deleted or anonymized during moderation.
You can deny optional permissions, avoid correction uploads, use privacy-safe reports, clear local history in the app, clear app storage in Android settings, or uninstall VoltGuard. For a correction deletion request, include the submission ID shown in VoltGuard when contacting support.
VoltGuard is a general-audience utility and is not designed to collect personal information from children. Correction submission is optional and contains a privacy preview.
