Google Sign-In Authentication and Location Tracking

In addition to the information outlined in our existing Privacy Policy, we would like to inform you about the following:

1. Google Sign-In Authentication:

- Our Anti Theft Alarm: Find my Phone app offers the option to use Google Sign-In for enhanced security and seamless synchronization with your Google account. When you choose to sign in with your Google account, we collect and securely store a unique identifier provided by Google to authenticate your access. This not only strengthens the security of your account but also ensures that only authorized users can access specific features of the app. Additionally, in the unfortunate event of a lost or stolen phone, using Google Sign-In allows the app to sync intruder pictures and location data with your Google Drive, enabling you to view potential intruders and track your phone's location.

2. Location Tracking:
   - Our app includes a feature that allows you to remotely track the location of your device if it is lost or stolen. To enable this functionality, the app may access your device's GPS and network location data. This location information is sent to our servers using secure, encrypted connections and is associated with your authenticated Google account.

3. Use of Location Data:
   - The location data collected by our app is used solely for the purpose of helping you locate your lost device. We do not share this data with any third parties, except as required by law or as described in this Privacy Policy.

4. Security Measures:
   - We take the security of your information seriously. We implement commercially acceptable security measures to protect your Personal Information, including the data collected during the location tracking process. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Information Collection and Use
For a better experience, while using our Service, I may require you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information. The information that I request will be retained on your device and is not collected by me in any way.
The app does use third-party services that may collect information used to identify you.
