1 Introduction

Welcome to AI Truth Scanner: Lie Test ("the App", "we", "us", or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our Android application, and it applies to all users worldwide, including those in the European Economic Area (EEA) under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

By installing or using the App you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy. If you do not agree, please uninstall the App.

Effective Date: June 21, 2026  |  Last Updated: June 21, 2026

2 Data Controller

For users in the EEA, the data controller is the developer of AI Truth Scanner: Lie Test. You may contact us at the email address listed in the Contact section below.

ℹ️ Because the App does not collect personal data from you directly, the role of data controller is relevant primarily in the context of Google AdMob's advertising SDK, which operates under Google's own data controller and processor agreements.

3 App Permissions & How We Use Them

The App requests the following Android runtime permissions. We only request permissions that are strictly necessary for core features.

Permission Why it is needed Sent off-device?
CAMERA Captures a live video feed during a lie-detection session. Facial micro-expressions and visual cues are analysed entirely on-device in real time. Captured photos may be temporarily stored on the device for result visualization and sharing purposes. These images are never uploaded to our servers and remain on the user's device. Never
RECORD_AUDIO Records the subject's voice during a session. Audio waveforms and vocal patterns are analysed locally on-device. No audio recordings are retained after the session ends. Never
INTERNET Required solely for Google AdMob to load and display advertisements. No personal data collected by us is transmitted over this connection. Only via AdMob SDK (see §6)
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE Lets AdMob determine whether the device has an active internet connection before attempting to load an ad. Only via AdMob SDK
✅ Key commitment: Camera frames and audio recordings are processed locally on your device. Temporary files may be created during analysis or sharing workflows and are deleted automatically after use. They are never uploaded to our servers.

4 Data We Process

4.1 Camera & Visual Data

When you grant camera permission, the App accesses your device camera to capture a real-time video stream. This stream is fed into an on-device AI model that analyses facial expressions, eye movement, and other visual indicators. Captured photos may be temporarily stored on your device for result visualization and sharing. They are not uploaded to our servers and can be removed by clearing app data or uninstalling the app. Processing happens entirely within the App's runtime memory.

4.2 Microphone & Audio Data

When you grant microphone permission, the App records a brief audio clip during each session. The audio signal is analysed locally for vocal stress patterns and cadence variations. The raw audio buffer is held only while the analysis is in progress and is discarded immediately afterwards. Audio recordings may be temporarily stored on the device during processing and are deleted automatically after analysis.

4.3 Scan History (SharedPreferences)

After each session the App saves a summary result — such as a truth/stress percentage score and a timestamp — to Android SharedPreferences (local device storage). This data exists only on your device. It does not include raw camera frames, audio recordings, or any biometric data. You can clear this history at any time from within the App's settings or by clearing the App's data via your device settings.

4.4 Data We Do NOT Collect

5 Local Storage & Data Retention

The only persistent data the App stores is your scan history kept in SharedPreferences. This storage is:

⚠️ If your device has Google Backup enabled, Android may back up SharedPreferences data to your Google account. You can disable this for individual apps in your device's backup settings. We have no access to or control over this backup.

6 Advertising — Google AdMob

The App is free and is supported by advertising provided by Google AdMob (Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). AdMob is a third-party service and operates independently of us.

6.1 What AdMob May Collect

When an ad is displayed, the AdMob SDK may collect and process the following on Google's behalf:

6.3 Google's Privacy Policy

Google's data use is governed by Google's Privacy Policy and Google's EU User Consent Policy. For details on how Google uses data from apps that use their services, please refer to Google's official policies available at google.com/policies/privacy.

6.4 Opting Out of Personalised Ads

You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time by going to Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalisation on your Android device, or by resetting your Advertising ID.

📢 We do not share any personal data with Google AdMob ourselves. AdMob's SDK collects data independently when ads are loaded. We have no access to the data AdMob collects.

7 Third-Party SDKs & Services

The App currently integrates only the following third-party component:

We do not integrate any analytics SDKs (Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel, etc.), crash-reporting services, social SDKs, or any other third-party libraries that transmit data externally.

8 No Server-Side Processing

🛡️ We do not operate any backend server. The App does not make API calls to our servers for analysis. All AI inference — facial, vocal, and stress analysis — runs on your device using on-device machine-learning models bundled with the App. Your data never leaves your phone for processing purposes.

This design means there is no risk of your camera frames or audio clips being intercepted in transit, stored in a data centre, or accessed by our team.

9 Children's Privacy

The App is not directed at children under 13 years of age (or under 16 in EEA member states where a higher age applies). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has used the App, please contact us. Because we do not collect personal data on our servers, there is nothing for us to delete; however, we can advise on clearing locally stored data from the device.

10 Your Rights (GDPR & Global)

Because we do not collect or store personal data on our servers, most GDPR rights are exercised directly on your device. The table below explains how each right applies:

📋
Right of Access

All data is on your device — view scan history within the App at any time.

✏️
Right to Rectification

Edit or delete individual history entries directly inside the App.

🗑️
Right to Erasure

Clear App data via device settings or uninstall to erase all local data.

⏸️
Right to Restriction

Revoke camera/microphone permissions at any time via Android's app permission settings.

📦
Right to Portability

Scan summaries are stored in SharedPreferences. Contact us if you need an export.

🚫
Right to Object

Opt out of personalised ads at any time via Android's ad settings (see §6.4).

🤖
Automated Decisions

App results are for entertainment only — not used for any legal or binding decisions.

⚖️
Right to Complain

EEA users may lodge a complaint with their local data protection authority (e.g. ICO in the UK).

To exercise any right or contact us about privacy concerns, see the Contact section.

12 Data Security

We take the security of your information seriously:

No method of electronic storage is 100% secure. However, because we store minimal data locally and transmit none to our servers, the risk surface is extremely limited.

13 International Data Transfers

We do not transfer your personal data internationally, as we do not collect it on our servers. Google AdMob may transfer data internationally as part of Google's global infrastructure, subject to Google's own Standard Contractual Clauses and transfer mechanisms as described in Google's Privacy Policy.

14 Entertainment Disclaimer

⚠️ AI Truth Scanner: Lie Test is an entertainment application. The results produced are not scientifically validated lie-detection and must not be used for any consequential, legal, employment, medical, or investigative purpose. Do not use this App to make decisions that could harm any individual. Results are indicative and for entertainment purposes only.

15 Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where required by law, notify you through a notice within the App or on our Google Play Store listing.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
