Privacy at a glance
- Precise location is optional and is used only for device-finding features you enable.
- When background location is enabled, the phone may collect and transmit location while the app is closed or not in use.
- We do not display third-party ads in the app, sell personal data, upload customer lists, or use app data to build remarketing audiences.
- You can delete your account and associated data from the app or by using our account deletion page.
1. Who we are and scope
The controller responsible for this Policy is MakeevApps s.r.o., IČO 24428582, DIČ CZ24428582, Kaprova 42/14, 110 00 Praha 1, Czech Republic ("MakeevApps", "we", "us", or "our").
This Policy applies to Find My: Phone, Watch, Earbuds (package
com.ua.makeev.antitheft), its Wear OS companion, and its web portal (together, the "Service").
Older versions and some screens may use the shortened or legacy name "Find My Phone" or "Find Device".
2. Data we handle
| Category and examples | Source | Purpose | Typical retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Account and profile. Firebase user ID, email address, name, profile photo URL, locale, sign-in provider, authentication tokens, and whether the account is anonymous or password-enabled. | You, Google Sign-In, and Firebase Authentication. | Create and secure an account, sign you in, synchronize devices and settings, and provide account support. | For the life of the account, then deleted as described in Section 7, unless a legal obligation requires limited retention. |
| Precise location. Latitude, longitude, activity type, timestamps, current or last-known device location, and location requests. | Your phone's location services after you grant permission and enable a location feature. | Locate or ring a configured phone through another device or the web portal, send the phone's position to a paired Wear OS watch, and save the last location when a selected Bluetooth connection is lost. | Server location history: up to 7 days, or earlier when an account registered with that device is deleted. Location requests: up to 1 day or until the related account is deleted. Current device state: until replaced, marked deleted, or an account registered with that device is deleted; an active device may upload a new current state afterward. Bluetooth disconnection locations are stored locally until you remove them or clear app data. |
| Device and technical data. Android ID, Firebase installation and messaging identifiers, FCM token, device name, model and hardware information, app version, IP address, battery and charging state, feature settings, timestamps, and technical error details. | Automatically from the app, device, network request, and our server. | Identify your registered devices, synchronize them, send service messages, operate finding features, protect accounts, prevent abuse, troubleshoot, and maintain the Service. | Error and login-error records: up to 7 days, including after account deletion where necessary for security, abuse prevention, and troubleshooting. Registered-device information and settings: for the account lifetime. An FCM token remains until replaced or until the device is no longer registered with any account. Provider backup deletion may take longer under the provider's documented lifecycle. |
| Bluetooth information processed on the device. Nearby or paired device name, Bluetooth address, manufacturer/type, connection state, and signal strength (RSSI). | Your phone's Bluetooth subsystem after you grant the applicable permission. | Display nearby devices, estimate proximity, trigger anti-loss features, and associate an optional last-known disconnection location with a device. | Scan results are transient. Saved devices and disconnection locations remain locally until removed or app data is cleared. Device names are not sent to Firebase Analytics. |
| Analytics and app interactions. Firebase app-instance ID, Android Advertising ID when available, screen views, button and feature events, settings state, permission state, offer views, app-rating events, sign-in/paid-user state, purchase events, Bluetooth device type and manufacturer category, and coarse RSSI ranges. | Automatically through Google Analytics for Firebase while you use the app. | Measure reliability and feature usage, diagnose user journeys, improve the Service, and measure or attribute the performance of MakeevApps' own Google Ads acquisition campaigns. We do not upload customer lists or use Analytics audiences for remarketing. | Event-level data is retained under the configured Firebase/Google Analytics retention setting, no longer than 14 months; aggregated reports may remain longer. |
| Crash and diagnostics data. Crash traces, application state, device and operating-system information, and related identifiers. | Automatically through Firebase Crashlytics when the app crashes or reports a handled technical error. | Find and fix crashes, performance failures, and defects. | Crashlytics event data is generally retained for 90 days under Firebase's published retention practices. |
| Purchases and subscriptions. Product ID, order ID, purchase token, purchase time and state, subscription expiry/renewal state, price, currency, country code, and Google Play verification data. | Google Play Billing and your purchase action. | Verify purchases, unlock paid features, restore access, prevent fraud, and provide billing support. We do not receive your payment-card number. | For the account lifetime, then deleted unless limited records must be retained for accounting, tax, fraud-prevention, or legal claims. |
| Support communications. Your email address, message, attachments, and any diagnostic information you choose to provide. | Directly from you. | Answer requests, investigate problems, and keep necessary records of the resolution. | For as long as reasonably necessary to resolve the request and establish or defend legal claims. |
Some information processed only on your device is not "collected" by MakeevApps. If you use the web portal or cross-device features, the data needed for that feature is transmitted to our server or between your phone and paired Wear OS device.
3. Background location
Find My: Phone, Watch, Earbuds collects and transmits precise location data to enable phone finding through the app or web portal, sends location to a paired Wear OS watch, and saves a selected Bluetooth device's last disconnection location, even when the app is closed or not in use.
Background location is optional. The app displays a prominent disclosure before requesting background access, and Android asks you to grant the permission separately. You can deny or revoke location access in Android Settings. Location-dependent features will then stop working or become less reliable; Bluetooth proximity search can continue where Android permits it without location access.
4. Purposes and legal bases
- Performance of a contract: providing accounts, synchronization, device finding, the web portal, subscriptions, and support you request.
- Your consent or affirmative choice: accessing precise/background location and other permission-protected device capabilities. You may withdraw permission at any time.
- Legitimate interests: limited product analytics, measurement of our own acquisition campaigns, fraud and abuse prevention, service security, crash diagnosis, and improvement of the Service, balanced against your rights.
- Legal obligations and claims: tax/accounting records, lawful requests, compliance, and establishing or defending legal claims.
We do not display third-party ads, send marketing newsletters, upload customer lists, or use account or location data for advertising. Limited Analytics identifiers and events may be used to measure and attribute MakeevApps' own Google Ads campaigns.
5. Service providers and disclosure
We disclose only the data necessary for the relevant purpose to:
- Google and Firebase: Firebase Authentication, Cloud Messaging, Analytics, Crashlytics, Google Sign-In, Google Maps/Location/Wearable services, Google Play Billing, and Google Ads campaign measurement.
- Our hosting and infrastructure providers: to operate the MakeevApps server and web portal.
- Professional advisers and authorities: when necessary to comply with law, protect rights and security, or establish and defend legal claims.
- A prospective or actual successor or transaction adviser: where reasonably necessary in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, financing, insolvency, or transfer of all or part of our business or assets, subject to confidentiality obligations and applicable law.
We do not sell personal data. We do not share personal data for cross-context behavioral or targeted advertising. We do not provide personal data to data brokers. Transfers to service providers are limited to operating and protecting the Service under their applicable terms and data-protection obligations.
6. International transfers
MakeevApps is established in the Czech Republic, but Google/Firebase and infrastructure providers may process data in other countries, including the United States. Where required, transfers rely on an adequacy decision, Standard Contractual Clauses, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, or another lawful safeguard. See Firebase privacy and security information for details about Firebase processing locations and safeguards.
7. Retention and deletion
We keep data only for the periods described in Section 2 or as needed for the stated purpose. We may retain narrowly limited records for longer when required for tax, accounting, fraud prevention, security, dispute resolution, or other legal obligations. When retention is no longer required, data is deleted or irreversibly anonymized. Provider backups may expire on the provider's documented schedule.
You can initiate account deletion in the app under Settings → account → Delete account, or follow the external process on our Delete account and data page. Account deletion removes the account, account-specific profile, settings, device registrations, purchase-verification data, pending location requests, and Firebase Authentication account. It also removes server location history and current device state for the devices registered with that account. Uninstalling the app alone does not delete the account. Deleting an account does not automatically cancel a Google Play subscription.
The same physical device may be registered with more than one account. Deleting one account does not delete another account, but the shared device's server location history and current state are removed and may disappear from a remaining account until the active device uploads a new state. An FCM token may remain while the device is registered with another account so that service messages continue to work. Server error and login-error records may retain an IP address, email address, or device ID for no longer than 7 days after account deletion solely for security, abuse prevention, and troubleshooting; they are not used to provide ordinary account features during that period.
8. Security
We implement technical and organizational measures designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risks of processing. These measures reduce, but cannot eliminate, security risks, and we do not guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for securing your devices and the credentials used to access the Service. MakeevApps does not receive or store your Google password. Security concerns relating to your Find My account or personal data processed by MakeevApps may be reported to find.phone.app@gmail.com. Issues relating solely to your Google Account should be directed to Google. If a personal data breach occurs, we will investigate and take the steps required by applicable law.
9. Your choices
- Grant or revoke location, Bluetooth, notification, overlay, and other Android permissions in system Settings.
- Enable or disable individual finding and anti-loss features in the app.
- Update account or device information where the app provides that control.
- Delete individual locally saved Bluetooth devices or clear the app's local data.
- Reset or delete the Advertising ID in Android's privacy settings. Availability and menu names depend on the Android version and device manufacturer.
- Delete your account and associated data as described above.
10. Your privacy rights
Depending on your location and subject to the conditions and exceptions in applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data; object to processing based on legitimate interests; and withdraw consent without affecting earlier lawful processing. Where the conditions of Article 20 GDPR apply, you may request the personal data you provided to us and that we process by automated means on the basis of your consent or our contract, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
We encourage you to contact us first so that we can try to resolve your concern. This does not affect your right to lodge a complaint with a competent data-protection supervisory authority, including the Czech Office for Personal Data Protection (ÚOOÚ).
To exercise a right, email find.phone.app@gmail.com. We may ask for information reasonably necessary to verify that the request concerns your account. We will respond within the period required by applicable law.
California and other U.S. state residents may submit the same access, correction, or deletion requests. Because we do not sell personal data or share it for targeted advertising, there is no separate "Do Not Sell or Share" opt-out process.
11. Children
The Service is not directed to children under 13. A minor who has not reached the age at which they may independently enter this agreement or consent to data processing in their country may use the Service only with permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian. If you believe a child provided personal data without valid authorization, contact us so we can investigate and delete it where required.
12. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy when the Service, providers, or legal requirements change. The current version and effective date will remain available at this URL. Where applicable law requires additional notice of a material change, we will provide it through the Service or another appropriate channel before the change takes effect, to the extent required by law.
