unTRUSTED 82 Android Version 1.2.21-release.01 (versionCode 11221201) Scanned build downloaded: Store version released: Last checked: SpaceXAI ai.x.grok Scanned

This app did not meet two or more trust checks, has a critical issue in one, or has a red flag.

What it means for you
The app includes code to pass usage and interaction data to Mixpanel, AppsFlyer, and Braze for analytics, attribution, and marketing engagement. Login tokens are stored in the protected Android credential store, isolated from other apps. Google Analytics is configured to exclude advertising identifiers, and support chat identity data is encrypted with hardware-backed storage.
Main concern
Mixpanel session replay includes code to transmit all AI conversation content to a third party at 100% sampling

Trust checks

  • Secure by Design

    Items recorded, result pending review

    Security gaps detected

    Why this result

    This check looks for security issues at high severity or above in the code of this build, and at least one was recorded. Issues of this kind include a credential or token another app on the device can reach, sensitive data stored without protection, and network paths that expose information in transit.

  • Data Minimization

    One criterion not met

    Tracking lacks clear disclosure

    Why this result

    This build contains analytics or attribution code written to send data to companies other than the developer. No consent step was found before that code runs, and the app's disclosures do not describe the collection in full. Tracking by itself is ordinary; what this check reports is the combination of collection, recipient and absent disclosure.

  • Manifest Mismatch

    One criterion not met

    Disclosure incomplete or contradicted

    Why this result

    The check compares the app's privacy disclosures against what the code does, and at least one claim did not match in this build. Mismatches of this kind include a data category collected but not disclosed, a recipient the disclosure omits, and an identifier attached to data the disclosure describes as anonymous.

  • User Control

    Strong

    No lock-in

    Why this result

    The check looks for a way to export the data an account has accumulated and a way to delete the account itself. In this build, either both were found, or the app has no account of its own and keeps its data on the device. For an app without an account, the developer has no server-side copy to export or delete, and deleting the app removes the data in its own storage.

    The app includes in-app account deletion that schedules full removal of the account and all conversation data within 30 days, along with separate options to delete all conversation history and all generated media. No proprietary local data formats, export barriers, or artificial switching obstacles were identified. Authentication credentials are stored in the Android system credential store and are not trapped in a proprietary format.

Strengths

  • All app traffic uses HTTPS or TLS — no plaintext network connections are possible
  • Certificate validation is implemented correctly with no SSL bypass patterns found
  • Login tokens are stored in the Android system credential store, protected from backup and other apps
  • Google Analytics is configured to not collect the advertising ID or ad personalization signals
  • Support chat identity data is encrypted with hardware-backed AES-GCM via Android Keystore
