Trust checks

  • Secure by Design

    One criterion not met

    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

    Strong

    Tracking done right

    Why this result

    The check looks at analytics and attribution code for companies other than the developer: the data it reads, the companies named in code as recipients, and whether a consent step runs before that code. In this build, either no such code was recorded, or a consent step runs before it and the app's own disclosures describe the collection.

    No advertising networks, behavioral analytics platforms, attribution services, or data broker SDKs are present in the app. The only third-party connections are Google Sign-In for authentication, Firebase for push notification delivery, and Google Play for one-time install attribution. None of these constitute behavioral tracking of the kind this stamp assesses, so no consent timing question arises.

  • 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.

    No proprietary data formats, artificial barriers to account deletion, or obstacles to leaving the service were found in the app's code or configuration. The app's interface is loaded from the developer's web service, where account and data management features would typically reside. No evidence of lock-in mechanisms was identified.

Strengths

  • No advertising, analytics, attribution, or session recording SDKs are present
  • No data is shared with advertising networks or data brokers
  • Biometric authentication is processed entirely on-device with no credential data transmitted
  • Passkey/FIDO2 authentication support keeps credentials on-device
  • All primary app content is loaded over HTTPS
