Can I trust My Vodafone Romania?

unTRUSTED 75 Android Version 7.11.2 (versionCode 7110203) Scanned build downloaded: Store version released: Last checked: ro.vodafone.mcare.android Scanned

This scan is more than 90 days old.

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 send app usage and account activity to Firebase Analytics, Adjust, Facebook, Tealium, Huawei HiAnalytics, Medallia, and Urban Airship for analytics, marketing attribution, and push messaging. Some code may send activity with less protection than expected on certain network paths. Account authentication uses hardware-backed key storage on the device.
Main concern
Hardcoded AES key in billing app enables offline decryption of all 'encrypted' data
The developer's description

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

    Items recorded, result pending review

    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.

    No findings identified proprietary data formats that would trap your information, artificial barriers to switching carriers, or blocked account deletion paths. Telecommunications account data is subject to GDPR data access and portability rights independent of what the app itself provides.

  • Truly Local

    One criterion not met

    Contains code to send personal data off the device

    Why this result

    This app presents itself as working offline or on the device alone, and this build contains code written to send personal data to servers. The check covers analytics, crash reporting, advertising code and any first-party endpoint the code addresses personal data to. Code of this kind is common; what this check reports is the distance between that code and how the app describes itself.
