CamGuard
Overview
Welcome to CamGuard, an advanced security application designed to detect hidden cameras and analyze network vulnerabilities. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and handle your information when you use our mobile application and related services.
Our Commitment
We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This policy outlines our practices and your rights regarding data protection.
CamGuard provides sophisticated security features including:
- WiFi Network Scanning: Analysis of connected network devices and potential security vulnerabilities
- Hidden Camera Detection: AI-powered visual analysis to identify concealed surveillance devices
- Image Analysis: Advanced machine learning algorithms to detect suspicious objects in uploaded images
- Real-time Security Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of your network environment
Information We Collect
Personal Information
We collect the following personal information when you use CamGuard:
- Account Information: Email address, display name, profile picture (if provided)
- Authentication Data: Login credentials, authentication tokens, and session information
- Device Information: Device type, operating system version, app version, unique device identifiers
- Usage Analytics: App usage patterns, feature interactions, crash reports, and performance metrics
Technical Data
To provide our security services, we may collect technical information including:
- Network Information: WiFi network names (SSIDs), network security protocols, connected device metadata
- Scan Results: Device discovery data, network topology information, security assessment results
- Location Data: Approximate location (if permitted) to enhance network security analysis
- Camera Access: Camera permissions for visual scanning functionality (images are processed locally when possible)
Sensitive Data Notice
We understand that network scanning and image analysis involve sensitive information. We implement strict data minimization principles and process only the data necessary to provide our security services.
Network Scanning & Analysis
CamGuard's network scanning feature helps identify potential security vulnerabilities and hidden surveillance devices on your WiFi network.
What We Scan
- Connected Devices: Identification of devices connected to your network
- Device Types: Classification of devices (cameras, IoT devices, computers, mobile devices)
- Network Ports: Analysis of open ports and services that may indicate surveillance equipment
- Security Protocols: Assessment of network encryption and security configurations
Data Processing
Local Processing Priority
Network scanning is primarily performed locally on your device. Only anonymized metadata and security assessment results are transmitted to our servers for analysis and improvement of our detection algorithms.
Retention Period
Network scan results are stored locally on your device and automatically deleted after 30 days. Anonymized security statistics may be retained longer for research and algorithm improvement purposes.
Image Analysis & Processing
Our advanced image analysis feature uses AI and machine learning to detect hidden cameras and suspicious objects in photos you upload or capture.
How Image Analysis Works
- Local Analysis: Initial processing is performed on your device using on-device AI models
- Cloud Enhancement: For complex detection, encrypted images may be sent to our secure cloud infrastructure
- AI Detection: Advanced machine learning algorithms analyze visual patterns, reflections, and anomalies
- Result Generation: Detailed reports highlighting potential surveillance devices
Image Data Handling
Privacy-First Approach
- Images are encrypted during transmission and processing
- No images are stored permanently on our servers
- Processing data is automatically deleted within 24 hours
- You can opt for local-only processing in app settings
AI Model Training
To improve our detection accuracy, we may use anonymized and aggregated analysis results to train our AI models. No personal information or identifiable image content is used in this process.
Hidden Camera Detection
CamGuard employs multiple detection methods to identify concealed surveillance devices in your environment.
Detection Methods
- Network-Based Detection: Identification of camera devices connected to your network
- Visual Analysis: AI-powered detection of camera lenses, reflections, and typical hiding spots
- Infrared Detection: Analysis of infrared signatures that may indicate active cameras
- Pattern Recognition: Detection of surveillance device characteristics and behaviors
Detection Data
Camera detection results include:
- Device location and orientation estimates
- Confidence levels and detection reasoning
- Recommendations for verification and security measures
- Historical detection patterns for trend analysis
Detection Limitations
While our detection algorithms are highly advanced, no system is 100% accurate. CamGuard should be used as part of a comprehensive security assessment, not as the sole security measure.
