LabDroid

Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2, 2026

      LabDroid reads sensor and hardware information only on your own device. It does not request internet access and sends no data to us or anyone else.
    

1. What LabDroid Does

LabDroid reads data from your phone's sensors, location, cameras, battery, connectivity and other hardware components through official, public Android APIs, and displays it inside the app. All reading and processing happens locally on your device.

2. Permissions

LabDroid asks for a permission from the screen that needs it. You can deny any of them - the related readings are then simply not available. The current state of every permission is visible in the app's Settings.

Location - GPS position, satellite radar and compass
Camera - camera module specifications
Body sensors and Physical activity - heart-rate and step sensors, if your device has them
Microphone - the sound level meter; audio is measured live and never recorded or stored
Phone state - cellular signal strength and SIM state
Bluetooth - Bluetooth adapter information and the names of devices already paired with your phone, shown only on screen
Network and Wi-Fi state - connection type and Wi-Fi details
Notifications - listed in Settings; the current version does not post any notifications

3. Data We Do Not Collect

LabDroid does not collect, store remotely, or transmit any data to us or anyone else. Specifically:

No personal information of any kind
No sensor readings, location or device information sent anywhere
No usage statistics or analytics
No advertising
No internet permission is requested at all - this can be verified directly in the app's manifest and source code on GitHub

4. Data Stored Locally on Your Device

LabDroid stores the following data in your device's local app storage:

App preferences - theme, language, units, default sampling speed and your chosen export folder
Recordings - sensor sessions you choose to record in the Monitor tab

The only data that leaves the app is a file you explicitly choose to export (CSV, JSON, XML, TXT or GPX) or share using your device's own share function. You can clear all stored data at any time from the app's Settings, by clearing the app's storage in your device settings, or by uninstalling the app.

If Android's own backup is turned on in your device settings, the system may include these app preferences and recordings in your personal device backup. This is handled by Android under your account, not by LabDroid.

5. Location and Google Play services

LabDroid gets your position through the Fused Location Provider of Google Play services already installed on your phone. LabDroid itself never sends your location anywhere. Google Play services is part of your device's system software and is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

6. Third-Party Services

LabDroid includes no advertising SDKs, no analytics libraries and no crash-reporting services.

LabDroid is not distributed through the Google Play Store; the official APK is available only from the LabDroid GitHub repository.

7. Children's Privacy

LabDroid is not directed at children under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.

8. Changes to This Policy

If we update this Privacy Policy, we will post the revised version on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
