Transferring Your Data
Your data, Personal Data included, may be processed or stored in a country other than your own, where the privacy protections may differ from what you're used to.
If you're outside the United States and choose to give us your information, that data may be sent to and processed in the United States.

We take reasonable measures to protect your data and follow this policy. Data is only moved when adequate protections are already in place.

- To allow file recovery following a reinstall
Data That Gets Accessed:
- Only files kept in the Private Vault are accessed
- No other files on your device are touched
How This Data Is Kept Safe:

Once switched on, it allows users to track app installs and uninstalls.
While this feature is active:
- A notification, such as "Monitoring app changes…", will appear
- The service runs only temporarily
