Your Privacy at Protectstar™
Comprehensive protection. No compromises.
We treat your digital activity as something deeply personal: confidential and for your eyes only. That’s why our apps follow a simple principle: no trackers, no advertising IDs — strict data minimization. For details, see our Policy for Apps and Disclosure.
What we don’t do
- No location data. We do not collect GPS or motion data.
- No advertising or tracking IDs. No ad profiling, no sale of data.
- No contents of your files/apps. We don’t view or transmit your personal content.
What we process minimally — and why
To protect you reliably, some Android apps require technical signals:
- App names / package identifiers — to detect risky software.
- Checksums (SHA‑256/MD5) — digital fingerprints that reveal tampering — without file contents.
- Optional: device metadata (e.g., OS version, manufacturer, model) — for forensic statistics and false‑positive reduction.
Note on IP addresses:
We do not store IP addresses permanently. Short technical processing can occur for security/operational reasons or when you use the WhoIs feature in Firewall AI (in that case, the destination IP is used for the lookup).
How we process - secure & minimal
- Encryption: Transmission via HTTPS/AES‑256.
- Server location:Germany, in ISO 27001‑certified data centers.
- Retention: Processing only as long as needed — typically seconds, then deletion.
Notifications - without tracking
We use Firebase Messaging for real‑time security alerts — no ad IDs, no Crashlytics, no Facebook Analytics. The notification token is used solely for delivery and contains no personal content.
Your privacy rights
Even though we do not collect your personal data, you of course have the right to access, rectification, and deletion. If you have questions or want to exercise your rights, contact us anytime or visit our full privacy policy. We handle every request with the highest priority.
Our promise to you
While others see your data as a business opportunity, we see something far more valuable: your privacy. Protectstar™ gives you comprehensive protection and full transparency, so you can feel safe — without compromises, without hidden data collection, and without hassle.
