This Privacy Policy describes how Screen Privacy: Peek Alert (“Peek Alert”, “the App”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) accesses, uses, processes, stores, and protects information when you use the App. We designed Peek Alert around privacy. The App uses your device’s front-facing camera to detect whether another person may be looking at your screen. Camera analysis is performed directly on your device.
1. Camera Access
Peek Alert requires access to your device’s front-facing camera in order to provide its primary functionality.
The camera is used to:
- Detect whether people are present near the device.
- Detect faces and eyes when necessary for screen-viewing detection.
- Estimate whether someone may be looking toward your screen.
- Provide real-time privacy alerts.
- Capture a photo when the optional viewer-capture feature is enabled.
The App does not use camera access for advertising or unrelated purposes.
2. On-Device Detection
Live camera frames used for detection are processed directly on your device. Camera frames used for real-time analysis are not uploaded to our servers.
Peek Alert does not perform facial recognition and does not attempt to determine the identity of people detected by the camera. The detection technology is used only to determine whether someone may be viewing your screen.
3. Viewer Capture Feature
Peek Alert may offer an optional feature that captures a photo when the App detects that someone may be looking at your screen. When this feature is enabled:
- The photo is created using your device’s camera.
- The photo remains stored locally on your device.
- The photo is not automatically uploaded to our servers.
- The photo is not sold to third parties or used for advertising.
- The photo is not used to identify the person shown in the image.
You control whether this feature is enabled. Users are responsible for using the photo-capture feature in accordance with applicable privacy, photography and recording laws in their jurisdiction.
4. Floating Privacy Indicator
Peek Alert may request permission to display content over other applications. This permission is used to show the privacy status indicator and alerts while you are using another application.
- Green when no viewing risk is detected.
- Yellow when someone is nearby.
- Red when someone may be looking at your screen.
This permission is not used to read the content displayed inside other applications.
5. Notifications
Peek Alert may request permission to send notifications. Notifications may be used to inform you about privacy alerts, detection events, protection status, and features directly related to operation of the App. Notification permissions can be changed at any time through your Android device settings.
6. Information Stored on Your Device
The App may store information locally on your device such as app preferences, detection settings, privacy indicator settings, viewer-capture preferences, detection history, and locally captured photos. This information is used to operate and personalize the App.
7. Personal Information We Do Not Require
Peek Alert does not require your name, home address, phone number, contacts, precise location, or microphone recordings. No user account is required unless a future version of the App specifically introduces account functionality.
8. Sharing of Camera Images
We do not sell camera images or captured viewer photos. We do not provide live camera frames to advertisers, use captured images to create advertising profiles, or use captured images for facial recognition. Camera information is used only for the privacy-protection functionality described in this Privacy Policy.
9. Data Retention
Temporary camera frames used for real-time detection are processed as required for detection and are not intentionally retained after analysis. Photos generated through the optional viewer-capture feature remain on your device until you delete them.
Local App preferences and detection information may remain on the device until you delete them through the App where available, clear the App’s storage, or uninstall the App. Because camera frames and viewer photos are not stored on our servers, we cannot remotely access or delete those locally stored files.
10. Data Deletion
You can delete locally stored viewer photos and detection information through the available App or device controls. You may also clear Peek Alert’s local data through Android’s application settings or uninstall the App.
11. Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information processed by the App. Whenever possible, privacy-sensitive camera processing is performed locally on your device in order to minimize transmission of sensitive information. However, no software, device or security system can guarantee absolute security.
12. Permissions
Depending on your device and Android version, Peek Alert may request permissions or system access including:
Camera
Required to detect people who may be looking at your screen and, if enabled, capture viewer photos.
Display Over Other Apps
Used to show privacy indicators and warnings while other applications are open.
Notifications
Used to display privacy and detection alerts.
Photos / Media Access
May be required on certain Android versions if you choose to save or manage captured viewer photos.
Permissions can be reviewed or revoked through your Android device settings. Revoking certain permissions may prevent related features from working.
13. Children’s Privacy
Peek Alert is not specifically designed or directed toward children. We do not knowingly use camera data to identify children or create profiles about children. If you believe personal information has been processed inappropriately through the App, please contact us.
14. Legal Requirements
We may update our privacy practices if required by applicable law, platform requirements or changes to the App. The viewer-capture functionality should be used responsibly and in compliance with local privacy and photography laws.
15. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when features, legal requirements or data-processing practices change. When changes are made, the revised version will be published on this page and the effective date above will be updated. We encourage users to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
