Why is application metadata collected?

I collect metadata of apps installed on your device for scientific reasons. As a part of my Master Thesis I detect possibly repackaged (and dangerous) aplications. For these reasons I need a database of application metadata. Based on this database, detection of malicious applications is implemented.

Android ID

Unique identifier of android device.

Why is device ID (Android ID) required?

Device ID is used only to prevent multiple application metadata collection. It also helps to track number of unique users of my service. It is not provided to anyone else.

Log Data

I want to inform you that whenever you use my Service, in a case of an error in the app I collect data and information (through third party products) on your phone called Log Data. This Log Data may include information such as your device Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, device name, operating system version, the configuration of the app when utilizing my Service, the time and date of your use of the Service, and other statistics. Service Providers I may employ third-party companies and individuals due to the following reasons: • To facilitate our Service; • To provide the Service on our behalf; • To perform Service-related services; or • To assist us in analyzing how our Service is used. I want to inform users of this Service that these third parties have access to your Personal Information. The reason is to perform the tasks assigned to them on our behalf. However, they are obligated not to disclose or use the information for any other purpose.

I don't want to share my data

Data sharing is turned on by default. You can change it in Apk Analyzer application settings.

Security

I value your trust in providing us your Personal Information, thus we are striving to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. But remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and I cannot guarantee its absolute security.

In the case I discover that a child under 13 has provided me with personal information, I immediately delete this from our servers.
