StealthGuard Mobile

StealthGuard Mobile helps you protect your own phone with fast anti-theft alerts and on-device evidence capture.

Designed for your own device:
StealthGuard Mobile is intended to be installed and used on a device you own. It is not a tool for monitoring another person. The app stays visible in your app list, shows a permanent notification while armed, and requires you to accept an in-app agreement before protection can be switched on.

Key features:
- Motion-based theft detection tuned for sudden snatch activity.
- Loud emergency alarm with flashlight strobe to attract attention.
- Dual-camera capture to record evidence during an alert.
- Owner-safe stop flow: alarm stops only after on-device owner verification.
- Lock-screen full-screen alert so actions are visible immediately.
- Built-in alarm test and evidence viewer for quick validation.
- Optional automatic screen lock during a theft alert (Device Admin) — you choose whether to enable it; core alarm and evidence capture work without it.

Battery and reliability:
- Battery-smart monitoring profile for day-long use.
- Adaptive behavior when power saver is enabled.

About camera capture:
While an alarm is active, StealthGuard Mobile takes photos from the front and rear cameras at regular intervals so you have a record of what happened. Capture happens only during an active alert, never silently in the background, and only after you have granted camera permission. Android shows its own camera indicator while the cameras are in use.

Privacy:
- By default, all evidence stays on your device in StealthGuard's private app storage.
- Configurable retention controls help you manage stored captures, and old captures are removed automatically.
- Location is used in two ways, both optional: a location snapshot is included only when you generate a backup report, and — if you turn on Auto-activate outdoors and Auto-deactivate on return home — background location arms/disarms protection automatically based on a home area you set, so protection arms/disarms automatically. Background access is required since crossing the radius can't be detected while the app is closed. Neither is active unless you enable the relevant feature and grant the location permission it requires.
- StealthGuard Mobile does not send your evidence to StealthGuard servers.
- StealthGuard Mobile also uses Firebase Crashlytics to automatically collect crash logs and device diagnostics, which helps us fix bugs. This is separate from your evidence captures and not tied to any optional feature.

Free and Premium:
StealthGuard Mobile is free to download and use. The free tier is supported by advertising, and a full-screen ad may be shown when you arm or disarm protection or on some specific actions. Ads are never shown during an active theft alert or on the lock-screen alert screen. Subscribing to Premium removes these ads.

Optional Premium cloud backup:
If you subscribe to Premium and choose to switch on cloud backup, StealthGuard Mobile signs you in with Google and uploads your captured photos, a location snapshot and your account email address to your own Google Drive. Only files created by this app are accessed. You can switch backup off at any time and delete those files from your Drive yourself.

Premium subscription terms:
Premium is an auto-renewing subscription. The price, billing period and any free trial are shown on the Google Play purchase screen before you confirm. Payment is charged to your Google Play account and renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel at any time in the Google Play app, under Payments and subscriptions, then Subscriptions. Cancelling stops future renewals; access continues until the end of the period you have already paid for.

Important:
StealthGuard Mobile is a prevention and response aid. It cannot guarantee theft recovery in every situation.
