Location tracking is **optional** and must be explicitly enabled by the account owner. 2. Consent is recorded at the time GPS collection is activated. 3. Users are informed that location access is continuous (background mode). 4. Users can disable GPS tracking at any time via the Admin app or Control Panel. 5. The app requires Android permissions: `ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION` and `ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION`. 6. Data is encrypted and only accessible to the authorized account. 7. If used for live tracking, duration and visibility must be pre-defined. 8. GPS data is stored with a timestamp and device identifier for traceability. 9. Data is not shared with third parties unless required by law. 10. The user must be the legal owner or have authorization to track the device. ### ⚠️ Legal and Ethical Notice Unauthorized tracking of another person’s device without consent may violate privacy laws in your country. Always ensure legal compliance when enabling location tracking. > For more details, please refer to the general Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. ### Audio Stream (Ambient Voice Recording) ## πŸŽ™οΈ Ambient Audio Consent Policy This section outlines the consent requirements for the Ambient Audio Recording feature in the MyPhones Agent app. ### βœ… Purpose of Audio Recording The ambient voice recording feature allows the device to capture short audio samples using the built-in microphone. This feature is designed for: * Environmental monitoring (e.g. workplace safety) * Child safety and protection * Incident investigation with timestamped audio clips ### πŸ“„ Scope of Collected Data When enabled, the Agent app may collect: * Audio recordings from the device microphone * Timestamps of each audio clip * Device ID and session ID * Audio duration and file size metadata ### πŸ” User Consent Requirements 1. Ambient audio recording is **disabled by default** and must be explicitly enabled by the account owner. 2. Consent is recorded with timestamp and user IP when the feature is activated. 3. Users are informed that microphone access is involved. 4. Audio recordings are limited in length (e.g., 10–60 seconds per clip). 5. Recordings are triggered manually or through scheduled intervals. 6. The app requires `RECORD_AUDIO` Android permission. 7. Audio files are encrypted and stored securely in the cloud. 8. Only the authorized Admin account can access or download the recordings. 9. Audio data is never streamed live or shared with third parties. 10. A visible or logged indicator must confirm recording activity when active. #### **Ambient Voice Recordings – Data Retention** The agent app collects ambient voice recordings **only when the user explicitly activates the Ambient Recording feature** and only on devices that they own or have proper authorization to monitor. To protect user privacy and maintain system performance, all ambient voice recordings are subject to an automatic retention limit: * **Recordings are stored for a maximum of 30 days.** * **Any file older than 30 days is automatically deleted** from our servers. * Deletion is permanent and non-recoverable. * Users may manually delete recordings at any time before the 30-day retention period. This retention policy is applied to minimize storage usage, reduce privacy risks, and comply with international data protection standards.\ We do **not** use voice recordings for analytics, AI training, marketing, or any other secondary purpose. ### ⚠️ Legal and Ethical Notice Recording audio without proper consent may be illegal in many jurisdictions. Always ensure that the device owner is fully informed and agrees to enable this feature. > Unauthorized use of audio monitoring features may violate privacy or wiretapping laws depending on your country. Use this feature responsibly and only in compliance with local regulations. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
