FindBug Privacy Policy

Effective date: 2026-11-01

Overview

FindBug is provided by alinxs. FindBug is a motion detection utility designed to identify small independent moving-object candidates using on-device computer vision. The app does not require an account, does not collect personal data, and operates completely offline on your device.

Camera & Video Processing

Camera Access: The app requests camera permission solely to capture live preview frames for real-time motion candidate analysis. Camera frames are processed strictly in volatile memory using on-device computer vision algorithms (CameraX and OpenCV). Camera frames are never recorded, never stored on persistent storage, and never transmitted to any external server.

User-Selected Videos: When you choose to analyze an existing video, the file is accessed locally through the system media picker only upon your explicit selection. The video is analyzed entirely on your device. No video files or extracted frames are uploaded or shared.

Data Storage & Analytics

Local Preferences: The app stores basic user preferences (such as detection sensitivity, minimum candidate size, alert preferences, and selected language) locally on your device using standard local storage (SharedPreferences). These settings never leave your device.

No Accounts or Backend Servers: FindBug does not require user registration or login, and alinxs does not operate any backend server to receive your data.

Advertising

The app displays banner advertising provided by Google Mobile Ads (AdMob). Google and its partners may process device and online identifiers, IP address, approximate location derived from IP address, app interaction information, diagnostics, and other information described in Google's policies to provide, measure, and prevent fraud in advertising.

Google's privacy policy is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can manage advertising preferences through your device settings and Google ad settings where available.

Important Notice on Detection

FindBug detects small moving-object candidates based on visual optical flow and frame differences. It does not definitively identify insect species, nor does it guarantee pest detection, extermination, or pest control efficacy.

Children's Privacy

The app is intended for general audiences and does not knowingly collect any personal information from children or any other users.

Changes

We may update this policy to reflect app improvements or regulatory updates. The effective date at the top of this page indicates the latest revision.
