We believe transparency is the foundation of trust. Here is exactly how your data is handled.
This Privacy Policy applies to the Phone Doctor mobile application (the "App") developed by Ahmad Al-Sl (the "Developer"). The App is available on the Google Play Store (Android) and Apple App Store (iOS).
By downloading and using Phone Doctor, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these terms, please uninstall the App.
Core Principle: Phone Doctor is a diagnostic tool. All hardware tests run entirely on your device. We do not store, sell, or transmit your personal test results to any external server we own or operate.
Phone Doctor does not collect, store, or share any personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, email address, or phone number. The data interactions in the app fall into two categories:
Data processed locally on your device (never transmitted):
Data collected automatically by third-party services:
We do not sell, rent, or trade your data to any third party for marketing purposes.
Phone Doctor requests the following operating system permissions solely to perform the hardware diagnostic tests you initiate. You will be prompted to grant each permission at the time it is needed.
| Permission | Why It's Needed | Can I Deny It? |
|---|---|---|
| 📷 Camera | To display the rear and front camera live preview during the Camera Test | Yes. The Camera test will be skipped. |
| 🎙️ Microphone | To record a short audio clip during the Microphone Test for local playback | Yes. The Microphone test will be skipped. |
| 📡 Network State | To measure ping, connectivity status, and Wi-Fi signal strength | Yes. The Network test may show limited data. |
| 🔦 Flashlight | To toggle the LED flash during the Flashlight Test | Yes. The Flash test will be skipped. |
| 🧭 Motion & Sensors | To read Accelerometer, Gyroscope, and Magnetometer data during the Sensor Suite test | Yes. The Sensor test will be skipped. |
You can revoke any permission at any time through your device's Settings app.
Phone Doctor integrates the following third-party SDKs. Each service has its own independent Privacy Policy, which we encourage you to review:
These services may collect data such as IP addresses, device identifiers (Advertising ID / IDFA), and aggregated usage patterns. This is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.
Phone Doctor is a free application supported by advertising. We use Google AdMob to display banner and rewarded video advertisements within the App.
Google AdMob may collect and use the following to serve personalized or non-personalized ads:
If you are located in a region subject to GDPR (European Economic Area) or CCPA (California), AdMob's consent management platform will be displayed to you before any personalized ad data is collected. You may opt out of personalized advertising in your device's settings at any time.

To improve the stability and reliability of Phone Doctor, we use Firebase Crashlytics by Google. When the App encounters an unexpected error, Crashlytics automatically collects and sends us an anonymous crash report.
This report may include:
Crash reports contain no personal information. They are used exclusively by the Developer to identify and fix bugs.
We use Firebase Analytics to understand how the App is used, which features are popular, and how to improve the user experience. All data collected is aggregated and anonymous.
Examples of events collected:
This data cannot be linked back to any individual user and is used solely for product improvement purposes.
Since Phone Doctor does not maintain its own user accounts or databases, there is no personal data stored on our servers to delete.
Phone Doctor is not directed at, and does not knowingly collect personal information from, children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction).
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided personal information through this App, please contact us immediately using the contact information below and we will take steps to delete such information promptly.
Note: Because Phone Doctor displays advertisements powered by Google AdMob, it is rated for users 13+ and is configured accordingly in both the Google Play Console and Apple App Store Connect.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, third-party services, or applicable laws. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Your continued use of the App after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or your data, please reach out to us directly.
