What does Redmorph do with user data?

No large database of user information, no matter how secure, is fundamentally private or safe. There’s only one guaranteed way to protect user data, and it’s abstaining from collecting that data to begin with: malicious actors can’t hack into a database that doesn’t exist.

The most trustworthy privacy and security applications collect the bare minimum information that they need to function. Redmorph takes this responsibility seriously, and doesn’t store any information about its users.

This is the information Redmorph collects:

  • The method you use to pay for the application — only the service you use (Paypal, Android Pay) and not your payment details. This information is swiftly deleted after your last payment.
  • The device ID of your computer or phone, which is used to connect your Redmorph subscription to you. We use the device ID rather than any personally identifiable information.
  • Information you explicitly volunteer, like your email address. This usually only comes up if you report an issue and want to be contacted about it.

A major issue in online privacy is that websites and applications often collect users’ data and monitor them without their consent, often in order to sell the information to advertisers. As Redmorph’s goal is to help you protect yourself from these applications, it’s always clear when you’re about to share information with us.

This policy against covert monitoring (and monitoring in general) includes cookies: our site doesn’t use them at all. Most sites and services use cookies because they’re a simple and convenient way to keep track of users, but Redmorph was designed to help maintain your privacy, and that includes respecting your privacy. The bottom line is: we don’t want to keep track of our users.
