Privacy Policy
Your privacy is our priority
Quick Summary
Effective Date
This Privacy Policy is effective as of January 1, 2025, and applies to all users of Better Authenticator.
Our Commitment to Privacy
At Better Authenticator, we believe privacy is a fundamental right. Our application is designed with privacy-by-design principles, ensuring that your sensitive authentication data remains completely private and secure on your device.
What We Don't Collect
No Personal Information
We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personal identifiers.
No Authentication Data
Your 2FA codes, secret keys, and account information never leave your device.
No Usage Analytics
We don't track how you use the app, which features you access, or when you use it.
No Device Information
We don't collect device IDs, operating system details, or hardware specifications.
Camera Usage
Better Authenticator requests camera access solely for scanning QR codes when setting up new 2FA accounts.
- The camera feed is processed locally on your device in real-time
- No camera data is recorded, stored, or transmitted
- QR code scanning happens entirely offline
- Once a QR code is scanned, the camera access is immediately released
- You can revoke camera permissions at any time through your device settings
Fully Offline Operations
Complete Offline Functionality: Better Authenticator operates entirely offline and requires no internet connection.
- All authentication codes are generated locally using industry-standard algorithms
- No network requests are made by the application
- Your authentication data is stored securely on your device using platform-specific encryption
- The app functions completely without any server infrastructure
Data Security
While we don't collect your data, we take the security of your locally stored information seriously:
Local Encryption
All authentication secrets are encrypted using your device's secure storage mechanisms (Keychain on iOS, Keystore on Android, etc.).
No Cloud Sync
Your data stays on your device. We don't sync to cloud services, reducing potential attack vectors.
Open Source
Our code is open source, allowing security researchers and developers to audit our privacy practices.
Third-Party Services
Better Authenticator does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. The app operates in complete isolation from external services.
Children's Privacy
Better Authenticator does not collect any personal information from anyone, including children under 13. Since the app operates entirely offline and doesn't collect data, it's safe for users of all ages.
Changes to This Policy
Since Better Authenticator doesn't collect any data, this privacy policy is unlikely to change in ways that affect your privacy. However, if we do make updates, we will post the revised policy on our website and update the effective date.
Your Rights
Since we don't collect your data, there's nothing for us to delete, modify, or export. Your authentication data belongs entirely to you and remains under your complete control on your device.
