Privacy Policy for Sentry Editor

Last updated: March 15, 2026

Overview

Sentry Editor is a video viewer and editor for Tesla Sentry Mode and Dashcam footage. Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what data we collect and how we use it.

Data We Collect

Video Files

• Your Tesla video files are processed locally on your device only
• We do not upload, store, or transmit your videos to any server
• All video editing and exporting happens on your device

Analytics & Crash Reporting

• We use Firebase Crashlytics to collect crash reports
• This helps us fix bugs and improve the app
• Crash data includes device type, Android version, and error details
• No personal information or video content is included
• Crash data is retained by Firebase for 90 days

Advertising

• We use Google AdMob to display ads in the free version (banner, interstitial, and rewarded ads)
• AdMob may collect device identifiers for personalized ads
• Users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and UK will be shown a consent dialog to choose personalized or non-personalized ads
• You can opt out of personalized ads in your device settings

Ad Usage Counter

• To enforce the free premium export trial limit, we store a usage counter in Firebase Firestore
• This record contains an anonymous device identifier (Android ID) and an integer count
• No personal information is associated with this identifier
• You can request deletion of this record by contacting us

Location Data

• The app displays GPS coordinates embedded in your Tesla videos
• This data comes from your video files, not from your device's GPS
• GPS coordinates are sent to Google Maps and Google's Geocoding API to display maps and convert coordinates to city/street names
• We do not operate our own servers — location data is only shared with Google services for map and geocoding features
• Video files themselves are never uploaded

NAS Backup

• The app offers an optional feature to back up imported clips to your own Network Attached Storage (NAS) server via SFTP or SMB
• Backup data is sent directly from your device to your own server — it does not pass through our servers
• NAS connection credentials (hostname, username, password) are stored locally on your device using Android EncryptedSharedPreferences (AES-256 encryption)
• We do not have access to your NAS credentials or backed-up files

Purchases

• Google Play Billing processes all in-app purchases
• Purchase tokens are exchanged with Google Play to verify Pro status
• We do not store or access payment details

Local Storage

• App preferences (favorites, settings) are stored locally on your device
• Billing preferences are stored using EncryptedSharedPreferences for security
• This data is not synced or uploaded anywhere

Device Permissions

• Storage / Media access — to read Tesla video files from USB drives and save exported videos and snapshots
• Internet — for Google Maps, ad serving, crash reporting, purchase verification, and NAS backup
• Foreground service — for NAS backup progress notifications

Data We Do NOT Collect

• Personal information (name, email, phone)
• Account credentials
• Your Tesla account information
• Your video files or their contents

Third-Party Services

Data Retention

• Crash reports are retained by Firebase Crashlytics for 90 days
• Ad usage counters are retained in Firestore indefinitely (anonymous device ID + integer count only)
• Purchase records are retained in Firestore for purchase restore functionality
• Local app data (preferences, GPS cache, clip cache) is deleted when you uninstall the app or clear app data

Children's Privacy

Sentry Editor is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
