#### 🛡️ Legal / Trust & Safety – FAQs

***

#### ❓ Is it legal to use the apps on someone else’s device?

Only if you have:

* **Legal ownership** of the device, or
* **Explicit consent** from the user of the device

You must comply with **local laws** regarding monitoring, consent, and data privacy.

> ⚠️ Unauthorized use may be illegal in your country.

***

#### ❓ **Do I need to have physical access to the target device to install the app?**

\
Yes. Installation of the app requires **direct physical access** to the target device. This is necessary because the installation process involves granting system-level permissions (such as access to location, calls, and storage), which cannot be completed remotely.

For example:

* **Parents**: If your child is at school, please wait until you have the child’s phone in hand before installing the app and enabling its features.
* **Companies**: If you are an IT administrator, you must have the company-owned device in hand during setup to ensure permissions are granted transparently.

⚠️ Remote or covert installation without possession of the device is **not supported** and may be considered unlawful in many jurisdictions.

For further guidance, please review our **Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)**.

#### 🔍 What makes the Agent app **not spyware**?

✅ **User consent**

* The **Agent** app is designed to be used **on devices you own or have legal rights to monitor**.
* The installation process **requires whole device access and manual consent**.

✅ **Transparency and documentation**

* It runs **within Android’s permission framework**.

✅ **Not collecting sensitive personal content**

* The **Agent** app does **not access social media accounts**, banking data, or encrypted messaging.
* It only collects system-accessible metadata with user-granted permissions.

***

#### 🚫 What is spyware?

**Spyware** is typically defined as:

* Installed **without user knowledge**
* Operates **completely hidden**
* Uses **root exploits or privilege escalation**
* **Sells or transfers data** without consent

The **Agent** app **does none of these**.

***

#### ⚠️ Why do antivirus tools still flag it?

Security tools (like Play Protect or antivirus apps) may flag any app that:

* Accesses sensitive data
* Runs persistently in the background
* Communicates with remote servers

This is based on **behavior**, not actual malicious intent.\
Legitimate parental control, employee monitoring, or device management apps may trigger similar warnings.
