Anti-theft services.
Chili Security for Android includes an Anti-Theft feature that helps locate and recover lost or stolen devices. To provide this functionality, we use the location permission on the user's phone or device. This permission allows us to track the device's location and activate anti-theft measures, such as locking the device, sounding an alarm, or wiping the device's data.
At Chili Security, we take our users' privacy seriously, and we only collect and use location data for the specific purpose of anti-theft protection. We do not share this information with third parties or use it for any other purpose.
Accessibility for Web Protection services.

We only use the Accessibility permission for the purpose of providing Web Protection, and we do not collect or use any other data from the user's device. At Chili Security, we are committed to protecting our users' privacy and ensuring that our application's permissions are used only for their intended purpose.
Parental Control Services
Chili Security provides parental control services to help you monitor and restrict your children's activity on supported devices. These services are available through the Chili Security product, and you can activate them by creating an account on our web interface known as Chili Security Central.
To activate parental control services, you will need to provide some basic information such as your child's name, age, and sex. This information is used only to identify the device and determine the default level of online protection offered by our product, which can be customized later.
Once activated, Chili Security may collect information about the use of the device, such as visited websites, search engine keywords, used applications and software, phone contacts, and geo-localization information. This data is collected exclusively for the purpose of providing parental control services and is reported only to you, the parent. We do not use children's information for identification or monitor their internet access.
We do not share this information with third parties for marketing purposes or any other information that could lead to identifying your children. As a technical intermediary, Chili Security is not responsible for notifying your children about the installation of this software or how their personal data is processed. Therefore, the responsibility of informing your children lies exclusively with you.
As the Chili Security account owner, you have full responsibility for assuring that you can undertake the surveillance activity legally and that you have the right to know the location and block content or applications on the device. We recommend activating parental control services only on devices used by minors or where you have the legal right to do so based on applicable laws. Any illegal monitoring of online behavior or communications may be a crime, and we do not recommend activating parental control services on devices used by persons who are over 16 years old or in circumstances where use of the parental control services is illegal.
