Security Features Built into DeepSeekWidget

This widget is designed with privacy and security as core principles. Here's what's already implemented:

  • Zero data collection – No analytics, no telemetry, no cloud calls. The widget is a pure router.
  • Runtime permissionsCAMERA and RECORD_AUDIO are requested only when the user taps the respective button, never in the background.
  • FileProvider – Camera images are shared using Android's FileProvider with scoped storage. No raw file paths are exposed to other apps.
  • Intent security – All PendingIntents use FLAG_IMMUTABLE (Android 12+ compliant). Unique request codes per widget instance prevent intent collision.
  • No background services – The widget has zero background processes. It only wakes when tapped, so no battery drain and no unexpected data transmission.
  • Local‑only storage – Any temporary files (e.g., camera images) are stored in the app's private external storage directory and deleted after use.
