Privacy mode by default
Diagnostic reports can partially redact sensitive identifiers so a report remains useful without exposing full values unnecessarily.
Trust and data handling
Collect what helps. Avoid what does not.
SAD-B-D-M-T is designed to support Android troubleshooting without casually sweeping personal content into a diagnostic export. Device owners should remain in control of what they back up and what they share.
Collection manifest
The report explains the data categories captured during the diagnostic scan and the personal-content categories intentionally excluded.
User-controlled backup
Backup is a separate deliberate action. The user selects a destination on the Windows PC and chooses which common folders to copy.
Diagnostic reporting is not a personal-content backup
The diagnostic scan focuses on device, system, storage, connectivity, telephony, package, battery, thermal, and logging context. It is not intended to package the user's photos, videos, documents, text-message contents, contacts, browser history, passwords, or account credentials.
Always inspect a generated report before sending it to a repair shop, carrier, manufacturer, or any other recipient.
Content categories intentionally excluded from the diagnostic report
- Photos and videos
- Text-message contents
- Contacts and address-book entries
- Personal documents
- Browser history
- Passwords, authentication tokens, and account credentials
Local desktop workflow
The current prototype runs as a Windows desktop application. Diagnostic files and folder backups are exported to locations selected on the user's PC. Users should store, review, and share those files carefully.
Review before sharing
Open the TXT report and review the ZIP contents before sending them to another person.
Use trusted recipients
Send diagnostic packages only to recipients who genuinely need them for the support request.
Delete old exports when finished
Remove old diagnostic packages and backups when they are no longer required.
