1. Content Rating Questionnaire (Play Console)
Category Selection
- Primary: Utilities
- Secondary: Security / Data Protection
Questionnaire Responses
| Category | Answer | Justification |
|---|---|---|
| Violence | None | No violent imagery, descriptions, or references in any screen. Security alerts are factual and informational. |
| Sexual Content | None | No sexual themes, nudity, imagery, or suggestive content anywhere in the app. |

| Drugs / Alcohol / Tobacco | None | No references to any controlled substances. |
| Gambling | None | No gambling mechanics, simulated gambling, or references. |
| Fear / Horror | None | Security alerts and threat scores present factual risk information without graphic or fear-inducing imagery. UI uses clean gauge-style indicators and professional language. |

| User-Generated Content | Not present | The app does not currently support user-generated content. Watchlist items, property entries, and voice enrollments are private to the user account only. |

3.2 Regional Content Ratings
| Region | Rating Required | Expected | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Play (Global) | IARC questionnaire | Everyone | Selected category: Utilities |
| South Korea (GRAC) | Required for all apps | All (전체) | Security utility, no objectionable content |
| Brazil (ClassInd) | Required for all apps | Livre (General) | No age-restricted content |
| Germany (USK) | Via IARC | 0 (All ages) | No restricted content |
| Japan (CERO) | Via IARC | A (All ages) | No restricted content |
| Australia (ACB) | Via IARC | G (General) | No restricted content |
Note: The IARC (International Age Rating Coalition) questionnaire in Play Console automatically generates ratings for all supported regions based on a single questionnaire submission. Since Kordant has no violence, sexual content, drugs, gambling, or fear content, all regional ratings will default to the lowest (most permissive) age rating.
4. Parental Controls Assessment
Since the expected rating is Everyone (not Teen), parental controls are not required. However, if the team wishes to default to a Teen rating:
- No feature in Kordant warrants a Teen rating
- Security alerts are factual, not graphic
- Voice analysis is technical
- No social features, chat, or UGC
Recommendation: Proceed with Everyone rating. No parental controls needed.
5. Data Collection Inventory (for Play Console Data Safety Form)
The following data types are collected by Kordant, which must be declared in the Data Safety form:
| Data Type | Collected? | Purpose | Shared? | Encrypted? | Required? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Name | ✅ | Account creation, personalization | No | Yes (EncryptedSharedPrefs) | Yes |
| ✅ | Account creation, notifications | No | Yes (EncryptedSharedPrefs) | Yes | |
| Phone number | ✅ (optional) | Call screening features | No | Yes (EncryptedSharedPrefs) | No |
| User IDs | ✅ | Account identification | No | Yes (EncryptedSharedPrefs) | Yes |
| Device token | ✅ | Push notifications (FCM) | To Firebase | In transit (TLS) | Yes |
| Voice recordings | ✅ | VoicePrint analysis | No | Yes (EncryptedSharedPrefs) | No |
| Phone numbers (third-party) | ✅ (optional) | SpamShield number checking | To backend API | In transit (TLS) | No |

| Watchlist items | ✅ (optional) | DarkWatch monitoring | No | In transit (TLS) | No |
| Application install info | ✅ | Security checks | To Crashlytics | In transit (TLS) | Yes |
| Network state | ✅ | Connectivity status | No | Not stored | Yes |
| Biometric status | ✅ (optional) | Authentication preference | No | Yes (EncryptedSharedPrefs) | No |
App does not:
- Sell user data
- Share data for targeted advertising
- Track users across apps/sites
- Collect location data
- Collect contacts
- Collect SMS/MMS data
- Access photos/media
6. User-Generated Content (UGC) Assessment
Current status: Kordant does not support user-generated content in the traditional sense (public posts, comments, media uploads, or social feeds).
Types of user data that could be considered "generated":
- Watchlist items (emails, names) — private to user account only
- Property addresses — private to user account only
- Voice enrollment samples — private to user account only
- Spam rules — private to user account only
Moderation: Not required because:
- All user data is private to the authenticated account
- No public sharing or publishing features
- No social/interpersonal features
- No comments, forums, or profile pages visible to other users
Future consideration: If family group features are expanded to include inter-user visibility, implement:
- Automated content moderation for names/labels
- Reporting mechanism for inappropriate family member activity
- Ability to remove/block family members
7. Internal Content Audit Document
All User-Facing String Content (from strings.xml)
Category analysis:
- App naming & branding: "Kordant" — neutral, brand-appropriate
- Feature names: Dashboard, DarkWatch, VoicePrint, SpamShield, HomeTitle, RemoveBrokers — technical/security focused
- Widget labels: "Threat Score", "Low Risk", "Medium Risk", "High Risk", "Critical" — factual risk levels
- Permission rationale: "Stay Protected", "VoicePrint Access", "Call Screening", "Auto Block Spam" — security utility descriptions
- Notification channels: Security Alerts, Exposure Warnings, Scan Complete, Family Activity, Marketing, System — informational
- Accessibility labels: All labels are descriptive and neutral
- Action labels: View Details, Dismiss, Mark Safe, Share, Reply, Snooze — functional
Findings: All strings are appropriate for Everyone rating. No profanity, violence, gore, or sexual references.
UI Component Content Review
Verification method: Manual review of all screen composables in:
ui/screens/auth/ui/screens/dashboard/ui/screens/onboarding/ui/screens/services/ui/screens/settings/ui/screens/voiceprint/ui/components/notification/
No inappropriate content found. All screens use professional terminology appropriate for a security/productivity utility.
