• Are created from features of your fingertip, converted to a mathematical representation, and then
encrypted and stored only on the phone. No fingerprint images are ever stored.

• Are never shared with other apps. Your phone only shares the verification, not the fingerprint.
Note: A fingerprint screen lock may be less secure than a strong pattern or PIN lock. It is possible to
unlock the phone using a physical copy of a matching fingerprint.
