Hardcode Store maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy against malicious software. Any application containing trojans, ransomware, keyloggers, unauthorized SMS billers, hidden coinminers, or privilege escalation exploits will be quarantined instantly, deleted, and reported to cybersecurity threat sharing databases.
Applications published on Hardcode Store must explicitly disclose all permissions requested in AndroidManifest.xml. Exfiltrating contact lists, precise background GPS coordinates, microphone recordings, or clipboard content without explicit user opt-in is strictly forbidden.
Publishing fake applications designed to imitate banking institutions, social networks, cryptocurrency wallets, or Hardcode Group official products is prohibited. Scams involving fraudulent in-app purchases or phishers will result in immediate developer blacklisting.
Every uploaded APK binary is verified against SHA-256 threat signatures and static analysis rules. Violations trigger automated account suspension, hardware IP blacklisting, and notification to registered users who installed the affected package.
