Ask HN: Privacy aware anti-theft phone apps?

1 points by cyphunk ↗ HN
Recently a friend lost their phone. They did not enable the phone tracking software that came with the phone due to privacy and data security concerns.

Are there any app's that track the phone and before sending to server encrypt the data in a manner only the user can later decrypt (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-to-end_encryption)?

thanks for the recommendation. I couldn't find anything about e2e encryption or encryption before send to server in their documents. Typically this shows up, at least, as a statement indicating that the data is stored on their server in a way that even they are unable to read it.
