How could I translate "decoy safe". As if an iPhone application, created to protect some important data, was decoy safe.

Besides lure, decoy can also mean mislead or fool. Based on the sentence you gave, I believe that we're talking about a safe that leads nosy intruders away from the real data stored in the phone. Thus, in my opinion, it is not a lure but an illusion. The same method is used by some companies to protect their data from hackers.
