Privacy Policy for audio:meter
Effective Date: 2025-09-01
Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how audio:meter ("we," "our," or "the app") handles information when you use our mobile application. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.
Information Collection and Use
Audio Data
Our app requires access to your device's microphone through the RECORD_AUDIO permission solely to provide the core functionality of audio level measurement and visualization.
We do not collect, store, transmit, or share any audio data from your device. All audio processing occurs locally on your device in real-time, and no audio recordings or audio-derived data leave your device or are stored by our application.
Personal Information
We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal information through the audio:meter application. The app does not require user accounts, registration, or any form of personal data input.
Device Information
We do not collect device identifiers, usage statistics, or any other information about your device through our application.
Third-Party Services
Google AdMob
Our app displays advertisements provided by Google AdMob. Google AdMob may collect and process certain information to provide personalized ads and improve their services. This may include:
- Device information (such as device type, operating system version, and unique device identifiers)
- IP address
- Mobile ad identifiers (such as Android Advertising ID)
- Interaction data with advertisements
For complete information about Google AdMob's data collection and processing practices, please review:
You can opt out of personalized advertising by adjusting your device settings:
On Android: Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalization
Data Security
Since we do not collect or transmit any data from the application itself, there is no risk of your personal information being compromised through our app's data handling practices. The microphone permission is used exclusively for real-time audio processing on your device.
Children's Privacy
Our application does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13 years of age. The app's functionality does not require or solicit any personal information from users of any age.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any updates.
Your Rights and Choices
Since we do not collect any personal data through the audio:meter app itself, there is no personal information for you to access, modify, or delete from our systems. For information collected by Google AdMob, please refer to Google's privacy policy for your rights and options.
