This Privacy Policy explains how The Sound: Focus, Sleep, Relax ("we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, and protects your data when you use our mobile application.
We collect certain types of data to deliver and improve the app's functionality:
Personal Information:
If the app includes optional features like account creation, feedback forms, or newsletter sign-up, users may be asked to provide personal information such as name or email address. This data is used solely for communication or personalization and will never be sold or shared without consent.
Audio Input (Microphone Access):
The app may request access to your device's microphone for the purpose of analyzing ambient sound in your environment (e.g. background noise level, frequency patterns). This enables us to suggest soundscapes or noise layers that best fit your current surroundings. No audio is recorded, saved, or shared — all analysis is processed in real time on the device or through secure channels.
Device Information:
We may collect basic technical details such as device model, operating system version, app version, and language settings. This information helps us optimize app performance and fix bugs specific to certain devices or systems. You may request assistance with purchase-related issues or refunds by contacting us at splatpublisher84@gmail.com.
Usage Data:
We collect anonymized information about how the app is used — such as feature interactions, session duration, and sound types selected. This data helps us improve user experience, develop new features, and understand user preferences. If required by law (e.g. in the EU), we provide users with the ability to opt out of analytics tracking or limit data collection. You may request this by contacting us at splatpublisher84@gmail.com.
We do not collect:
We do not sell or rent user data under any circumstances.
We may display advertisements through Google AdMob in our app. To do this, Google may collect certain data (such as your device information and advertising ID) to deliver personalized ads or limit ad frequency. This data is processed in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.
Our app offers optional in-app purchases that allow users to access premium features or remove ads. When you make a purchase, payment and billing information is handled securely by the Google Play Store, not by us directly.
We do not collect or store any credit card or payment information on our servers.
Transaction data (e.g. purchase history, subscription status) may be accessed via the app stores' APIs to:
Firebase (Google Analytics & Crashlytics):
We use Firebase by Google to help us understand how users interact with the app, fix crashes, and improve performance. Firebase may collect anonymized data such as device information (model, OS version, language), usage patterns (which screens are visited, session duration), and crash logs. This data is aggregated and does not contain personally identifiable information. It is processed in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.
Google AdMob:
Our app uses Google AdMob to serve advertisements. AdMob may collect and use information such as:
We may allow AdMob to display personalized or non-personalized ads, depending on your preferences. Users in the EU and certain other regions will be prompted to consent to personalized advertising as required by the GDPR.
