Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 28, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how this application for iPhone, iPad and Mac (the "App", "we", "us", or "our") handles your information. It applies to every version of the App; where a version behaves differently, this policy says so. Please read it carefully. By using the App, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Summary

• The App works on your device. Your audio files and projects stay on your device.
• We do not operate accounts or logins, and we do not run a server that collects your files.
• Purchases are handled by Apple; we never see your payment card details.
• We use Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how the App is used.
• On iPhone and iPad, the free version shows ads supplied by Google AdMob. The App does not ask for permission to track you, so ads are not personalised using an advertising identifier.
• The Mac version shows no ads.
• Subscribing to Pro removes all ads.

2. Who We Are

The App is independently developed (referred to here as "we"). The best way to reach us is by email: appqueries.desk@yahoo.com.

3. Information We Collect

Audio and project data. Audio you import, record, or edit — and the projects you create — are stored locally on your device. This content is not uploaded to us.

Files you choose (Mac). The Mac version runs in Apple's App Sandbox. It can only open the files you pick in an Open panel or drag onto its window, and can only save where you choose in a Save panel.

No account information. The App has no sign-up or login. We do not ask for your name, email, phone number, or location.

Analytics data. We use Google Analytics for Firebase (provided by Google) to understand how the App is used and to improve it. It may collect device and usage information — such as in-app events, device model, operating system, app version, language/region, a Google-generated app-instance identifier, and coarse (country-level) location derived from IP address. This information is processed by Google under its own policies. We do not use it to serve ads, and we do not sell your personal data.

Advertising data (iPhone and iPad). In the free version on iPhone and iPad, Google AdMob collects data needed to serve and measure ads — including a device identifier, ads you were shown and interacted with, coarse (country-level) location derived from IP address, and diagnostic data such as crash and performance information. See section 6 below.

4. Device Permissions

The App asks for these only when you use the related feature. You can change them at any time: on iPhone and iPad in the Settings app, and on Mac in System Settings → Privacy & Security.

• Microphone (all devices) — to record audio for your projects.
• Speech Recognition (all devices) — for the Transcript feature; runs on your device where supported, so your audio does not leave the device.
• Media & Apple Music (iPhone and iPad only) — only if you import a song from your library.
• Local Network (iPhone and iPad only) — only for Wi-Fi Transfer, to receive files from a computer on the same network.

5. Purchases & Subscriptions

The App offers an optional "Pro" auto-renewable subscription. All purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive or store your payment card details. Apple may share limited, non-identifying transaction information so the App can unlock Pro features. A subscription works on iPhone, iPad and Mac when you use the same Apple Account.

6. Advertising (iPhone and iPad only)

The free version of the App on iPhone and iPad shows ads served by Google AdMob:

• a full-screen ad after the launch screen;
• occasionally, a full-screen ad when you finish a task such as closing a project or completing an export;
• optional rewarded video ads: some Pro tools offer "Watch an ad to use once". These play only when you choose to watch one, and each completed ad unlocks that tool for a single use.

Purchasing a Pro subscription removes all ads immediately. The Mac version of the App shows no ads and contains no advertising software.

No tracking permission is requested. The App does not present Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt and does not access your device's advertising identifier (IDFA) for cross-app tracking. Ads are therefore served on a non-personalised, largely contextual basis, and measured using Apple's privacy-preserving SKAdNetwork framework.

To serve, cap the frequency of, and measure ads, Google may process:

• a device or app-bounded identifier;
• advertising data — which ads were shown, viewed, or tapped;
• coarse, country-level location derived from your IP address;
• diagnostic and performance data, such as crashes and app responsiveness.

This information is processed by Google as an independent controller under the Google Privacy & Terms. You can review Google's advertising practices and available controls at policies.google.com/technologies/ads. On iPhone and iPad you can also limit ad tracking system-wide in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

Ads are rated G (general audiences). We do not knowingly direct advertising to children — see section 9.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell your information. Data is processed by Apple (App Store purchases and, where applicable, speech recognition) and Google (Analytics for Firebase on all devices, and AdMob advertising in the free version on iPhone and iPad) under their respective privacy policies:

• Google Privacy Policy: policies.google.com/privacy
• How Google uses data from apps that use its services: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
• Apple Privacy Policy: apple.com/legal/privacy

8. Data Retention & Deletion

Your projects and audio remain on your device until you delete them in the App or uninstall it. Analytics and advertising data are retained by Google according to its policies.

9. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Advertising served in the App is limited to a G (general audiences) content rating.

10. Security

Your content is stored within the App's private storage on your device, protected by iOS, iPadOS or macOS (on Mac, inside the App Sandbox). Wi-Fi Transfer on iPhone and iPad is limited to your local network and protected by a PIN. No method of storage or transmission is 100% secure.

11. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data. Because the App does not collect personal data on our servers, the most direct way to manage your data is within the App or your device settings. Questions: appqueries.desk@yahoo.com.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time and will revise the "Last updated" date above. If we add features that change how data is handled, we will update this policy before or when those features become available.
