1 Introduction
Welcome to the Noise Meter App (the "App"), developed by Laxoad. We recognize that privacy is significant. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of personal information that is received and collected by our application and how it is used. By using the App, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.
2 Microphone Access & Audio Data
Clarification regarding Audio Recording:
The App requires microphone access solely for the purpose of measuring sound pressure levels (decibels).
- Real-time Processing: Audio input is processed instantly on the device.
- No Storage: No audio data is written to memory or storage.
- No Transmission: No audio data is sent to any server.
- Transient Usage: The data is discarded immediately after the decibel value is calculated.
3 App Permissions Explained
To provide transparency, here is why we request specific permissions:
| Permission | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Microphone | Strictly to measure environmental noise levels (dB). |
| Internet Access | For loading Privacy Policy, analytics, or ads (if applicable). |
4 Data Collection
We explicitly state that we do not collect, store, or share any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) regarding our users (such as names, emails, or phone numbers).
Non-Personal Data: We may collect non-personal identification information whenever you interact with our App (e.g., device name, operating system version) to help us optimize the user experience.
5 GDPR & CCPA Compliance
For EU Users (GDPR)
Although we do not collect personal data, we respect your rights to data privacy. You have the right to access, rectify, or erase any data we might technically hold (e.g., via third-party analytics logs).
For CA Users (CCPA)
We do not sell any personal information. Consumers in California have the right to know what personal information is collected, disclosed, or sold.
6 Data Retention
Since the App does not record audio or create user accounts, we do not retain your data. The real-time audio samples used for measurement are overwritten instantly in the device's volatile memory (RAM) and are never saved to persistent storage.
7 Contact & Amendments
We reserve the right to update this policy. Continued use of the App after changes implies acceptance.
