1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how the Android app Audio Editor (the “App”) handles information. The App lets you record your voice, import audio or video files, cut and mix them on a timeline, apply voice effects, an equalizer and other tools, and export and share the result. By using the App you agree to this policy.

2. Microphone and audio

• The App asks for the microphone permission so that it can record voice overs and recordings. You can use the App without granting it, but you will not be able to record.
• Recording, editing, effects, previews and exporting are all done on your device. Your audio is not sent to our servers or to any third party.
• The App records only while a recording screen is open and you have started a recording. It does not record in the background.
• Temporary files made while you work (for example previews) are deleted when you leave the screen.

3. Files you import, edit, save and share

• If you choose to add an audio or video file, you pick it with the Android file picker. The App reads only the file you select. It does not need permission to browse your storage, and it works on a copy kept in its own storage.
• Your projects (the timeline and the audio they use) and your exports are stored in the App’s private storage on your device. Other apps cannot read them.
• If you choose Save, the App copies the exported file to the Download/AudioEditor folder on your device, where you can find it with any file manager. Files saved there are outside the App’s private storage, so other apps that you allow to access your files or downloads may be able to read them. You can delete them at any time with a file manager. Nothing is uploaded.
• If you choose Share, the file is passed to the app you pick in the Android share sheet. What that app does with it is covered by its own privacy policy.

4. Information stored on your device

The App keeps a few small settings on your device only: your chosen language, your snapping preference, and timing information used to limit how often ads are shown. This information is not sent to us.

5. Permissions

• Microphone: to record audio, as described above.
• Storage (Android 9 and older only): used only when you tap Save, to write the file to the Download folder. On Android 10 and newer no storage permission is needed.
• Internet: only to load ads. Everything else works offline.
• The App does not ask for access to your contacts, camera, photos, location or phone.

6. Advertising (Google AdMob)

The App is free and shows ads through Google AdMob. To show and measure ads, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect and use information such as:

• your device’s advertising ID,
• your IP address and approximate location derived from it,
• device and operating system details (for example model, language and screen size),
• how you interact with ads.

This data is collected and handled by Google under Google’s Privacy Policy. You can see how Google uses data from apps that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Consent: where the law requires it, for example in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, the App shows Google’s consent message the first time ads would be shown and only requests ads according to your answer. You can review or change your choice later in the App by tapping the language icon on the Home screen and selecting Ad privacy settings. That option appears only in regions where it is required.

Your choices: on Android you can reset your advertising ID or opt out of ads personalization in Settings → Google → Ads (the exact path can vary by device).

7. What we do not collect

• We do not ask you to create an account.
• We do not collect your name, email address, phone number or precise location.
• We do not upload, store or listen to your recordings, projects or exports.
• We do not sell your personal information.

8. Data retention and deletion

Because your audio stays on your device, you control it. You can delete a project from the Home screen and an export from the Exports screen at any time, and uninstalling the App removes all of its data from your device. We do not hold any of your data on our servers, so there is nothing for us to delete. For data held by Google AdMob, see Google’s policy linked above.

9. Children’s privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us and we will help.

10. Security

Your audio is kept in the App’s private storage (or in the folder you chose by tapping Save) and is not transmitted by the App, which keeps the risk low. No method of electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the effective date at the top of this page. Please check back occasionally.
