2. Data Collection Practices
We prioritize your privacy and only collect data essential to the App’s core functionality. Below is a breakdown of what we gather and how it is used:
A. Device-Resident Audio Data
The App allows users to test and clean speakers by creating or using audio files. All audio-related data—including filenames, file paths, and metadata—remains stored exclusively on your device. This information is never transmitted to Codifier Solutions, third-party servers, or shared with external parties.
B. Analytics for Improvement
To monitor App performance and optimize user experience, we utilize analytics tools (e.g., Firebase Analytics). These tools aggregate anonymized, non-identifiable metrics, such as feature usage patterns and frequency of interaction. This data is used strictly for internal purposes and does not link to your personal identity.

To ensure compatibility with your device, we may collect non-personal technical details, including:
Device model and operating system version

This data is used solely to troubleshoot issues, improve app compatibility, and deliver functionality. It is not combined with personally identifiable information or shared with third parties.
3. Commitment to Compliance
Codifier Solutions adheres to applicable data protection laws, including GDPR and CCPA, to safeguard user privacy. We do not sell or rent your data to third parties.
