AuraaByte ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how your information is collected, used, and disclosed when you use our mobile application (the "App").
Bluetooth & Nearby Device Data: The App scans for nearby Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) signals, device names, RSSI (signal strength), and MAC addresses solely to display available devices and calculate proximity. This scanning data remains on your local device and is not transmitted to our servers.
Location Data: To perform Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) scanning, Android requires Location permissions (ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION / ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION). The App uses this permission strictly to enable device discovery and optional map viewing. We do not store or track your continuous physical location history on any external servers.
Audio Input: If you use optional real-time Bluetooth mic or streaming features, microphone access (RECORD_AUDIO) is used solely for live transmission and is never recorded, saved, or uploaded.
When you use the App, third-party service providers (such as advertising networks and analytics tools) may automatically collect certain device information to serve ads and analyze app stability:
Device Identifiers: Google Advertising ID (AD_ID), IP address, device manufacturer, model, operating system version, and unique device identifiers.
App Usage Data: Crash logs, session duration, and ad interaction metrics.
The App integrates trusted third-party SDKs to provide core features, ad monetization, and map integration. These third parties collect and process data in accordance with their respective privacy policies:
Google Play Services & Google Maps: Google Privacy Policy
Google AdMob: Google AdMob Privacy & Terms
AppLovin: AppLovin Privacy Policy
Meta Audience Network: Meta Privacy Policy
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
To facilitate Bluetooth device discovery, signal tracking, and proximity detection.
To display relevant advertisements (via Google AdMob, Meta, and AppLovin).
To diagnose technical crashes, monitor app performance, and maintain service stability.
To comply with Google Play Developer Program Policies and applicable legal obligations.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. Data is shared only with:
Service Providers: Third-party ad networks and analytics platforms as described in Section 2.
Legal Compliance: When required by law, regulation, or legal process to protect our rights or the safety of users.
