1. INTRODUCTION & SCOPE

Welcome to SoundPulse ("Application", "we", "our", or "us"). We respect your fundamental right to privacy and are committed to ensuring total transparency and security regarding hardware sensor usage.

This Privacy Policy governs your use of the SoundPulse mobile application on Android devices in full compliance with Google Play Developer Policies, GDPR, and CCPA.

2. STRICT REAL-TIME AUDIO PROCESSING & ZERO DATA COLLECTION

SoundPulse is built on a strict Privacy by Design architecture. We DO NOT collect, store, monetize, record, or transmit any audio data or personal information.

Specifically:

• Microphone Sensor Usage: The microphone sensor is accessed strictly in real-time solely to calculate instantaneous sound pressure amplitude levels (decibels). Audio streams are processed in temporary volatile memory (RAM) and are NEVER recorded, NEVER written to disk, and NEVER transmitted over any network.

• Zero Voice or Audio Harvesting: SoundPulse cannot and does not record conversations, voice data, background audio, or ambient speech.

• Personally Identifiable Information (PII): We do NOT collect names, physical addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, or account details.

• Unique Hardware Identifiers: We do NOT track or store Android Advertising IDs (AAID/GAID), IMEI numbers, or MAC addresses.

• Telemetry & Interaction Logs: We do NOT track button clicks, screen sessions, measured decibels, or frequency selections.

• Location Data: We do NOT request or access GPS coordinates, Wi-Fi location, or network cell data.

3. DEVICE PERMISSIONS

SoundPulse operates with an absolute minimum permission footprint:

• Audio / Microphone: Used strictly for real-time sound amplitude calculation on your physical hardware. Audio is processed locally and discarded immediately.

• Vibration: Used solely on-device for tactile haptic feedback during tone generation and controls.

• Offline Execution: The application operates completely offline. No data ever leaves your device.

4. LOCAL DATA STORAGE

Any session metrics, tone generator presets, or user preferences are stored solely within the device's isolated local application sandbox storage. You retain 100% control, and this data can be cleared at any time by clearing application data or uninstalling the app.

5. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES & ADVERTISING

SoundPulse contains NO third-party advertising SDKs, NO external analytics, and NO user-tracking frameworks. Your acoustic environment remains 100% confidential.

6. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

The Application complies with global privacy standards, including COPPA. Since zero personal data or recordings are collected, SoundPulse is completely safe for all audiences.

7. POLICY GOVERNANCE & MODIFICATIONS

This policy is governed under standard zero-collection frameworks. Any future updates or modifications will be reflected directly in app release updates.
