Last updated: March 18, 2026

1. Who We Are
Developer: Kisoft
Contact email: softierider@gmail.com
2. Information We Collect and Process
A. Microphone audio for clap detection
The App uses your device microphone to listen for clap sounds so it can trigger the phone finder feature.
- Microphone access is used only to detect clap patterns.
- Audio is processed on the device in real time.
- The App is not designed to store, upload, or transmit microphone recordings to us.
B. Motion sensor data processed on the device
The App may use motion-related sensors available on your device, such as the accelerometer or linear acceleration sensor, to reduce false triggers while clap detection is active.
- This sensor data is processed locally on your device.
- We do not use this data to identify you.
- The App is not designed to store or send motion sensor data to us.
C. Notifications
The App may request permission to send notifications so it can show foreground service status and other app-related alerts while clap detection is active.
D. Information you provide directly
If you send feedback through the App, we collect the message you type. Do not include sensitive personal information in feedback messages unless you want us to receive it.
If you voluntarily include contact details, such as an email address, inside your feedback message, we may use that information to respond to you.
E. Information collected automatically by our app services
The App may send limited technical and usage information to our servers, including:
- a generated install identifier;
- app version;
- package/application identifier;
- basic in-app event names, such as taps on certain app actions; and
- feedback submission content.
We use this information to operate the App, understand feature usage, count installs, respond to feedback, and improve reliability.
F. Information stored locally on your device
The App stores settings on your device so your preferences can be remembered, such as:
- whether listening is on or off;
- vibration options;
- ringtone, volume, and repeat settings;
- clap sensitivity and clap count;
- silent override; and
- quiet hours settings.
Depending on your Android device and account settings, some locally stored app settings may also be included in Android backup or device-transfer features controlled by Google or your device manufacturer.
G. Advertising data if AdMob is enabled
If you use a version of the App that includes Google AdMob, Google and its partners may collect or receive certain information from your device for advertising, fraud prevention, measurement, and ad delivery. This may include:
- advertising identifiers, such as the Android Advertising ID;
- IP address;
- device and app information;
- approximate location derived from IP address;
- ad interaction data; and
- diagnostics and performance information.
This advertising-related data is governed by Google's own policies in addition to this Privacy Policy.
3. How We Use Information
We use the information described above to:
- provide the clap detection and phone finder features;
- operate optional vibration, sound, and notification features;
- save your settings and restore your preferences;
- process feedback and respond to support requests;
- understand app usage and improve performance;
- count installs and basic product interactions;
- display ads and measure ad performance, if AdMob is enabled;
- prevent abuse, fraud, and technical misuse; and
- comply with legal obligations.
4. What We Do Not Intend to Do
Except as described in this Privacy Policy:
- we do not sell your personal information;
- we do not use the microphone to store or upload audio recordings for clap detection.
5. Sharing of Information
We may share information in the following cases:
- Service providers and infrastructure providers: to help us operate app services such as install counting, event logging, feedback handling, hosting, security, or technical support.
- Google AdMob and related Google services: if ads are enabled, Google may process data to provide, personalize, measure, and secure advertising in accordance with Google's terms and privacy policies.
- Legal or safety reasons: if required to comply with law, regulation, legal process, or valid government request, or to protect rights, safety, and the integrity of the App.
- Business transfers: if the App or related business assets are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale.
We do not claim control over information collected by third-party services under their own policies.
6. AdMob, Consent, and Advertising Choices
If AdMob is enabled in the App:
- ads may be provided by Google AdMob;
- Google may use device identifiers and similar technologies for advertising and measurement;
- depending on your country or region, you may be shown a consent message before personalized ads are used;
- you may be able to limit ad personalization through your Android device settings or through consent options made available in the App, if implemented; and
- you can learn more from Google's Privacy Policy and AdMob documentation.
If you plan to serve ads to users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, or other regions with consent requirements, you should make sure your final app build includes an appropriate consent flow before release.
7. Data Retention
We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to operate the App, maintain records, respond to feedback, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with legal obligations.
In general:
- locally stored settings remain on your device until you clear app data, uninstall the App, or your device backup settings remove them;
- install identifiers and basic event records may be retained for analytics and operational purposes;
- feedback messages may be retained as needed to review, respond, and improve the App; and
- advertising partners may retain data according to their own policies if AdMob is enabled.
8. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information processed through the App. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Children's Privacy
The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it where appropriate.
If local law provides a higher minimum age for valid data consent, that higher age standard should apply.
10. Your Choices and Controls
You can:
- grant or deny microphone and notification permissions through your device settings;
- stop using clap detection at any time by turning listening off in the App;
- choose not to send feedback;
- avoid including personal information in feedback messages;
- clear app data or uninstall the App to remove locally stored settings from the device;
- manage advertising preferences through your device or Google settings where available; and
- contact us regarding privacy questions or requests.
11. International Data Transfers
Depending on where you use the App and where our service providers operate, your information may be processed in countries other than your own. Those countries may have data protection rules that differ from the laws in your jurisdiction.
12. Third-Party Services
The App may rely on third-party services, including Google services. If AdMob is enabled, Google may collect and process data under its own privacy terms.
Relevant third-party policies and information pages include:
- Google AdMob: https://support.google.com/admob/
- Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will post the updated version with a revised "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the App after changes become effective means you accept the updated Privacy Policy.
