Effective Date: February 11, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Hold the Beat ("the App") handles your information. Our primary goal is to provide a minimalist, secure rhythm training experience where your data remains under your control.
We do not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal information.
Personal Data: The App does not require user accounts, email addresses, or names.
Biometric/Audio Data: Although this is a rhythm app, we do not access your microphone or record any audio.
No Third-Party Analytics: We do not use any external services (like Google Analytics or Facebook SDK) to track your usage patterns or device information.
The App processes timing data in real-time to calculate your "Stability Score."
Memory-Only Processing: Timing offsets are stored in the device's temporary memory (RAM) during a play session to calculate your average score.
Persistent Storage: If the App is updated to include high scores, these will be saved locally on your device using Android DataStore. This data never leaves your phone and is deleted if you uninstall the App.
The App requests specific permissions to enhance your experience:
Vibrate (android.permission.VIBRATE): Used solely to provide haptic feedback when you hit a correct beat.
Internet Access: Used only if you click the "Privacy Policy" or "Contact Us" links to open external web pages or email clients.
The App does not collect any data, making it fully compliant with children's privacy regulations (such as COPPA). It is safe for use by individuals of all ages.
Our "Contact Us" and "Privacy Policy" sections may link to external sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party websites and encourage you to review their policies separately.
If you encounter any issues or have questions regarding this policy, please use the official support channels provided in the App's "Warning" contact tab:
