Privacy Policy for CryptoSonus

Last Updated: October 12, 2026

Welcome to CryptoSonus ("CryptoSonus," "we," "our," or "us"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how it is shared, how long we retain it, and the choices available to you when you use the CryptoSonus Android application (the "App").

By creating an account or using CryptoSonus, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

A. Account Information

CryptoSonus requires users to sign in before accessing the App.

Depending on the sign-in method you use, we may collect and store:

• Email address

• Display name

• Profile picture URL, if provided

• Authentication information required to maintain your account

• Account status and subscription status

• Account activity metadata, such as the timestamp of when you last accessed or opened the App ("last active" time)

You may sign in using email/password authentication or supported third-party authentication services such as Google Sign-In.

Authentication and account-related information may be processed using Firebase Authentication.

B. Profile, Preferences, and App Data

To provide and synchronize the App's functionality, we may store information associated with your account, including:

• Selected news categories

• Playback preferences

• App configuration and preferences

• Playlist or saved-content information, where applicable

• Playback-related settings

• Subscription or account status

Where applicable, this information may be stored using Firebase Firestore.

C. Information Collected Automatically

When you use CryptoSonus, the App and integrated third-party services may automatically collect certain technical and usage information.

This may include:

• Device model and manufacturer

• Operating system version

• App version

• General app interaction and usage information

• Session information

• Diagnostic and performance information

• Network and connectivity information

• IP address or other technical information where collected by our services or third-party providers

We use this information to operate, secure, diagnose, and improve the App and its services.

D. Analytics

CryptoSonus uses Google Firebase Analytics to understand how the App is used and to improve its performance and functionality.

Analytics information may include app interactions, session information, device information, and other technical or usage information made available to the Analytics service.

E. Advertising

CryptoSonus may display advertisements to users who do not have an applicable Premium subscription.

The App may use Google AdMob and Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP). Depending on your location, applicable laws, device settings, and consent choices, advertising-related services may process information such as:

• Advertising identifiers, including the Google Advertising ID (AAID)

• IP address

• Device information

• Ad interaction information

• Diagnostic information

• Information used for advertising measurement, fraud prevention, and security

Where required, CryptoSonus requests and manages consent for advertising through appropriate consent mechanisms. Provision of the free tier of service is conditional upon the user's consent to ad-related data processing for personalization and measurement.

F. Purchases and Subscriptions

Premium subscriptions and other in-app purchases are processed through Google Play Billing.

CryptoSonus does not collect or store your full credit card number, bank account number, or other payment credentials used by Google Play.

We may receive purchase-related information necessary to verify your transaction and maintain your subscription, such as purchase status, subscription status, and purchase confirmation information.

Google processes payment information according to its own policies and terms.

G. Local Device Storage

CryptoSonus may store certain information locally on your Android device, including:

• Downloaded audio content

• Playback position and playback state

• App preferences

• Other locally cached application data

Local storage may use Android Room Database and DataStore.

2. News, AI Processing, and Audio Content

CryptoSonus provides cryptocurrency news summaries, market-impact analysis, and audio content.

The content-generation system used by CryptoSonus operates independently from the Android application's user-account system.

Our content-processing system may:

1. Collect or access publicly available cryptocurrency news from third-party sources.

2. Extract and process news information.

3. Use artificial intelligence to generate summaries and general market-impact analysis.

4. Convert generated text into audio using text-to-speech technology.

5. Make resulting audio files available for download and playback through the App.

The Android App does not send your account information, personal prompts, financial information, cryptocurrency holdings, or other user-provided information to this content-processing system for the purpose of generating the news summaries or market analysis.

The news summaries and analysis are generated from news and other information gathered by our content-processing system and are not generated from your personal financial circumstances.

Some technical information may nevertheless be visible to servers used to deliver the audio or other App content, such as network or request information. Such information is handled according to the applicable service's technical and privacy practices.

AI-Generated Content

Some CryptoSonus content, including news summaries, market-impact analysis, classifications, and audio narration, is generated or assisted by artificial intelligence.

AI-generated content may contain:

• Errors

• Omissions

• Inaccurate statements

• Outdated information

• Incorrect interpretations

• Incomplete analysis

CryptoSonus does not guarantee that AI-generated content is accurate, complete, current, or suitable for any particular purpose.

Users should independently verify important information against the original source and other reliable information.

3. How We Use Information

We may use collected information to:

1. Provide and operate CryptoSonus.

2. Authenticate and manage user accounts.

3. Synchronize account preferences and application settings.

4. Provide access to news and audio content.

5. Provide and manage Premium subscriptions.

6. Process and verify in-app purchases.

7. Display advertisements where applicable.

8. Measure and analyze App usage.

9. Diagnose technical problems and improve performance.

10. Detect fraud, abuse, unauthorized access, and security threats.

11. Maintain the security and integrity of our services.

12. Comply with applicable laws and legal obligations.

13. Communicate with users regarding their accounts, subscriptions, security, or important service changes.

We do not use your personal information to generate personalized investment or trading recommendations.

4. Third-Party Services

CryptoSonus uses third-party providers that may process information on our behalf or as independent providers.

These services may include:

Google Play Services and Google Play Billing

https://policies.google.com/privacy

Firebase

Firebase services may include Firebase Authentication, Firestore, and Firebase Analytics.

https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy

Google AdMob and User Messaging Platform

https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

These third-party services may collect and process information according to their own privacy policies and applicable terms.

5. Advertising and Consent

CryptoSonus may display advertisements to users who have not subscribed to Premium.

For users in jurisdictions where consent is required, including the European Economic Area and United Kingdom where applicable, CryptoSonus may use Google's User Messaging Platform to request and manage consent for advertising-related processing.

Depending on applicable law and your choices, advertising may be personalized or non-personalized.

Where supported by the App, you may change applicable advertising consent or privacy choices through the available settings and consent controls.

Value Exchange (Consent or Pay): To support the high costs of generating AI news summaries and market analysis, CryptoSonus provides a choice:

1. Users may provide consent for personalized advertising to access the App for free.

2. Users who prefer not to consent to such data processing may purchase a Premium subscription to access the App without advertisements and associated tracking.

Access to the free version of the App will be restricted in certain jurisdictions if required consent is not provided.

A Premium subscription removes third-party advertising from the App.

6. Data Sharing

We may share or permit access to information with service providers that help us operate CryptoSonus, including providers supporting:

• Authentication

• Cloud storage

• Analytics

• Advertising

• Subscription and purchase processing

• Security and fraud prevention

• Technical infrastructure

We do not sell your personal information as a standalone product.

We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with applicable laws or legal processes

• Respond to lawful requests from public authorities

• Protect the rights, property, or safety of CryptoSonus, our users, or others

• Detect, prevent, or investigate fraud, abuse, or security incidents

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate your account and provide the App, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Certain information may be retained for legitimate purposes such as:

• Security

• Fraud prevention

• Legal compliance

• Accounting and transaction records

• Resolving disputes

• Enforcing agreements

When information is no longer reasonably necessary for these purposes, we will delete it, anonymize it, or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with applicable requirements and our operational practices.

In order to optimize database storage, maintain security, and manage inactive accounts, we log the timestamp of when your account was last active. Accounts that remain inactive for a continuous period of 12 months or longer may be automatically flagged, anonymized, or deleted along with associated personal information.

Third-party providers may retain information according to their own policies and contractual or legal obligations.

8. Account Deletion

You may request deletion of your CryptoSonus account and associated personal information.

You can initiate account deletion from within the App under:

Profile / Account Settings → Delete Account

CryptoSonus also provides an external account-deletion request method through the designated account-deletion web page made available by the Developer.

When an account deletion request is received, we will delete or anonymize associated personal information from our systems, except where retention is required or permitted by law.

Some information may need to be retained for legitimate legal, security, accounting, fraud-prevention, or dispute-resolution purposes.

Information controlled directly by third-party providers, such as Google, may be subject to their own deletion and retention procedures.

9. Permissions Used by CryptoSonus

CryptoSonus may use the following Android permissions:

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

These measures may include:

• Encryption in transit

• Secure authentication mechanisms

• Firebase security controls

• Access controls

• Security monitoring and other reasonable safeguards

However, no electronic storage system or method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Children's Privacy

CryptoSonus is intended for a general audience interested in cryptocurrency and financial news.

The App is not directed to children under 13 years of age, or the applicable minimum age in jurisdictions where a higher age applies.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.

If we become aware that personal information has been collected from a child in circumstances where such collection is not permitted, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information.

To exercise applicable rights, contact us using the information in Section 14.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to CryptoSonus, our services, third-party providers, legal requirements, or our privacy practices.

When we make changes, we will update the Last Updated date at the beginning of this Privacy Policy.

Where appropriate, we may also provide additional notice through the App.
