The subscription changes below take effect when app version 1.1.0 is released.

VERSION HISTORY

Version 1.0 was described as having no advertising, in-app purchases, subscriptions or third-party analytics/tracking SDKs. Version 1.0.1 is free to use and introduced advertising, AppsFlyer installation measurement and Apphud purchase-status/attribution infrastructure, without offering purchases or subscriptions. Version 1.1.0 introduces optional auto-renewable Premium subscriptions and makes Quick Clean the free mode. The other cleaning modes and sound tools require Premium. The data practices below describe version 1.1.0; earlier versions remain subject to the practices applicable to their features.


1. SOUND TOOLS AND LOCAL DATA

Liquid Wave does not require an account or sign-in. Tone generation, speaker tests and microphone processing take place on your device.


The Sound Meter requests microphone permission to calculate a relative sound level in real time. Microphone audio and level readings are processed in memory; they are not recorded, saved or sent to us or the services below. Denying microphone permission affects the Sound Meter, not the other sound tools.


Settings, onboarding status and cleaning-session history, including your selected preset and self-reported result, are stored locally. The App does not upload that history. Its own diagnostic event logger only prints local console messages in development builds; it does not send those events to an analytics server.


2. ADVERTISING: GOOGLE ADMOB

Version 1.1.0 displays banner and occasional full-screen ads through Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) in the free mode. An active Premium subscription, including an eligible trial, removes the app's advertising. Removing ads does not disable installation measurement or purchase-status processing. Google and its advertising partners may process IP addresses and approximate location inferred from them, device identifiers, ad impressions and interactions, app interactions, and crash or performance information. These data support ad delivery, advertising measurement, analytics, service reliability and fraud prevention. Advertising identifiers and personalized advertising depend on applicable permissions and privacy choices. Available advertising partners and choices are described in the consent message where applicable.

3. INSTALL MEASUREMENT: APPSFLYER

AppsFlyer measures installations and app launches to help us understand how people discover Liquid Wave. It processes an installation identifier, vendor identifier, device and network information, approximate location derived from IP address, launch information and installation attribution. When you allow Apple's tracking permission, the advertising identifier may also be used for advertising measurement. The App does not send its cleaning-session history or microphone data to AppsFlyer.

4. APPHUD

Starting with version 1.1.0, Apphud handles Premium purchase/subscription status, validation and restoration, as well as installation attribution. It creates a pseudonymous user record and processes device and app information, IP address, vendor identifier, and installation attribution received from AppsFlyer, together with the AppsFlyer installation identifier. We pass an advertising identifier to Apphud only when Apple's tracking permission is granted. When you purchase or restore Premium, Apphud processes App Store transaction or receipt records associated with this App, including product identifiers and purchase/subscription status. These records support entitlement access, restoration, fraud prevention and subscription analytics. They are associated with pseudonymous app user and device records. Apple handles billing; the App does not collect your payment-card information.


Purchasing Premium or accepting an eligible free trial requires your confirmation in Apple's purchase flow. Opening the App or including Apphud does not by itself enroll you in a subscription. Version 1.0.1 did not offer purchases or subscriptions.

These services use pseudonymous identifiers even though the App has no sign-in. Such identifiers can link records to an installation or device and can constitute personal data.


5. YOUR PRIVACY CHOICES

Where required, Google's User Messaging Platform presents advertising privacy choices before ads are requested. If Settings shows "Ad Privacy Options," use that entry to review or change those choices.


Apple's tracking request is separate from advertising consent. You can allow or deny it, and change it in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking. Denying tracking prevents this App from obtaining your advertising identifier for tracking. It does not stop all network processing: services may still process vendor or installation identifiers, basic app/device information and non-tracking measurement data, subject to their settings and applicable requirements.


You can revoke microphone permission in iOS Settings. You can remove local app data by deleting the App, subject to system backups. Deleting the App does not cancel an Apple subscription or automatically delete server-side records, and some SDK identifiers may remain in the device keychain. Manage or cancel subscriptions in iOS Settings > your name > Subscriptions.


6. SUPPORT, RETENTION AND RIGHTS

If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you choose to provide to answer your request. Please avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information or microphone recordings.


Service data may be processed outside your country. Provider policies describe their processing and retention practices. We retain support correspondence as needed to handle your request and applicable obligations. Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict processing of personal data, object to certain uses, withdraw consent or complain to a data-protection authority. Contact tarikmaju634@gmail.com to request help; we may need information to locate the relevant record.


If you believe information about a child has been processed inappropriately, contact us at the same address.


7. CHANGES

We will publish an updated policy when these practices change and identify the app versions to which it applies.
