This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the MeshEQ Android application.

1. Overview

MeshEQ is an Android audio equalizer and sound-processing utility designed to apply supported audio effects to compatible Android audio paths.

MeshEQ is designed with privacy in mind. Most application information, including your equalizer settings, presets, profiles, and preferences, is stored locally on your device.

MeshEQ does not sell personal information.

MeshEQ does not contain third-party advertising.

MeshEQ does not use your information for behavioral advertising or targeted advertising.

MeshEQ does not record, capture, upload, or store the audio that you listen to.

Limited Internet communication is used where necessary for Google Play subscription services, application-integrity checks, and MeshEQ access verification.

2. Audio and Listening Activity

MeshEQ uses Android audio-effect functionality to apply equalization and supported sound effects to compatible audio sessions and output paths.

MeshEQ does not function as an audio recorder and does not require microphone access for its equalizer functionality.

MeshEQ does not upload or transmit the audio being processed.

MeshEQ does not transmit your music, audio files, song titles, listening history, or listening activity to NightShade Amusements as part of its normal equalizer operation.

Android may provide MeshEQ with temporary technical information needed to determine whether supported audio processing can be applied. This information is used only for application functionality and compatibility.

3. Information Stored on Your Device

MeshEQ may store information locally on your device to provide and remember application functionality.

This may include equalizer and effect settings, presets, profiles, user-created names, compatible output preferences, application settings, interface preferences, and other information necessary to restore your MeshEQ configuration.

This information remains within MeshEQ's application storage unless you intentionally choose to export it.

MeshEQ does not require you to create a separate MeshEQ or NightShade Amusements user account.

4. Presets, Profiles, Import, and Export

MeshEQ allows you to create, modify, import, and export presets, profiles, and related application settings.

Import and export functions are initiated by you through Android's file-selection system.

MeshEQ does not automatically scan or upload unrelated personal files on your device.

When you export MeshEQ information, the resulting file is saved to the location you select. Once exported, that file is under your control and remains there until you move or delete it.

If you choose a third-party cloud storage provider or another application as the destination for an exported file, that provider may process the file according to its own privacy policy.

5. Subscriptions and Google Play Billing

MeshEQ may offer paid subscriptions or free trials through Google Play.

Google Play handles payment processing and subscription management.

NightShade Amusements does not receive your complete credit-card number, bank-account information, or other full payment credentials through MeshEQ.

MeshEQ may receive or process limited Google Play subscription information necessary to determine whether you are entitled to access paid features.

This may include purchase or subscription status, entitlement status, trial status, expiration information, and related transaction identifiers.

Google independently processes payment and Google account information according to Google's applicable terms and privacy policies.

6. Subscription and Access Verification

MeshEQ uses Google Play services and secure server-side verification to confirm subscriptions, purchases, free trials, application integrity, and authorized access.

Limited information may be transmitted for this purpose, such as Google Play purchase or subscription information and application-integrity verification data.

This information is used only as reasonably necessary to verify access, maintain subscription status, prevent unauthorized access or fraud, and operate MeshEQ's subscription system.

MeshEQ does not transmit your audio, listening activity, EQ settings, presets, profiles, media files, or device names as part of subscription or access verification.

7. Network and Technical Information

When MeshEQ communicates with Google Play services or MeshEQ's secure verification services, standard technical information associated with an Internet connection may be processed automatically.

This may include information such as an Internet Protocol address, request timing, connection information, security information, and technical information needed to operate or protect the service.

This information is not used by NightShade Amusements for behavioral advertising or to create advertising profiles.

8. Android Permissions and System Features

MeshEQ uses Android permissions and system features only where needed to provide its functionality.

MeshEQ may use Internet access for subscription and access verification.

MeshEQ uses Android audio-setting and audio-effect capabilities to provide supported equalizer and sound-processing functionality.

When MeshEQ is enabled, it may use an Android foreground service so supported audio processing can continue when the MeshEQ screen is not visible.

MeshEQ may request permission to display notifications. Notifications may show MeshEQ's operating status and may provide controls for opening, stopping, or resuming the application.

MeshEQ may respond to a device restart so that it can provide an appropriate user-facing option to resume MeshEQ when applicable.

MeshEQ does not request microphone, camera, location, contacts, SMS, or telephone-call permissions for its normal equalizer functionality.

9. Diagnostics

MeshEQ may maintain limited technical diagnostic information locally on your device to display application status, diagnose compatibility issues, and troubleshoot operation.

Diagnostic information may include application and Android version information, general device model information, controller status, supported effect information, audio-output categories, application state, and technical failure information.

MeshEQ does not automatically upload diagnostic reports to NightShade Amusements.

If MeshEQ provides an option to export diagnostics, the export occurs only when you choose to create the diagnostic file.

Diagnostic exports are designed to exclude unnecessary information such as media content, track information, personal file paths, device names, stable hardware identifiers, and other unrelated personal information.

You decide whether to retain, delete, or share an exported diagnostic file.

10. Advertising and Analytics

MeshEQ does not contain third-party advertising.

NightShade Amusements does not use MeshEQ to build behavioral advertising profiles.

MeshEQ does not use your audio, listening activity, presets, EQ settings, or profiles for advertising.

If this practice changes in a future version of MeshEQ, this Privacy Policy will be updated before the new practice is introduced.

11. Data Sharing

NightShade Amusements does not sell MeshEQ user information.

Information may be processed by third-party services only as necessary to provide requested application functionality.

These services may include Google Play for subscription purchasing and management, Google Play services for application-integrity and entitlement verification, hosting infrastructure used to provide secure access verification, and storage services that you intentionally select when importing or exporting files.

Third-party services process information according to their own terms, privacy policies, and security practices.

12. Data Retention

MeshEQ settings, presets, profiles, preferences, and related application information generally remain on your device for as long as they are needed to provide application functionality.

Subscription-related information may be stored locally for a limited period when necessary to verify or maintain access.

Local information may be deleted when you remove applicable information within MeshEQ, clear MeshEQ's application data through Android Settings, or uninstall MeshEQ.

Files that you intentionally export from MeshEQ are separate from MeshEQ's private application storage and remain wherever you saved them until you delete them.

Google Play and other third-party services may retain information according to their own legal, security, transaction, and service requirements.

13. Your Choices and Data Deletion

MeshEQ does not require a separate MeshEQ account, so there is no separate MeshEQ account that must be deleted.

You can manage locally stored MeshEQ information through the application and through Android.

You may remove user-created presets or profiles where supported, clear local diagnostic information, delete exported files, clear MeshEQ's application data through Android Settings, or uninstall MeshEQ.

Clearing MeshEQ's application data or uninstalling MeshEQ generally removes MeshEQ's private locally stored application information from the device.

Exported files must be deleted separately from the location where you chose to save them.

Google Play purchase, subscription, and payment records are controlled by Google and can be managed through Google Play and your Google account.

14. Data Security

NightShade Amusements takes reasonable measures designed to protect the limited information processed by MeshEQ.

MeshEQ uses Android application-private storage for information intended to remain local to the application.

Network communication used for access and subscription verification is transmitted using encrypted connections.

MeshEQ relies on Google Play services and server-side verification rather than relying solely on locally reported subscription status.

No application, network connection, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

15. Children's Privacy

MeshEQ is a general-purpose audio equalizer and utility application and is not specifically directed toward children.

MeshEQ does not provide public profiles, social networking, messaging, or user-generated-content services.

NightShade Amusements does not knowingly use information from children for targeted advertising or behavioral profiling.

If you believe information relating to a child has been submitted directly to NightShade Amusements and should be reviewed or deleted, contact:

nightshade.amusements@gmail.com

16. Third-Party Services

MeshEQ may rely on services provided by Google, including Google Play, Google Play Billing, Google Play Integrity, and related Google services.

Use of these services may also be governed by Google's applicable terms and privacy policies.

If this Privacy Policy is hosted using Google Sites, visiting the Privacy Policy webpage may also involve processing by Google according to Google's applicable privacy practices.

NightShade Amusements is not responsible for the independent privacy practices of third-party applications, websites, storage providers, or services that you choose to use outside MeshEQ.

17. Changes to This Privacy Policy

NightShade Amusements may update this Privacy Policy when MeshEQ's features, services, data practices, legal requirements, or Google Play requirements change.

When material changes are made, the effective date displayed at the top of this Privacy Policy will be updated.

Users are encouraged to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
