At Mute Marker, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we ensure its safety.
Mute Marker provides location-based mute settings, notification management, and safety features, including the ability to notify a guardian, friend, or family member via SMS in emergency situations.
We believe in transparency and user control. You may choose which permissions to grant, and all sensitive features require your explicit consent.
By using Mute Marker, you agree to the collection and use of information as outlined in this Privacy Policy.
Mute Marker requires certain permissions to provide the best user experience. Below is a detailed breakdown of the permissions and their purposes:
ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION & ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
These permissions allow the app to access your device’s location.
Used for location-based features such as muting notifications when entering specific areas (e.g., work, home, library).
We do not track, store, or share your location without your explicit consent.
FOREGROUND_SERVICE & FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION
The app may run in the foreground for continuous location-based muting or safety features.
A persistent notification will be displayed to ensure transparency and inform users when the app is running.
You can disable this service at any time, but some location-based features may not work properly.
INTERNET
Required to fetch data, check for updates, and provide notifications.
No personal data is collected, stored, or shared through this permission.
MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS
Allows the app to adjust your device’s sound settings based on location or time preferences.
ACCESS_NOTIFICATION_POLICY
Allows the app to manage notification settings, including muting or modifying notifications in certain conditions.
POST_NOTIFICATIONS
Used to send app-related notifications, reminders, and alerts to your device.
SEND_SMS (New Feature)
Mute Marker introduces an optional safety feature that can send automated SMS messages to a trusted contact (guardian, friend, or parent).
The user has full control over this feature and must manually enable or disable it in the app’s settings.
The SMS will contain the user’s real-time location and a predefined safety message, which may include:
"I am at [current location]. Please check on me."
"I need help. My location: [current location]."
This feature is specifically designed for:
Women’s safety – Ensuring that female users can quickly alert someone if they feel unsafe.
Emergency assistance – Allowing any user to notify a trusted contact in distress situations.
We do not misuse this permission, and SMS messages are only sent with user consent.
Mute Marker does not store or share SMS content.
Mute Marker only collects minimal user data necessary for the app to function properly:
Location Data
Used only for location-based muting and safety alerts.
Not stored or shared without explicit user permission.
Audio Settings

No voice recording or audio data is collected.
Notifications
Used for reminders, alerts, and app activity updates.
SMS Messaging Data
When enabled, the app will send an SMS to the selected contact(s).
Mute Marker does not store SMS history or recipient data.
We only use your data to provide Mute Marker’s core functionalities:
✔ Automating sound profiles based on location.

We never sell, trade, or misuse personal data.
We do not share your personal information except in the following cases:
Legal Requirements – If required by law to comply with legal processes.
User-Authorized Sharing – If you enable SMS alerts, your location is only shared with your selected contact(s).
We do not store location, SMS, or audio data.
Temporary data (such as active session logs) is deleted automatically after use.

🔒 Encryption – All communication is secure and encrypted.
🛡️ No Third-Party Data Sharing – Your data is not shared with advertisers or external entities.
