Privacy Policy for MuteMe

Last Updated: August 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to MuteMe. MuteMe is a Delayed Auditory Feedback (DAF) utility application designed to demonstrate the cognitive "Speech Jammer" effect. By utilizing real-time audio processing, the app introduces a slight delay to the user's voice and routes it back to their headphones, aiming to disrupt the standard speech cycle.

This Privacy Policy outlines our strict guidelines regarding your data. Simply put: We do not collect, store, or share any of your personal data.

2. Microphone Usage and Audio Data

To function correctly, MuteMe requires access to your device's microphone.

• Real-Time Processing Only: The audio captured by your microphone is processed strictly in real-time, locally on your device's hardware using Apple's native audio frameworks.

• No Recording or Storage: We do not record, save, log, or store any of your voice or audio data. The audio stream is instantly discarded after the delay effect is applied.

• No Cloud Transmission: Your audio data never leaves your device. It is never transmitted to our servers, Apple's servers, or any third-party services.

3. Data Collection and Tracking

MuteMe is built with absolute privacy in mind.

• We do not require you to create an account.

• We do not collect analytics, crash logs, or usage statistics.

• We do not use cookies, trackers, or any third-party SDKs that monitor user behavior.

• We do not collect device identifiers, IP addresses, or location data.

4. Third-Party Services

MuteMe is a fully standalone application. It does not integrate with any external databases, advertisement networks, or third-party analytics tools. What happens on your device, stays on your device.

5. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. However, our core philosophy of zero data collection will not change. Any updates will be reflected within the app and on this page.
