Information Collection and Use

Only section “Sound Meter” data are uploaded to the remote server, without any means of associating them with any User. We do not collecting any information of section “SLM User”.

The Application uses the microphone to read noise levels. There is no audio-recording, nor speech recognition nor any method of obtaining any information about the User or the surrounding discussions.
