Phone Finder By Clap values the privacy and security of its users. This privacy policy outlines how personal information is collected, used, and protected when using the Phone Finder By Clap app. By accessing and using the app, users agree to the terms outlined in this policy. It is important to review this document to understand the privacy practices associated with using the app.
Phone Finder By Clap does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information to external servers. The app is designed to operate entirely offline, ensuring that all user data remains local to the device. No personally identifiable information (PII), such as names, email addresses, or location data, is collected, processed, or stored by the app. The only permissions requested are related to the app’s functionality, specifically the use of the device's microphone for detecting claps to trigger the phone’s sound and vibration feature.
Recording permissions are required for the app to detect claps accurately. The app uses the device's microphone to listen for the sound of claps, which is necessary for triggering the phone’s sound and vibration. The microphone access is strictly used for this purpose only and is not used to record conversations or capture audio content other than the intended sound of the user’s clap. Once the sound is detected, the app processes this information solely within the device to activate the phone's alert system, which helps users locate their phones.
All data related to the user's interaction with the app is processed locally on the device and is not shared with any server or cloud service. No data is stored, transmitted, or processed outside the user's device. The app does not require an internet connection to function, ensuring that the user's private information remains secure and under their control at all times. The sound effects used to signal the phone are stored locally and can be chosen by the user, allowing for a personalized experience without any data leaving the device.
Phone Finder By Clap also does not require or collect any personal information from users in order to provide its services. Users are not required to create accounts, provide personal details, or participate in any data collection programs. The app’s sole purpose is to provide a quick and easy way for users to locate their phones by clapping, with no involvement of any sensitive or identifiable information. Any sound effects chosen by users are stored only within the app and are not shared with any external parties.
Users can change or modify their sound settings at any time without any impact on their privacy. Sound effects are stored directly on the device and are selected from the available options in the app's settings. There are no ongoing communications with any servers to synchronize or store sound preferences. The app's entire operation, including sound choices and clap detection, remains entirely offline and private, giving users full control over their data and preferences.
The app is designed with a focus on simplicity and ease of use, requiring minimal permissions to function. Users can expect full transparency regarding how their device’s microphone is used. The app will never access the microphone without the user actively using the app. Additionally, users can disable the microphone permission at any time through the device’s settings if they no longer wish to use the clap feature, and the app will cease to function without the microphone access.
In addition to protecting user privacy through data minimization, the app also ensures that no personal files, photos, or media content are accessed or stored. Phone Finder By Clap does not use or interact with the user’s gallery, contacts, or any other personal files on the device. The app only interacts with the microphone for its intended purpose and does not scan or access any other parts of the device. This approach ensures that the app is both functional and non-intrusive to the user’s privacy.
To ensure that the app continues to provide the best possible experience while respecting user privacy, Phone Finder By Clap may collect anonymous usage statistics, but these statistics are aggregated and do not contain any personally identifiable information. These statistics help improve the app’s performance, identify any issues, and refine features, but they are completely disconnected from individual users. The app will not collect or store any information that could identify the user.
Users' privacy is a top priority, and every effort is made to ensure that their personal information remains secure. Since Phone Finder By Clap does not transmit or store personal information on external servers, there is no risk of unauthorized data access or breaches. However, if the privacy practices outlined in this policy change, users will be notified within the app, and they will have the opportunity to review and accept any new terms or policies. The app will continue to operate under the principles of privacy, transparency, and user control.
By using Phone Finder By Clap, users consent to the practices described in this privacy policy. The app will continue to prioritize user privacy and take necessary measures to ensure that all data remains secure and private. Users can contact the support team if they have any questions or concerns about the app’s privacy practices. This policy is subject to periodic updates, and any significant changes will be communicated to users to maintain transparency.
