This Privacy Policy explains how Krepel Studio handles information when you use TapBeat: Metronome Tempo ("TapBeat", "the App").
TapBeat is an Android metronome designed to help musicians maintain accurate timing and rhythm during practice and performance.
The App is designed to operate primarily offline, process its core functionality locally on your device, and minimize the collection of personal information.
TapBeat stores certain preferences locally on your device to provide its functionality and remember your settings.
These preferences may include:
Selected tempo (BPM).
Selected time signature.
Beat subdivisions and accent settings.
Selected metronome sound and volume.
Count-in preferences.
Keep Screen On preference.
Selected application language.
Light, dark, or system theme preferences.
Other settings necessary for the App's operation.
These settings are intended for local application functionality and are not transmitted to Krepel Studio servers.
TapBeat generates and plays metronome sounds locally on your device.
The App does not require microphone access to produce its metronome sounds.
The Tap Tempo feature determines the tempo from the timing of screen taps rather than microphone recordings.
TapBeat does not record your voice, capture microphone audio, store audio recordings, or upload your musical practice sessions.
TapBeat does not require users to create accounts, register, or provide personal information to access its metronome functionality.
Krepel Studio does not operate a user-account database or cloud synchronization service for TapBeat.
TapBeat uses Android system functionality to provide audio playback and support continued operation when the App is in the background.
The App declares the following permissions:
android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE
Allows TapBeat to operate a user-initiated foreground service when required for active audio playback.
android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK
Identifies the foreground service as a media playback service, allowing an active metronome session to continue when the App is minimized or the screen is locked, subject to Android system restrictions.
During background playback, Android may display media playback controls or an ongoing media notification so users can manage or stop playback.
TapBeat offers an optional Keep Screen On setting.
When enabled, the App requests that Android keep the display awake while the metronome is active and the App is visible.
This feature does not require access to personal information or special Android permissions.
TapBeat's core metronome functionality does not require access to:
Microphone.
Camera.
Precise or approximate location.
Contacts.
SMS or call logs.
Photos, videos, or personal documents.
Broad device storage.
Accessibility Service.
Usage Access.
Application preferences are stored locally using Android application storage mechanisms.
Krepel Studio does not provide a cloud account or remote database for storing your metronome preferences.
Depending on the final application configuration and your Android device settings, eligible local preferences may be included in Android-managed device backups or device-to-device transfers.
Such backups are governed by the applicable Android system and backup provider settings.
Users can manage locally stored application data through Android system settings.
TapBeat is a paid application distributed through Google Play.
The App:
Does not display advertisements.
Does not integrate Google AdMob.
Does not integrate Google User Messaging Platform (UMP).
Does not include in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Does not require users to purchase additional features after installation.
Does not include a developer-operated behavioral analytics or advertising tracking service.
The core metronome functionality does not require communication with a Krepel Studio server.

Google Play independently handles payment processing, applicable refunds, and purchase management.
TapBeat does not integrate Google Play Billing for additional in-app purchases.
Krepel Studio does not collect or store payment card numbers, bank account credentials, or other payment details through the App.
Google's handling of purchase and transaction information is governed by Google's own terms and privacy policies.

TapBeat uses Android system functionality and software components to provide its interface, application settings, and audio playback.
These components may include:
Android Jetpack and AndroidX libraries.
Jetpack Compose.
Android Media3.
Google Oboe audio library.
These components are intended to support application functionality and are not integrated for advertising or behavioral tracking.
Android, Google Play, and device backup providers may independently process information when delivering their respective platform services.
Krepel Studio does not intentionally transmit your locally stored metronome preferences or Tap Tempo input to third-party advertising services.
Krepel Studio does not sell personal information collected through TapBeat.
The App is designed to process metronome settings, rhythm generation, and user interactions locally.
Krepel Studio does not operate a remote service that receives your metronome settings or musical practice data.
Information voluntarily submitted through support communications is handled separately as described below.
If you contact Krepel Studio by email, we may receive information that you voluntarily provide, including:
Your email address.
Your message.
Device or application information you include.
Attachments or screenshots you choose to send.
This information is used to respond to your inquiry, investigate reported problems, and provide technical support.
Support communications may be processed and stored by the email service provider used for correspondence.
We do not use support communications to build advertising profiles or sell personal information.
Application preferences remain locally on your device until they are changed, cleared, or removed.
You can remove locally stored application information by:
Changing available settings within the App.
Clearing TapBeat's application data through Android settings.
Uninstalling TapBeat.
Android backup and restore functionality may affect whether previously backed-up preferences can be restored.
Because TapBeat does not provide user accounts or maintain a Krepel Studio cloud profile, there is no TapBeat account database to delete.
Support correspondence may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries, maintain support records, or comply with applicable legal obligations.
TapBeat is designed to minimize unnecessary data collection.
Local preferences are stored using Android application storage mechanisms and operating-system protections.
Krepel Studio does not operate a server for storing TapBeat users' metronome preferences.
However, no method of electronic storage or communication can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
We take reasonable measures appropriate to the information handled by the App.
You can:
Change your metronome preferences.
Choose your application language and theme.
Enable or disable optional functionality.
Stop background audio playback.
Clear locally stored application data.
Uninstall the App.
Contact Krepel Studio regarding privacy questions.
If you previously provided personal information directly through support communications, you may request access, correction, or deletion where applicable.
Privacy-related requests can be sent to:

Krepel Studio may update this Privacy Policy when the App's functionality, Android permissions, third-party components, data practices, or applicable legal requirements change.
When material changes occur, the updated Privacy Policy will be made available through the official Krepel Studio website.
The "Last updated" date will be revised when appropriate.
