Privacy Policy

LAST UPDATED: APRIL 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to the BPM Counter application. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.

2. Microphone Access & Data Processing

To provide core functionality, our application requires specific hardware permissions:

  • Microphone: We request access to your device's microphone strictly to listen to incoming audio and calculate Beats Per Minute (BPM) in real-time.
  • Local Processing: All audio data is processed locally on your device's processor. We DO NOT record, store, or transmit your audio data, voice, or music to any external servers.

3. Advertising (Google AdMob)

We display advertisements provided by Google AdMob to keep the standard version of this application free. Third-party advertising services may use cookies or unique device identifiers to serve ads based on your interests. You can manage your ad personalization preferences directly in your Android device settings.

4. Payments & Subscriptions

If you choose to purchase a premium subscription to remove ads or unlock advanced audio engine features, the transaction is handled entirely by the Google Play Store. We do not collect, process, or store your credit card or billing information on our servers.

5. Analytics & Crash Reporting

We may use anonymous crash reporting tools to understand how the app performs and to fix bugs. This data is strictly technical (e.g., device model, operating system version, error logs) and does not contain any personally identifiable information.

6. Third-Party Services

We utilize the following third-party services that have their own privacy policies:

  • Google Play Services: For billing and application distribution.
  • Google AdMob: For delivering advertisements.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
