Privacy Policy
Using the app
This policy covers the iOS and Android apps. Noise Machine generates sound on your device. You do not need an account. The sound generator does not record your microphone or send generated audio to us.
Your sound settings, timer preferences and onboarding status are stored on your device. Device backups and restore settings may also affect these copies. You can reset preferences in the app where available or remove the app's local data through your device controls.
Android analytics and crash reports
The Android app uses Google Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics. These services process installation identifiers, app interactions, device and app information, and crash diagnostics to help us understand use and fix faults. These identifiers can distinguish installations; this information is not necessarily anonymous. Network connections also disclose an IP address to the services receiving them.
The Android app does not offer a separate analytics switch. Device advertising preferences do not turn off Firebase Analytics in the app. Contact us about access, objection or deletion requests.
Purchases
Apple and Google operate the stores that distribute the app. Their privacy policies apply to information you provide to those stores, including any payment details.
Recipients and retention
Google processes Android analytics and diagnostic data. Apple and Google process distribution and any store transactions. Providers may process information outside your country, including in the United States. See Google's Firebase privacy information at https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy and the privacy policy of your app store.
Local preferences remain until you reset or remove them, subject to device backup settings. Firebase Crashlytics retains crash reports and associated identifiers for 90 days before starting removal from its live and backup systems. Analytics retention depends on the project's configured retention settings. Removing the app does not itself delete data already sent to providers. If you contact support, we use the information you send to answer your request and keep the correspondence for follow-up.
Your rights
Depending on applicable law, you can ask to access, correct or erase personal data, restrict its use, receive a portable copy, or object to processing. Where processing relies on consent, you can withdraw it without affecting earlier lawful processing. You can complain to the data protection authority where you live or work. Contact us so we can help identify relevant records without asking you to send unnecessary personal information.
Children
A parent or guardian who is concerned about a child's information should contact us so we can investigate and respond.
Changes and contact
