If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, you can contact the developer at:
Microphone Access
Bleepometer uses the microphone only when you manually start a session by pressing the START button.
The microphone is used to recognize speech on your device and count selected words during the active session.
The app does not listen in the background secretly. Recognition stops when you press STOP or when the session is no longer active.
Audio Data
Bleepometer does not save audio recordings.
Bleepometer does not upload audio to any server.
Bleepometer does not share audio with third parties.
Speech recognition runs locally on your device.
Data Collection
Bleepometer does not require an account, registration, login, email address, phone number, name, contacts, photos, files, or payment information.
The app uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. The Google Mobile Ads SDK may automatically collect and share certain information for advertising, analytics, and fraud-prevention purposes. This may include IP address, app and ad interactions, diagnostic information, and device or account identifiers such as the Android advertising ID or app set ID, where available.
An IP address may be used to estimate a device's general location. Bleepometer does not request precise location permission for advertising.
Information handled by Google Mobile Ads is transmitted according to Google's own privacy and security practices.
Advertising
Bleepometer is free to use and is supported by advertisements provided through Google AdMob.
Advertisements may be personalized, non-personalized, or otherwise limited depending on your region, consent choices, device settings, and applicable Google requirements.
Bleepometer does not send microphone audio or recognized speech to AdMob. Audio remains processed locally on your device.
For more information about how Google uses information from apps that use its advertising services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and the Google Privacy Policy.
Consent and Privacy Choices
Bleepometer uses Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) to manage privacy and advertising consent where required.
Depending on your region, the app may show a consent message before requesting ads. You can accept, refuse, or manage the available privacy choices presented by that message.
If Google requires an in-app privacy-options entry point for your region, Bleepometer provides a Privacy choices option so you can review or change your choices later.
Data Sharing
Bleepometer does not sell or rent your microphone audio or session results.
Audio is not sent to Google AdMob or any other server by Bleepometer.
Session results are processed locally on the device and are not uploaded by Bleepometer.
Google may collect and share advertising-related information through the Google Mobile Ads SDK as described above and in Google's policies.
Data Retention and Deletion
Bleepometer does not store audio recordings.
Session results are shown inside the app and are not uploaded to a Bleepometer server.
The app may store limited local preferences on your device, including settings and the completed-session counter used to determine when an advertisement may be shown.
If you want to remove local Bleepometer data, you can clear the app data from your Android device settings or uninstall the app.
Advertising-related data handled by Google is subject to Google's own retention and deletion practices.
Children
Bleepometer is not directed to children.
Security
Bleepometer is designed to process speech locally on the device. Since audio is not uploaded to a server, there is no server-side audio storage for microphone recordings.
Advertising-related data sent by the Google Mobile Ads SDK is transmitted using Google's security mechanisms, including encryption in transit.
