Privacy Policy

Decibel Studios built the Sleeping Sounds : White Noise app. This SERVICE is provided by Decibel Studios at no cost and is intended for use as is.

This page is used to inform visitors regarding our policies with the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information if anyone decides to use our Service.

If you choose to use our Service, then you agree to the collection and use of information in relation to this policy. The Personal Information that we collect is used for providing and improving the Service. We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.

The terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions, unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy.

Information Collection and Use

For a better experience, while using our Service, we may require you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information. This information is retained on your device and is not collected by us in any way.

The app does use third-party services that may collect information used to identify you.

Device Permissions

The app may request the following device permissions to provide its core functionality:

Advertising and Consent (AdMob & Google UMP)

Non-premium users see advertisements served by Google AdMob. Premium users do not see any ads, and the ad SDK does not request data for them.

To serve ads, AdMob and its partners may process information including your advertising ID (AD_ID), IP address, approximate location derived from IP, device and browser identifiers, app activity (which screens an ad was shown on), and basic device characteristics. The full list of third-party ad partners that may receive this data is published and maintained by Google here: https://support.google.com/admob/answer/9012903.

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, or a US state with applicable privacy law, on first launch the app shows a consent form managed by Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP). The form asks whether you consent to personalized advertising and to the third-party data processing described above.

You can change your ad-personalization choice at any time. Inside the app, open Settings → Help & FAQ → EU Privacy Options to re-open Google's consent form and update your selections. This entry is only displayed in regions where the consent form applies. The choice you make there takes effect on subsequent ad requests.

Personal Recordings

The in-app Recorder lets you capture your own ambient sound through the device microphone and play it back as part of your sound mix. Recording starts only when you tap the record button on the Recorder screen and only after you grant the microphone permission.

Recordings are saved as .m4a audio files inside the app's own internal storage (filesDir) on your device. Nothing recorded through this feature is uploaded to Decibel Studios, Google, or any third party. You can delete an individual recording from the Recorder screen at any time; uninstalling the app removes every recording along with all other app data.

In-App Purchases

The app offers in-app purchases (Premium Monthly, Premium Yearly, and Premium Lifetime) through Google Play Billing. All payment processing is handled by Google Play. We do not collect, store, or have access to your payment information.

Log Data

We want to inform you that whenever you use our Service, in a case of an error in the app, we collect data and information (through third-party products) on your phone called Log Data. This may include information such as your device’s IP address, device name, operating system version, configuration of the app, time and date of usage, and other statistics.

Cookies

This Service does not use cookies explicitly. However, the app may use third-party code and libraries that use cookies to collect information and improve their services. You can choose to accept or refuse these cookies and be notified when a cookie is being sent to your device.

Service Providers

We may employ third-party companies and individuals for the following reasons:

These third parties have access to your Personal Information to perform the tasks assigned to them on our behalf, and are obligated not to disclose or use the information for any other purpose.

Security

We value your trust in providing us your Personal Information, thus we strive to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. But remember, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
