Welcome to Sound Meter Pro ("App", "we", "us", or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains our data practices for the Sound Meter Pro application available on the Google Play Store.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By downloading and using Sound Meter Pro, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by all the terms of this Privacy Policy.

4. Data Retention

Measurement data is stored locally on your device indefinitely until you manually delete it. You can clear all app data and history via your device settings:

• Android: Settings → Apps → Sound Meter Pro → Storage → Clear Data

Third-party services (Google AdMob, RevenueCat) retain data according to their own policies.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information. We may share information with:

We may disclose information when legally required by law enforcement or government authorities.

Sound Meter Pro is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete such information and terminate the child's account.

7. Location Data

Sound Meter Pro does not request or use precise location data (GPS). We do not track your location. AdMob may use approximate location (country-level) for ad targeting, which you can control in Google Settings.

8. Security

We implement security measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data.

9. Third-Party Services

Sound Meter Pro uses third-party services that may collect information:

• Google Play Services - analytics and crash reporting
• Google AdMob - advertising

We encourage you to review their privacy policies. We are not responsible for their practices.
