1. DATA COLLECTION AND PROCESSING

The Perfect Sound ("we", "our", "the app") is committed to protecting your privacy and complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This application does NOT collect, store, or process any personal data from users.

2. LOCAL DATA STORAGE

All application data, including:

  • Audio profiles and equalizer settings
  • User preferences and configurations
  • Custom audio profiles
  • Device-specific audio settings
  • Premium license status

are stored exclusively on your local device and are never transmitted to external servers or third parties.

3. IN-APP PURCHASES AND BILLING

Our app offers premium features through Google Play Billing:

  • Purchase transactions are processed securely by Google Play Store
  • We do not store or have access to your payment information
  • Google Play handles all payment processing, refunds, and billing inquiries
  • Premium license verification is performed locally through Google Play Billing API
  • No personal or financial data is transmitted to our servers during purchase verification

4. PERMISSIONS USAGE

Our app requires certain permissions to function properly. Here's why each permission is necessary:

  • INTERNET: Required to download pre-made AutoEQ profiles from our public repository (GitHub) and for Google Play Billing license verification. No personal data is transmitted during these operations.
  • ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Used to check internet connectivity before attempting profile downloads and license verification.
  • BLUETOOTH & BLUETOOTH_CONNECT: Necessary to detect connected Bluetooth audio devices (headphones, speakers) and automatically apply appropriate audio profiles.
  • MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS: Essential for applying audio enhancements and equalizer settings to your device's audio system.
  • USB_PERMISSION: Required to detect and configure USB audio devices (DACs, USB headphones).
  • FOREGROUND_SERVICE & FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBOOK: Allows the app to maintain audio processing in the background while you use other apps.
  • POST_NOTIFICATIONS: Used to display service status notifications (Android 13+).
  • REQUEST_IGNORE_BATTERY_OPTIMIZATIONS: Prevents the system from stopping audio processing to save battery.
  • BILLING: Required for processing in-app purchases and premium license verification through Google Play Billing.

5. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

This application uses the following third-party services:

  • Google Play Services and Google Play Billing for in-app purchases and license verification
  • These services have their own privacy policies and terms of service
  • We do not control or have access to any data that these services may collect

6. DATA SHARING

We do NOT share any data with third parties. The app operates entirely offline except for:

  • Optional download of public AutoEQ profiles
  • Google Play Billing transactions and license verification

7. YOUR RIGHTS UNDER GDPR

Since we do not collect personal data, most GDPR rights are not applicable. However, you have the right to:

  • Uninstall the application at any time
  • Contact us with privacy-related questions
  • Manage your Google Play purchases through your Google account

8. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

The Application is not used to knowingly solicit data from or market to children under the age of 13. Since we do not collect any personal information, there is no risk to children's privacy. In-app purchases require parental approval for accounts under 18.

9. SECURITY

Since the Application does not collect any information, there is no risk of your data being accessed by unauthorized individuals. All settings are stored locally on your device. Premium license verification is handled securely through Google Play's encrypted APIs.
