Privacy Policy — Soundie

Last updated: July 22, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Soundie (operated by an individual developer) ("we", "us", or "our") handles information in connection with the Soundie mobile application (the "App"). We designed Soundie around a simple principle: your data stays on your device.

1. Summary

• We do not require an account.
• We do not collect, store, or sell your personal data on our servers. We do not operate any servers.
• We do not use advertising networks, analytics trackers, or social media SDKs.
• The App works fully offline. Network access is used only to validate subscription purchases.
• Purchases are processed by Apple; subscription status is validated by our service provider RevenueCat using pseudonymous identifiers.

2. Information Stored on Your Device Only

The following information is created by your use of the App and stored exclusively on your device. It is never transmitted to us:

• Your saved sound mixes, volume/pan settings, and preferences;
• Sleep timer and alarm settings;
• A locally cached record of your subscription status.

You can permanently delete all of this information at any time by deleting the App.

3. Information Processed for Purchases (Third Parties)

If you purchase a subscription:

Apple Inc. processes the payment through your Apple Account. We never receive your name, e-mail address, payment card details, or billing address. Apple's handling of your data is governed by Apple's own privacy policy (https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/).

RevenueCat, Inc. (www.revenuecat.com), our subscription-management provider, processes the minimum data required to validate purchases and maintain your subscription status across app launches:

• a randomly generated, pseudonymous app user identifier (not linked to your identity);
• purchase receipt data provided by Apple (product, price, currency, purchase/renewal dates);
• basic device metadata required for receipt validation (device model, OS version, app version, locale, IP address as an inherent part of internet communication).

RevenueCat acts as our data processor and does not sell this data. See RevenueCat's privacy policy at https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy. This processing is necessary for the performance of the purchase contract (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)) and/or our legitimate interest in preventing fraud and delivering purchased content (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).

We (the developer) can view only aggregated, pseudonymous subscription statistics (e.g., number of active subscribers); we cannot identify you from this data.

4. Information We Do NOT Collect

We do not collect, and the App contains no technology for collecting:

• names, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, or contacts;
• precise or coarse location;
• photos, media, files, microphone, or camera data;
• health data (including sleep data) — the App does not read from or write to Apple Health;
• advertising identifiers (IDFA) or cross-app tracking data;
• usage analytics, crash reports tied to your identity, or behavioral profiles.

5. Notifications

If you set a wake-up alarm, the App schedules a local notification on your device as a backup alarm. Local notifications are generated and delivered entirely on your device; no notification data is sent to us or any third party. You may revoke notification permission at any time in iOS Settings.

6. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since the App collects no personal information, no such data can accumulate; if you believe a child has provided personal data through a purchase flow, contact Apple to manage the transaction and us at the address below.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (including the EU/EEA under GDPR, the UK, California under CCPA/CPRA, and Türkiye under KVKK), you may have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection regarding personal data. Because we do not hold personal data about you, most requests can be fulfilled by:

• deleting the App (removes all locally stored data); and/or
• contacting Apple regarding purchase records; and/or
• contacting us so that we can forward pseudonymous-identifier deletion requests to RevenueCat.

We do not discriminate against users who exercise privacy rights. We do not "sell" or "share" personal information as defined by the CCPA/CPRA.

8. Data Security

Information that stays on your device is protected by your device's own security (passcode, encryption). Purchase validation traffic is transmitted over encrypted connections (TLS/HTTPS). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; to the maximum extent permitted by law, we cannot guarantee absolute security of data processed by third parties.

9. International Transfers

Purchase validation by Apple and RevenueCat may involve processing in the United States and other countries. Such transfers are carried out under the safeguards described in those providers' privacy policies (including, where applicable, Standard Contractual Clauses and/or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework).

10. Data Retention

We retain no personal data. Locally stored data persists until you delete it or the App. Pseudonymous purchase records are retained by RevenueCat/Apple for as long as required for subscription management, accounting, and legal compliance under their respective policies.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, an in-app notice. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy to the extent permitted by law.
