Privacy Policy for AudioForge

Mobile One Media Services • Effective Date: September 2026

🛡️ The "No Upload" Guarantee (Zero Cloud Audio Storage)

Your media files stay strictly on your device. AudioForge executes all audio transcoding, cutting, trimming, and extraction locally using on-device FFmpeg binaries. Your private recordings, music files, and video stems are never uploaded, streamed, or transmitted to any cloud server.

1. Introduction

Mobile One Media Services ("we," "our," or "us") provides AudioForge as a privacy-first mobile audio editing application. This policy details how user data is handled in full compliance with Google Play Developer Policies.

2. Data We Collect & Cloud Ledger

AudioForge operates under strict data minimization. We only store data necessary to sync and protect your credit balances across devices:

  • App Activity & Ledger Records: Recorded in Google Cloud Firestore (e.g., "Purchased 120 credits," "Rendered MP3: 1 credit").
  • User Identifiers: Your unique User ID (UID) and email address (if linked with Google) via Firebase Authentication.
  • Anonymous Anti-Abuse Device Hash: A one-way, irreversible SHA-256 hash to prevent unauthorized farming of free starter credits. No hardware serial numbers, IMEI, or advertising IDs are collected.

3. Device Permissions & Purpose

  • READ_MEDIA_AUDIO / READ_MEDIA_VIDEO: Strictly used to select source media files you choose to convert or trim.
  • WRITE_SETTINGS: Only requested when you choose "Set as Ringtone, Notification, or Alarm" to assign your trimmed audio to system audio slots.
  • WAKE_LOCK: Ensures long batch conversions and heavy FFmpeg render jobs do not get terminated prematurely by Android battery optimization.

4. In-App Purchases & Payments

We do not collect or store credit card numbers or banking data. All in-app consumable credit transactions are processed directly and securely through Google Play In-App Billing. We only receive an encrypted purchase verification token from Google Play APIs.

5. Zero Advertising & Third-Party Tracking

AudioForge contains ZERO commercial advertisements. We do not integrate third-party ad networks, tracking pixels, or data broker SDKs. We do not sell or monetize personal information.

6. Account Deletion Rights

In accordance with Google Play's User Data - Account and Data Deletion Policy, you may delete your account and associated transaction history at any time:

  • In-App: Tap Drawer > About & Privacy Policy > Delete Account & Cloud Ledger.
  • Web Request: Email [email protected] with subject "AudioForge Account Deletion Request".

All Firebase credentials and cloud transaction logs are permanently erased within 30 days.
