dB Guard ("the App") is developed by Muhammad Haris Shahbaz. This Privacy Policy explains how your information is handled when you use the App.
dB Guard is designed with your privacy in mind. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. Specifically:
All data generated by dB Guard, including noise events, measurements, quiet hours rules, and settings, is stored locally on your device. This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to us or any third party.
dB Guard requires microphone access to measure ambient noise levels in decibels. The App does not record, store, or transmit any audio data. The microphone input is processed in real time to calculate sound pressure levels only.
You may optionally attach photos to noise events as evidence. Photos are stored locally on your device and are never uploaded or shared by the App.
The App uses Sentry for crash reporting in production builds. Crash reports may include technical diagnostic information such as device type, operating system version, and stack traces. This data is not linked to your identity and is used solely to improve app stability.
dB Guard offers optional in-app subscriptions processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not have access to your payment information. Subscription management is handled by Apple. Please refer to Apple's Privacy Policy for details on how Apple handles your payment data.
dB Guard is not directed at children under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated revision date.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us at harrihk07@gmail.com.
