Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 16, 2026

dB Guard ("the App") is developed by Muhammad Haris Shahbaz. This Privacy Policy explains how your information is handled when you use the App.

Information We Do Not Collect

dB Guard is designed with your privacy in mind. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. Specifically:

Data Stored on Your Device

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.

Microphone Access

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.

Camera and Photo Library Access

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.

Crash Reporting

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.

Subscriptions and Payments

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.

Third-Party Services

Children's Privacy

dB Guard is not directed at children under the age of 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated revision date.
