Privacy Policy
App: An Hearing Aid
Package name: xyz.devnerd.anhearingaid
Effective date: July 6, 2026
This policy explains what data An Hearing Aid ("the App") collects, how it is used, and who it is shared with. By using the App you agree to the terms below.
1. Microphone Audio
The App uses the device microphone to run a real-time hearing-aid function: audio captured from the microphone is processed (gain, equalization, noise reduction) on-device and played back to your headphones or output device.
- Audio is processed entirely on-device, in real time.
- Audio is never recorded, stored, or transmitted to any server.
- The App requests
RECORD_AUDIOpermission only for this purpose. A foreground service (with a persistent notification) keeps the audio engine running while the app is backgrounded or the screen is off; you can stop it at any time from the notification or the app.
2. Feedback Submissions (Optional)
If you choose to submit feedback, a bug report, or a feature request from within the App, the following is sent to our backend:
| Field | Collected |
|---|---|
| Title / details of the feedback | Always, as entered by you |
| App version, device info | Always, automatic |
| Screenshot / attachment | Only if you attach one |
| Your email address | Only if you enter one, to allow us to reply |
This submission is voluntary — the App does not collect or send feedback data unless you initiate it. Attachments are stored on our cloud storage provider and used solely to resolve the reported issue.
3. Advertising (Google AdMob)
The free version of the App shows ads served by Google AdMob. AdMob may collect an advertising identifier and other data to serve and measure ads, per Google's Partner Sites policy. We do not control what AdMob collects. If you purchase the ad-free / premium option, ads and this data collection stop.
4. Network & Device Information
The App checks network connectivity (Wi-Fi/mobile data availability) to decide when to load ads or submit feedback. No browsing or usage data is collected for this purpose.
5. Data We Do Not Collect
- No account or sign-in is required to use the App.
- No audio recordings are stored or uploaded.
- No location data is collected.
- No contacts, photos, or files are accessed beyond an attachment you explicitly choose to send with feedback.
6. Local Storage
App settings (theme, language, audio profile, onboarding status) are stored locally on your device via Android SharedPreferences and are not transmitted anywhere.
7. Data Sharing
We do not sell your data. Data is shared only with:
- Google AdMob — for ad serving (see Section 3).
- Our feedback backend and its cloud storage provider — only for feedback you submit (see Section 2).
8. Children's Privacy
The App is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
9. Data Security
All network communication from the App is encrypted (cleartext traffic is disabled). Feedback attachments are transferred and stored via encrypted, access-controlled cloud storage.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted at this same location with an updated effective date.
