1. General Provisions

This Privacy Policy applies to all information collected or processed in the Sondex mobile application (hereinafter — the "Application"), available on iPhone. By using the Application, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

2. What is Sondex

Sondex is a professional noise level meter for iPhone. The Application measures ambient sound in real time, records noise sessions, generates acoustic analysis reports, sends noise threshold alerts, and displays the impact of noise on human health — based on WHO and NIOSH standards.

3. Data Collection

3.1 Data Required for Functionality

The Application may request access to:

  • Microphone — to capture and analyze ambient sound. The microphone is used exclusively for real-time noise measurement and session recording. Audio data is processed locally on your device and is never uploaded to our servers.
  • Location — used to tag recorded sessions with a geographic location for noise alert filtering and session metadata. Location data is stored only on your device.
  • Notifications — to alert you when the ambient noise level exceeds your configured threshold. Alerts are generated locally and do not pass through external servers.

All permissions are requested via the system dialog and can be revoked at any time in iOS Settings.

3.2 User-Provided Information

You may voluntarily provide:

  • Recording session names and notes
  • Custom noise threshold values
  • Messages sent to our support team

3.3 Automatically Collected Information

The Application may automatically collect limited technical information:

  • Device type and model
  • Operating system version
  • Application usage statistics
  • Crash reports and error data

This information is used exclusively to maintain and improve the Application.

4. Local Data Storage

All application data is stored locally on your device using CoreData:

  • Noise session recordings and their metadata
  • Location data associated with sessions
  • Noise alert settings and thresholds
  • User preferences and measurement profiles
  • Generated PDF reports

This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

5. Use of Analytics Services

We use Mixpanel, a third-party analytics service, to:

  • Analyze feature usage within the Application
  • Improve the user experience
  • Diagnose errors and crashes
  • Improve stability and performance

Mixpanel receives anonymized event data that does not personally identify you. You can learn more at mixpanel.com/legal/privacy-policy.

6. Use of Information

We use collected information to:

  • Provide and maintain the Application's features
  • Support users and respond to inquiries
  • Improve the quality and performance of the Application
  • Ensure security and prevent fraud
  • Fulfill legal obligations

7. Data Transfer and Disclosure

We do not sell or transfer your personal data to third parties. Transfer is possible only to:

  • Service providers necessary for the Application's operation (e.g., analytics services)
  • Authorities, when required by applicable law
  • In cases necessary to protect rights, safety, or property

8. Location Information

The Application uses location data only to tag noise session recordings. Location is stored locally on your device and is never sent to our servers. We may approximately determine the user's region based on IP address or device region settings solely for improving the Application's performance.

9. Security

We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. Since all session data is stored locally on your device and we do not store it on our servers, the risk of unauthorized access to your content is significantly reduced.

10. Children

The Application is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal data, please contact us.

Depending on the legislation of your country, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to your data
  • Correct your data
  • Delete your data
  • Restrict or object to processing
  • Receive a portable copy of your data
