Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

Short version: dBLevel does not collect any personal data. Everything stays on your device.

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy applies to the mobile application "dBLevel – Decibel Meter" (the "App"). The App is a paid application available on the Apple App Store, designed to help users measure and log environmental noise levels using their iPhone's built-in microphone. Your privacy is important to us. This App is built to collect no personal data.

2. Information We Collect

We do not collect, store, or share any personal information. Microphone access is used solely to measure real-time sound levels on your device. Audio is never recorded, stored as audio files, or transmitted externally. All session data (decibel readings, session names, duration) is stored locally on your device only.

  • Does not require account creation
  • Does not collect personal data
  • Does not track users
  • Does not use analytics tools
  • Does not use cookies
  • Does not transmit microphone data to any server

3. How We Use Information

Since no personal data is collected, we do not use or process any user information. All functionality of the App works entirely offline. No internet connection is required or used during normal operation.

4. Microphone Usage

The App requests access to your device's microphone exclusively to measure ambient sound levels in decibels (dB). You can revoke microphone access at any time in your iPhone Settings.

  • Processed locally on your device in real time
  • Never recorded as audio
  • Never transmitted to external servers
  • Never shared with third parties

5. Third-Party Services

The App may rely on platform services provided by Apple. We do not have access to your payment details. All transactions are handled securely by Apple.

  • App Store purchase handling
  • Payment processing

6. Data Storage

All data — including saved sessions, decibel readings, and session names — is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted to external servers. Uninstalling the App will permanently delete all stored data.

7. Children's Privacy

The App does not knowingly collect any personal information from children or any users. The App is suitable for general audiences and contains no age-restricted content.

8. Disclaimer

dBLevel provides estimated noise level readings using your device's built-in microphone. Readings are for general awareness only and should not be used for professional, medical, legal, or occupational purposes. For certified measurements, use a professional-grade sound level meter.

9. Security

Since no personal data is collected or transmitted, there is minimal risk related to data security. Microphone data is processed in real time and immediately discarded after measurement.
