Privacy Policy for Squat Depth Alarm

Effective Date: November 17, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how Squat Depth Alarm ("we," "us," or "our") handles information in connection with your use of the Squat Depth Alarm mobile application (the "App").

1. Introduction

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected, used, and shared by the App. By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Collect and How We Use It

a. Microphone Access (for Voice Commands)

To provide hands-free control, the App uses your device's microphone to listen for specific voice commands ("SQUAT" and "RACK"). Here's how we handle your audio data:

Local Processing: Audio is processed in real-time, directly on your device, using the native Android Speech Recognizer service.
No Recording or Storage: We DO NOT record, store, or transmit your voice or any audio data to our servers or any third party. The audio is processed ephemerally for the sole purpose of recognizing the commands.
Permission-Based: The App will only access your microphone after you grant the RECORD_AUDIO permission and activate the voice command feature within the App.

b. Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect any other personally identifiable information (PII) from you. This includes:

Your name
Your email address
Your phone number
Your location (GPS)
Your contacts
Your photos or camera access

3. Information Collected by Third-Party Services

We use third-party services to provide advertising and in-app purchases. These services may collect information about you:

a. Google AdMob (Advertising)

We use Google AdMob to show ads in the App. AdMob may collect and use data about you to provide personalized advertising. This may include:

Device information: Advertising ID, device make and model, operating system, and IP address.
Ad interaction data: Information about the ads you see and interact with.

For more information on how Google collects and uses data, please see Google's Privacy & Terms. You can opt out of personalized advertising by following the instructions in your device settings.

b. Google Play Billing (In-App Purchases)

We use Google Play Billing to process in-app purchases, such as the "Remove Ads" feature. When you make a purchase, Google collects payment information directly. We do not have access to your payment details. We only receive a confirmation from Google that the purchase was successful.

For more information, please see Google Payments Privacy Notice.

4. How We Use Your Information
