Privacy Policy

App Privacy Summary

This policy applies only to the iOS and iPadOS version of Disco Lights Music Visualizer. The Android and Windows apps, and this public website, have separate data practices and separate disclosures.

1. Information We Collect

AndrApps does not directly receive or store account information, audio, images, video, motion data, precise location, contacts, payment information, or user-created profiles from the iOS app. The app does not require an account or sign-in. In this policy, “collect” means transmitting data off the device so that the developer or a third party can access it beyond the time needed to service a real-time request.

The Google Mobile Ads SDK used for the banner may transmit or allow Google and its advertising partners to process information such as an advertising or app/device identifier where available and permitted, IP address or approximate location inferred from network information, device model and operating-system information, app and SDK information, ad request and impression information, clicks or other ad interactions, and diagnostics and fraud-prevention signals. The exact data and purposes depend on the ad request, your device settings, your region, and Google’s current product configuration.

2. Device Permissions and On-Device Processing

Microphone

When you use a music-reactive mode, the app may request microphone access to analyze sound level, frequency energy, and beats in real time. This processing occurs only in memory on your device to drive visual effects. The app does not record microphone audio, create audio files, store audio, upload audio, or transmit audio over a network.

Camera hardware and torch

The app accesses the rear camera hardware only when needed to control the device torch for flashlight effects. It does not take photographs, record video, inspect camera frames, save camera content, or transmit camera content.

Motion sensors

Shake mode may use accelerometer data to detect device movement and trigger visual effects. Motion readings are processed in real time on the device and are not stored or transmitted.

Haptics, vibration, and display brightness

The app may trigger short haptic or vibration feedback and may adjust screen brightness according to your settings. These actions do not collect or transmit personal data.

3. Information Stored on Your Device

The app stores only local preferences required to remember your choices, such as selected mode, tempo, sensitivity, colors, effect options, vibration state, flashlight state, brightness behavior, and control visibility. These preferences remain in the app’s private storage on your device and are not sent to the developer.

You can change these settings inside the app. Deleting the app normally removes its local data from the device. Copies may remain in device backups controlled by you and Apple according to your iOS or iCloud backup settings; the developer cannot access or delete those backups.

4. Advertising, Analytics, Tracking, and Third Parties

Google AdMob banner

The iOS app includes Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) to display a banner advertisement at the bottom of the app screen. Google and participating demand partners may process the information described in section 1 to serve, measure, limit repeated ads, detect invalid traffic, maintain security, and prevent fraud. AdMob is a third-party advertising service; Google’s processing is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy and applicable Google advertising policies.

Personalized advertising and tracking

Depending on your choices, region, device settings, and the ad request, AdMob may show personalized or non-personalized ads. Personalized advertising can involve using information from apps or websites outside AndrApps for ad selection or measurement. Under Apple’s definition, this may constitute tracking. The app requests permission through Apple’s AppTrackingTransparency framework before accessing IDFA for tracking when that framework is used. If you do not grant permission, ads may still be shown, but IDFA is not sent in the ad request.

Consent and privacy choices

Where required, the app uses Google’s User Messaging Platform or another Google-provided consent flow to present choices about advertising and related data use before requesting ads. The available choices and the requirement for a privacy-options entry point depend on your location and the current AdMob configuration. You can review or change available choices through the app’s Privacy choices entry point, if shown.

The app does not include Firebase Analytics or another separate analytics SDK unless a later version specifically adds and discloses one. If the advertising or data practices change, this policy and the App Store privacy disclosures will be updated.

5. Website and External Links

If you choose the Website link, iOS opens a separate public website in your browser. The website is not embedded in the iOS app. Website requests may be processed by hosting, security, and analytics providers, including Cloudflare and Google Analytics, and the optional website AI assistant has its own data handling described in the website’s general privacy policy. Those website practices are separate from the iOS app’s on-device processing.

This policy page is publicly hosted by Cloudflare. Cloudflare may process request information such as an IP address and browser or device metadata to deliver and protect the page under its own terms. The iOS app and AndrApps do not receive that information from the policy page as app data.

6. Retention and Deletion

AndrApps has no developer-controlled server-side account data from the iOS app to retain or delete. Google and its advertising partners may retain ad-related information according to their policies, product settings, legal obligations, security needs, and fraud-prevention practices. Local preferences remain on your device until you change them, reset them, or delete the app, subject to any device backups you control.

7. Your Choices and How to Revoke Access

• Manage microphone access in Settings > Privacy & Security > Microphone.
• Manage camera access, if shown by iOS, in Settings > Privacy & Security > Camera.
• Manage motion access, if shown by iOS, in Settings > Privacy & Security > Motion & Fitness.
• You can also open Settings > Disco Lights to review permissions made available by iOS.
• Manage tracking permission in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking. Turning off permission prevents the app from accessing IDFA for tracking; it does not necessarily remove all advertising.
• Use the app’s Privacy choices entry point, if shown, to review or change advertising consent choices.
• Delete the app to remove its local settings from the device, subject to your device-backup settings.

If you deny or revoke a permission, only the feature that depends on that permission may be unavailable; other supported modes remain usable.

8. Children’s Privacy

The iOS app does not include accounts or user-to-user communication. Because it displays third-party advertising, parents and guardians should consider the app’s age rating and the advertising controls available on the device and in the app. The app does not knowingly ask children to provide personal information. If you believe information has been provided to the developer outside the app, such as through a support email, contact us so the request can be reviewed.

9. Security and International Transfers

The iOS app keeps its settings in the app’s private storage and processes microphone and motion input locally. Because the iOS app does not transmit user data to the developer, there are no developer-controlled international transfers of app user data.

10. Flashing-Light and Device Safety

Disco Lights can display rapidly flashing or strobe-like effects and can pulse the device torch. These effects may affect people with photosensitive epilepsy or other sensitivities. Stop using the app if you experience discomfort, dizziness, eye strain, or other symptoms. Do not use flashing effects while driving or in any situation where distraction could be dangerous. Extended torch use may warm the device; discontinue use and allow it to cool if necessary.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy when the iOS app’s features, permissions, legal requirements, or data practices change. The current version will be posted at this URL with a new “Last updated” date. Material changes will be reflected in the App Store privacy disclosures where required.
