Privacy Policy

Decibeat ยท Last updated 2 November 2026

This policy explains what Decibeat does with information when you use it. It covers only this app. Decibeat works without an account or sign-in, shows no advertising, and keeps your measurements on your device.

What the app uses, and why

Microphone. Used to measure the sound level around you and, in Practice mode, the loudness of your playing. Audio is analysed live on your device. While the meter runs, the audio is held in a temporary file on the device; it is kept only when you save a recording and deleted when you reset the meter or delete the recording. It never leaves the device.

Settings you choose. Weighting, response time, calibration profiles, metronome settings and presets are stored on your device only.

Purchases. Subscriptions are billed by Apple. We never see or receive your payment card, and Apple shares only whether a subscription is active.

Who else processes data

PNLight (product analytics). The app includes the PNLight SDK, which receives anonymous usage events โ€” app opens, paywall views, trial and purchase events โ€” together with the device model, OS version and a random installation identifier. It never receives your recordings, audio or the levels you measure. It is used only to understand how the app is used.

What we do not do

We do not sell your personal information. We do not ask for your name, address or phone number. We do not build advertising profiles about you, and the app does not track you across other companies' apps or websites.

How long data is kept

Recordings, settings and presets stay on your device until you delete them in the app or delete the app. Analytics events are kept by PNLight for as long as needed to provide the service and are deleted on request.

Children

The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Your rights

You can ask what data relates to you, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted. Write to kristjan@chritech.site and we will respond within 30 days. Deleting the app removes everything held on your device.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it.
