Why we use RECORD_AUDIO permission:
Our app uses the microphone permission exclusively for measuring ambient sound levels and displaying decibel (dB) readings. This is the core functionality of our sound level meter application.
Data Collection and Privacy:
We do NOT collect, store, or transmit any audio recordings or sound data. The app:
- Only analyzes sound amplitude levels in real-time
- Does not record or save any actual audio content
- Processes all data locally on the device
- Does not transmit any sound data to external servers
- Does not share any data with third parties
- Immediately discards sound level data after displaying the measurement
User Control:
- The microphone is only activated when the user opens the app and starts measurement
- Users can stop measurement at any time
- Permission can be revoked through device settings
- No audio content is ever recorded, only sound pressure levels are measured
