6. How the Microphone Is Used
The microphone is required for the App's clap-detection functionality.
When you activate clap detection, the App listens for sound through the device microphone in order to determine whether a clap-like sound has occurred.
The microphone functionality is intended solely to enable the phone-finding feature.
We do not intentionally use the microphone to:
Record phone calls
Record conversations
Store personal audio recordings
Upload conversations to our servers
Sell audio recordings
Share personal audio recordings with advertisers
If you disable microphone permission, the clap-detection feature may not function.
7. Pocket Mode
The App may provide a pocket mode or similar hands-free phone-finding functionality.
When enabled, the App may use available device sensors or system information required to determine whether the device is being carried or placed in a pocket, depending on the implementation of the feature.
Sensor information is used only to provide the relevant phone-finding functionality.
We do not intentionally collect or store precise location information through the pocket-mode feature unless explicitly stated elsewhere in the App.
8. Alarm Sounds and Flash
The App allows users to select an alarm or alert sound.
Selected sounds are used locally on the device to alert the user when the phone-finding feature is triggered.
The App may also use the device's flash/light where supported and where the relevant feature is enabled.
We do not need to collect your personal information in order to play an alarm sound or activate the flash.
9. How We Use Information
Information processed by the App and its third-party services may be used to:
Provide the phone-finding functionality.
Detect clapping sounds.
Trigger alarms and alerts.

12. Advertising and Personalized Ads
The App may display advertisements through Google AdMob.
Depending on the user's location, applicable laws, consent choices, device settings, and Google's advertising configuration, advertisements may be personalized or non-personalized.
Where legally required, appropriate consent mechanisms may be presented to users before personalized advertising or certain forms of data processing occur.
Users may also have advertising and privacy controls available through their Android or Google account settings.
13. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information.
However, information may be processed or shared with third-party service providers that are necessary for the operation of the App, including advertising, crash reporting, performance monitoring, and app configuration services.
For example:
AdMob may process advertising-related information to provide advertisements and measure advertising performance.

These third-party services process information according to their respective policies and terms.
14. Data Retention
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including providing and improving the App, maintaining security, diagnosing technical problems, and complying with legal obligations.
Some information collected by third-party services may be retained according to those providers' own retention policies.
Because AdMob and Firebase are third-party services, their respective retention periods may differ from ours.
15. Data Deletion
The App does not require users to create an account.
Because there is no user account maintained by us, there is generally no account profile or account database that you can request us to delete.
You may uninstall the App at any time. You may also reset or limit advertising identifiers through your Android device settings where those controls are available.
If you have a specific privacy or data-related request, you may contact us at:
Email: adeelsaudia50001@gmail.com
We will review and respond to reasonable privacy requests as required by applicable law.
16. Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information processed through the App.
Data transmitted by third-party services may be protected using security measures provided by those services, including encryption in transit where supported.
However, no electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
17. Children's Privacy
The App is not specifically directed toward children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us at:
If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child in circumstances where deletion is required, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
18. Permissions
Depending on the features enabled and the Android version of your device, the App may request permissions or access related to:
Microphone: Required for detecting claps when the clap-to-find feature is enabled.
Notification access: Where required to provide alerts or notifications.
Flash/light: Used to provide visual alerts where supported.
Device sensors: Where required for pocket-mode or related functionality.
The App only requests permissions that are necessary for its available functionality.
You can manage permissions through your Android device settings. Disabling certain permissions may prevent the corresponding App feature from working.
19. Background Operation
Some phone-finding functionality may require the App to operate in the background or remain active so that it can detect the conditions necessary to trigger an alert.
If background microphone or sensor functionality is used, the App will use it only for the phone-finding functionality described in this Privacy Policy.
Google Play requires prominent in-app disclosure and affirmative consent in situations where sensitive data access may not be reasonably expected by users, particularly for background access. Developers should therefore provide the relevant disclosure immediately before requesting the applicable permission.
20. Your Privacy Choices
You can control certain aspects of the App's data access through your Android device settings.
You may:
Disable microphone permission.
Disable notifications.
Disable or limit advertising personalization where Android/Google settings provide such controls.
Uninstall the App.
Contact us with privacy questions or requests.
Please note that disabling a permission may cause the associated feature to stop working.
