Privacy Policy
Pocket Soundboard
TripleEdge Studio provides Pocket Soundboard (Android package com.tripleedgestudio.soundboard). This policy describes how the app handles your information.
1. Information handled by the app
You can import audio files, record microphone audio, create boards and sequences, mark favorites, and change playback settings. Some bundled sounds can be unlocked after a rewarded ad. The app stores imported and recorded audio, sound names and edits, boards, favorites, playback history, unlocked-sound choices, and preferences in private storage on your device. It does not require an account.
2. Microphone and files
Microphone permission is requested only when you choose to record a sound. Recording starts after you press Record and stops when you stop or leave the recording flow. The app uses Android's document picker to access only files you select for import or restore; it copies selected audio into app storage. It does not scan your other files.
3. Sharing and exports
When you choose Share, Android sends a temporary WAV copy to the app you select. When you export a sound or backup, you choose its destination through Android's document picker. We do not choose recipients or automatically upload your audio. Files you share or export are then controlled by the destination app or storage provider and cannot be deleted from there by Pocket Soundboard.
4. Advertising and third parties
Pocket Soundboard uses Google AdMob for banners, occasional interstitials, and optional rewarded ads that unlock specific bundled sounds. Development builds use Google's test ads; release builds use our AdMob app and ad units. You can use free sounds and your own clips without watching a rewarded ad. The app does not send your recordings, imported clips, boards, or sound names to TripleEdge Studio servers or to AdMob as ad targeting data.
When ads are enabled, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may automatically collect and share your IP address (which can indicate approximate location), app interactions such as launches, taps and ad views, diagnostics, and device or account identifiers including the Android advertising ID or app set ID. Google uses this data for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention. Ad data is encrypted in transit. See Google's Mobile Ads data disclosure and Google's Privacy Policy.
The Google User Messaging Platform checks whether an ad consent message or privacy choices are needed and shows them when applicable. If required, you can reopen ad privacy choices in Settings. Ads are requested only when this consent flow permits them. Android and the recipient apps or storage providers you choose may process data under their own privacy policies. Opening this policy or the terms from Settings opens your browser, which may contact this website and process normal web request data under the browser and hosting provider's policies.
Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics are available to measure app usage and diagnose crashes. Both are off by default. You can turn either one on or off separately in Settings. When enabled, Analytics can collect app interactions, approximate location inferred from IP address, device information, and identifiers; Crashlytics can collect crash traces, device and app information, and Firebase installation identifiers. These services may send data to Google for measurement and diagnosis. The app does not add your recorded or imported audio to Analytics events or crash reports. Turning a switch off stops future collection; data already sent remains subject to Google's retention and deletion practices. See Firebase privacy information.
5. Permissions
- Microphone (RECORD_AUDIO): needed only for the recording feature; you can deny it and still use imported and included sounds.
- Vibration (VIBRATE): optional tap feedback, controlled in Settings.
- Internet and network state: used by the ad, consent, and optional Firebase SDKs.
- Advertising ID (AD_ID): declared by the Google Mobile Ads SDK for supported Android versions and may be used for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention. Firebase Analytics advertising ID collection is disabled in the app configuration.
The app does not request broad photo, audio, or file storage access, contacts, camera, location, or notification permission.
6. Security, retention, and deletion
App data remains on your device until you delete individual custom sounds or boards, replace your collection through Restore, clear the app's storage in Android Settings, or uninstall the app. Rewarded unlock and diagnostic choices remain in app settings until app data is cleared or the app is uninstalled; manual collection backups do not include them. Deleting a board does not delete its sounds. Android automatic app backup is disabled. You can make a manual backup, but copies you save outside the app remain until you remove them from their destinations. Device storage and Android app sandboxing protect local data; no security measure can guarantee absolute protection. Google's retention and deletion of ad and Firebase data are governed by its own policies.
7. Contact and changes
If you email support, we receive the email address and information you send so we can respond. Please avoid sending private recordings unless needed for your request. You may ask us to delete support correspondence, subject to any applicable obligations. We will update this page and its date if the app's data practices change.
