This processing occurs locally on your device, and the audio data used for this feature is not sent to our servers unless you specifically choose to share it with us for technical support or other purposes.

3. HOW WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION

We do not share your personal information with third parties except as described in this Privacy Policy:

3.1 Service Providers

We may share your information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as hosting services, analytics providers, and customer support services. These service providers are authorized to use your information only as necessary to provide these services to us and are required to protect your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We may disclose your information if we believe that such disclosure is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, to protect or defend our rights or property, or to protect the safety of our users or others.

3.3 With Your Consent

We may share your information with third parties if you give us your explicit consent to do so. For example, if you choose to share an audio file through a third-party sharing feature, your audio file and any associated information will be shared with that third party in accordance with their privacy policies.

3.4 Aggregated or Anonymized Information

We may share aggregated or anonymized information that does not identify you personally with third parties for research, marketing, or other purposes.

4. DATA RETENTION

We retain the information we collect for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. When determining retention periods, we consider the following factors: (i) the length of time we need the information to provide the App and services to you; (ii) whether we are required to retain the information to comply with applicable laws; (iii) whether we need the information to resolve disputes or enforce our agreements; and (iv) our legitimate business purposes.

Audio files and projects created using the App are stored locally on your device. You can delete these files at any time through the App's interface or through your device's settings. If you contact us for support and share audio files or other information, we will retain that information only for as long as necessary to resolve your support request, unless you give us permission to retain it for other purposes.

You may request access to the personal information we have collected about you and request that we correct any inaccuracies in that information. To make such a request, please contact us at yinpinjianji1507@163.com.

5.2 Deletion

You may request that we delete the personal information we have collected about you, subject to certain legal exceptions. To make such a request, please contact us at yinpinjianji1507@163.com.

If you have given us consent to collect or use your information for a specific purpose, you may withdraw that consent at any time by contacting us at yinpinjianji1507@163.com. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of our processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

6. SECURITY OF YOUR INFORMATION

We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. These measures include technical, administrative, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Audio files and projects created using the App are stored locally on your device. We recommend that you take appropriate measures to secure your device, such as using a passcode or biometric authentication, to prevent unauthorized access to your information and audio files.

7. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

The App is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information as soon as possible. If you believe that we may have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us at yinpinjianji1507@163.com.

8. THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND SERVICES

The App may contain links to third-party websites or services, such as social media platforms or cloud storage services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to these third-party services, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you use.

9. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are collecting, using, and sharing your information. Your continued use of the App after any changes to this Privacy Policy will constitute your acceptance of those changes.

11. LOCAL STORAGE AND DATA PROCESSING

Audio Clip is designed to process and store your audio data locally on your device whenever possible. This approach helps protect your privacy by minimizing the transmission of your personal information to our servers. The following data processing activities occur locally on your device:

• Audio recording and editing
• Waveform visualization
• AI noise reduction processing
• Application of audio effects
• Storage of audio files and projects

Data is only transmitted to our servers when you explicitly choose to share information with us, such as when submitting a support request or providing feedback. In such cases, the transmission is encrypted using industry-standard protocols to protect your information during transit.

12. EXPORT AND SHARING FEATURES

Audio Clip provides features that allow you to export your audio files and share them through various channels. When you use these features:

• You retain full control over your audio content
• Exported files are stored locally on your device unless you choose to share them
• Sharing through third-party services is governed by those services' privacy policies
• We do not track or monitor your shared content

We recommend that you review the privacy settings of any third-party service you use to share your audio files and consider the privacy implications before sharing personal or sensitive information.

13. DATA MINIMIZATION AND PURPOSE LIMITATION

We adhere to the principles of data minimization and purpose limitation. This means we only collect the minimum amount of information necessary to provide the App's functionality and we only use that information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. We do not collect or use information for unrelated purposes without obtaining your explicit consent.
