Privacy Policy - Audio Editor
Overview
Welcome to Audio Editor ("the App"). This Privacy Policy explains how (little) data is handled when you use the App.
Data controller: SSManha Ltd, a company registered in the United Kingdom. Contact: support@ssmanha.com
Who Can Use the App
The App is intended for users aged 13 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone, including children, as the App does not collect data. If you believe a child under 13 has given us personal information directly (for example, by email), contact us and we will delete it.
What the App Does With Your Files
All editing happens locally on your device, including: muting audio or video (entire file or a selected range), volume boost up to 200%, pitch/tone change and equalizer, mixing tracks (adding audio to a video or another audio file), trimming, speed change, and extracting audio from video into formats such as M4A, AAC, WAV, FLAC, Opus, 3GP and AMR with your chosen bitrate, sample rate and channel settings. None of these operations involve uploading your files anywhere.
Data We Collect
We do not collect any of the following, ever:
- Your audio, video, or any other media files
- Personal information (name, email, address, etc.), except what you voluntarily provide by emailing us directly
- Device identifiers or advertising IDs
- Usage analytics, tracking data, or behavioural profiling
- Location information
- Contacts, social media, or account data
- Cookies or tracking technologies of any kind (the App is a native mobile app and does not use cookies)
Data Handled by Google Play Services (Outside Our Control)
The following may be collected by Google Play Services on Google's behalf, governed entirely by Google's Privacy Policy:
- Purchase history (for subscription verification via Google Play Billing)
- Anonymised app usage statistics
- Crash reports (if enabled by you)
- Device information (for compatibility purposes)
This data is transmitted directly between your device and Google, not through us. Where Google processes it outside the UK/EEA, those transfers are governed by Google's own safeguards (for example, Standard Contractual Clauses), as detailed in Google's Privacy Policy.
Legal Basis for Processing (UK GDPR)
Because the App does not collect personal data, our processing is minimal. To the extent any data is processed, our legal basis is:
- Performance of a contract: subscription verification needed to provide the Pro features you purchased.
- Legitimate interests: responding to support or contact emails you send us voluntarily.
Data Storage & Security
- Original files and edited or exported outputs are stored locally on your device only.
- Temporary files created while processing are managed by the Android OS and the App, and are removed when processing completes or when you clear the App's data.
- No cloud sync or server uploads occur at any point.
- You have full control by deleting your exported files, clearing the App's data, or uninstalling the App.
Retention: local app preferences (such as your last-used export settings) are deleted automatically when you clear the App's data or uninstall it.
Sharing: if you choose to share an exported file using Android's share menu, it goes to the app you select, under that app's own privacy policy. We do not receive it.
App Permissions
- Storage/Media access: to load and save your audio and video files (using Scoped Storage on modern Android versions).
- Internet: required solely so Google Play Billing can verify subscription purchases. No feature uses this permission to transmit your audio, video, or personal content.
Third-Party Libraries
The App uses third-party libraries that operate locally on-device or strictly under their own policies, including: Android MediaCodec, Media3 (ExoPlayer and Transformer), Google Play Billing, Room, Jetpack Compose, and Gson.
Data Breach Notification
If a breach affects any personal information we hold (for example, data you've emailed us), we will notify affected users and, where legally required, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), without undue delay and in line with UK GDPR.
Your Rights (UK GDPR)
Where we hold personal data about you (for example, emails you've sent us), you have the right to:
- Request access to, correction of, or deletion of your data;
- Object to or restrict our processing;
- Request data portability, where applicable;
- Complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk if you believe your data protection rights have been violated.
To exercise these rights, contact support@ssmanha.com. We will respond within one month, as required by UK GDPR.
Children's Privacy
The App is designed for general audiences aged 13 and over and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If a child under 13 has contacted us with personal data, tell us and we will delete it promptly.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be notified in-app. Continued use of the App after such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
