Reading Backgrounds & Sounds
Effective Date: 25/02/2026
Reading Backgrounds & Sounds (“we,” “our,” or “us”) values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices when using our mobile application and related services (the “App”).
1. Information We Collect
a. Information You Provide
We currently do not require account registration, and we do not collect personal profile information such as name, email address, or password directly in the App.
b. Information Stored on Your Device
- Favorites data: Sounds you mark as favorite are stored locally on your device (using local app storage).
c. Content Data
- We retrieve sound metadata (e.g., title, category, audio URL, cover image URL, duration) from our cloud database to display content in the App.
d. Automatically Collected Technical Data
Our service providers (such as hosting/cloud providers) may process limited technical data (for example, IP address, device/network information, and request logs) as needed to deliver content and maintain security and reliability.
2. How We Use Information
We use information to:
- Provide and operate audio playback features
- Save and restore your local favorites
- Load and display sound library content
- Maintain performance, reliability, and security
3. Third-Party Services
We use third-party infrastructure/services, including:
- Firebase Firestore (content metadata storage)
- Cloudinary (media hosting for audio/images)
These providers may process technical data as part of delivering their services. Their handling of data is governed by their own privacy policies.
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information.
We may share limited data only:
- With service providers that help us operate the App
- If required by law, regulation, legal process, or valid government request
- To protect rights, security, and integrity of the App and users
5. Data Retention
- Favorites stored locally remain on your device until you remove them or uninstall the App.
- Cloud-hosted content metadata is retained as needed to operate the service.
6. Your Choices
You can:
- Remove favorites inside the App
- Uninstall the App to remove locally stored app data
- Contact us to ask privacy-related questions
7. Children’s Privacy
The App is not directed to children under 13 (or equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
8. International Users
Your information may be processed in countries other than your own, depending on where our providers operate their infrastructure.
9. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and revise the “Effective Date.”
