Overview
We Respect Your Privacy
This Privacy Policy explains how Soundmax ("we", "our", or "the app"), developed by Ank, handles your information. Soundmax is a local audio equalizer app — it works entirely on your device and does not communicate with any external servers.
01
Information We Do NOT Collect
Soundmax does not collect, store, or transmit any of the following:
Personal information (name, email, phone number)
Audio recordings or music content
Location data (unless explicitly using Driving Mode)
Usage analytics sent to external servers
Data shared with third-party services
Device identifiers or advertising IDs
02
Permissions We Use & Why
Soundmax requests only the permissions necessary for its core functionality:
MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS
Core equalizer functionality — adjusting your device's audio output in real time
BLUETOOTH & BLUETOOTH_CONNECT
Detecting connected Bluetooth devices so AI Mode can optimize EQ settings accordingly
READ_MEDIA_AUDIO
Reading audio metadata to apply the correct EQ profile for your content
FOREGROUND_SERVICE
Running the equalizer continuously in the background while music plays
POST_NOTIFICATIONS
Showing a persistent notification indicating when Soundmax is actively enhancing audio
WAKE_LOCK
Preventing the audio service from being interrupted while music is playing
LOCATION (Driving Mode Only)
Location is accessed until and unless you use the drive mode. If not, you are not using any drive mode, then nothing acts without any intimation. If you want the driving mode, then only the location is accessed.
We are not using your location for any tracking, personal finance, or hacking purpose. We use the location just and only to determine the accurate speed of the car or two-wheeler you are using. This enables the Driving Mode feature to automatically decrease your music volume when slowing down, so you can safely hear traffic, honks, and people around you.
03
Data Storage
All app settings — including your EQ preferences, selected presets, and mode — are stored locally on your device only. No data is ever uploaded to any server or shared with anyone.
04
Third-Party Services
Soundmax does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. There are no ads in this app, and no SDK from any advertising network is included.
05
Children's Privacy
Soundmax does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. The app is rated Everyone on Google Play and contains no content inappropriate for any age group.
06
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date at the top. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
