Privacy Policy

Ear Amplifier — Last updated: October 10, 2026

What changed in this update (October 10, 2026): the App now uses Firebase Remote Config (Google) to receive configuration settings, such as which ad placements are switched on. This involves a Firebase installation identifier, as described in the new “App configuration (Firebase Remote Config)” section below. The App can also show an ad when you return to it from the background (an “app open” ad). Everything else is unchanged — your audio is still never recorded, stored, or transmitted.

This Privacy Policy describes how the Ear Amplifier mobile application ("the App") handles your information. The App is a sound amplification utility that captures audio from your device's microphone, processes it in real time, and plays it back through your connected headphones.

The short version

Microphone access

The App requests the RECORD_AUDIO permission because its core function is amplifying the sound around you. Audio captured from the microphone is processed entirely on your device, in real time, in memory. It is played back to your headphones within milliseconds and is immediately discarded. No audio is ever saved to storage, uploaded to any server, or shared with any third party — including our advertising partners.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

The App displays native, interstitial, rewarded and app-open advertisements (earlier versions also showed banner ads) served by Google AdMob, a third-party advertising service operated by Google LLC. To serve and measure ads, Google may collect:

This data is collected and processed by Google under its own policies:

Consent: if you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the App shows a consent form (Google User Messaging Platform) on first launch. Ads are only requested after this consent flow completes, and you can decline personalised advertising.

Your controls: you can reset or delete your advertising ID at any time in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads. Rewarded ads are always optional and only play when you choose to watch one.

App configuration (Firebase Remote Config)

The App uses Firebase Remote Config, a service operated by Google LLC, to download configuration settings (for example, which ad placements are enabled and how often ads may appear) so these can be adjusted without an app update. To deliver this configuration, Firebase uses:

This data is used only to deliver configuration to the App. It is not used for advertising, not sold, and not shared with third parties beyond Google's role as the service provider. See Privacy and Security in Firebase. Firebase deletes installation IDs that are no longer in use.

Data the App itself collects

None. Outside of the third-party services described above (Google AdMob and Firebase Remote Config), the App does not collect, store, or share any personal information, usage data, or audio recordings. There are no user accounts and no analytics SDKs.

App settings

Your preferences (such as equalizer settings, presets, and your chosen language) are stored locally on your device only. They are deleted when you uninstall the App.

Bluetooth

The App may request Bluetooth permissions solely to route processed audio to your paired Bluetooth headphones. It does not scan for, track, or store information about nearby devices.

Children's privacy

The App is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from children. Ad requests are flagged to Google with the strictest content rating ("G — general audiences") and are not tagged for child-directed treatment because the App's audience is adults.

Medical disclaimer

Ear Amplifier is a sound amplification utility. It is not a medical device, is not a hearing aid, and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition, including hearing loss. If you have concerns about your hearing, please consult a qualified healthcare professional.

Hearing safety

Listening at high volume for extended periods may damage your hearing. The App includes output limiting, but you are responsible for using a safe listening volume.

Changes to this policy

If a future version of the App adds features that change how data is handled (for example, optional audio recording, subscriptions, or cloud sync), this policy will be updated before that version is released, and the changes will be summarised at the top of this page.
