Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2, 2026

MeziLabs ("we", "our", or "us") built the Clap to Find Phone app as a free application. This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information when you use our app.

1. Information We Collect

Clap to Find Phone does NOT collect, store, or transmit any personal data. All processing happens entirely on your device.

2. Permissions We Request

Our app requires certain device permissions to function. Here is what each permission is used for:

Microphone (RECORD_AUDIO)

Used to detect clap and whistle sounds in real-time. Audio is processed locally on your device and is never recorded, stored, or sent to any server. The microphone is only active when detection is enabled by you.

Camera (CAMERA)

Used solely to control the device flashlight/torch for visual alerts when your phone is found. We do not capture any photos or videos.

Vibration (VIBRATE)

Used to vibrate your device as part of the alert when a clap or whistle is detected.

Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS)

Used to display a persistent notification while the detection service is running in the background, as required by Android.

Foreground Service (FOREGROUND_SERVICE)

Required by Android to keep the clap/whistle detection running reliably in the background.

3. Data Storage

All app settings and preferences (such as your selected sound, volume, and sensitivity) are stored locally on your device using Android SharedPreferences. This data never leaves your device.

4. Third-Party Services

This app does not use any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. We do not integrate any SDKs that collect user data.

5. Children's Privacy

Our app does not collect any personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. The app is safe for users of all ages.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share any user data with third parties, because we simply do not collect any data.

7. Security

Since all data remains on your device and no data is transmitted over the internet, there is no risk of data breach from our side.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
