Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 10, 2026

This policy explains how Metronome: BPM, Tempo & Tuner ("Metronome", "the app"), made by Vural Can Şişman ("we", "us"), an independent developer, handles information. In short: the app has no accounts, keeps your settings on your device, never records audio, and shows ads from Google AdMob.

Information that stays on your device

Your tempo, meters, accents, sounds, setlists, song maps, language choice and other settings are saved only on your device. We do not receive them. Deleting the app deletes them.

Microphone

The tuner uses the microphone, only after you allow it and only while the Tuner tab is open and the app is in use. Sound is analysed on your device to find the pitch. It is never recorded, stored or sent anywhere. You can turn off microphone access at any time in your device settings.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

The free version shows banner ads provided by Google AdMob. To show and measure ads, Google may collect and process information from your device, such as:

• device and app information (for example device model, operating system, app version, language);
• your IP address and the approximate location derived from it;
• ad interactions (for example which ads were shown or tapped);
• on iOS, the device advertising identifier (IDFA), only if you allow tracking when the app asks.

Google processes this information under its own policies. Learn more at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and Google's Privacy Policy.

Your choices. If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the app asks for your consent through Google's consent message before personalised ads are shown, and you can change your choice at any time in Settings → Ads → Ad privacy choices. On iOS, you can allow or refuse tracking when asked, and change it later in your device's privacy settings. If you refuse, you may still see ads, but they will not be personalised.

Buying Remove Ads stops ads from being shown in the app.

In-app purchases

The Remove Ads purchase is handled entirely by Apple (or Google Play on Android). We do not receive your name, payment details or billing address. The app only checks with the store whether the purchase was made, so it can remove ads and restore the purchase on your devices.

What we do not do

• We do not ask you to create an account.
• We do not use analytics or crash-reporting tools that send data to us.
• We do not sell your personal information.

Children

Metronome is a general-audience music tool and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or object to the processing of your personal information. Because we do not hold personal information about you ourselves, requests about ad data are best directed to Google. For anything else, contact us at the address below and we will help.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the effective date above. Significant changes will also be mentioned in the app's release notes.
