1. Personal Information Collection
This app (Kalimba) does not collect any personal information.
Kalimba is an offline app without account registration, login, or server connectivity. Therefore, no personal information is collected, stored, or transmitted.
2. Data Stored on Device
The following data is stored only on your device when using the app:
- App settings (background color, tine theme, volume, etc.)
- Your recorded performances
- Your saved sheet music
This data is not transmitted to external servers and will be deleted when the app is uninstalled.
Information we do NOT collect (data minimization)
- Personal identifiers: name, email, phone number, date of birth, address
- Sensitive data: national ID, credit card, bank account, biometric data, health / religious / political data
- Communications data: SMS, call history, contacts (address book)
- Hardware identifiers: IMEI, MAC address, serial number (only the resettable Advertising ID is used by AdMob)
- Location: GPS or Wi-Fi-based precise location (only coarse IP-based region is inferred by AdMob)
- On-device files: gallery scans, other apps' data, list of installed apps
- Real-time inputs: microphone (in-app recordings are saved locally only), camera, keystrokes, screen captures
3. Third-Party Sharing
This app does not share user data with any third parties.
4. Advertising and Analytics
This app displays ads through Google AdMob. AdMob may collect the following for ad delivery:
- Device identifier (Advertising ID / AAID / IDFA)
- IP address
- App usage events
You can limit personalized ads by resetting / deleting the Advertising ID (Android) or disabling "Allow Apps to Request to Track" (iOS).
AdMob advertising partners
AdMob may mediate or bid through Google-approved third-party ad networks (e.g., Meta Audience Network, AppLovin, Unity Ads).
5. Data Deletion (Google Play requirement)
This app does not store personal information on any server, so there is no "account" concept. All data resides on your device and can be fully removed via:
- Uninstall the app: removes all local data.
- Clear app data: Device Settings → Apps → Kalimba → Storage → Clear Data.
- Reset Advertising ID: Device Settings → Google → Ads → Reset or delete Advertising ID to reset AdMob profile.
Note: Google Play's Account deletion requirement targets account-based apps. Since this app has no account, the requirement does not strictly apply, but an equivalent deletion path is provided above.
