Privacy Policy
Summary. Virtual Mic collects minimal data necessary to provide and improve the app. The app may show third-party ads. We do not sell your information. You have choices about how your data is used.
Definitions
“We,” “us,” and “our” mean the operator of Virtual Mic and this service. “You” and “your” mean the individual using the app. “Personal information” means data that identifies or could reasonably identify you. “Service” means the Virtual Mic app and related offerings. “Policy” means this Privacy Policy as updated from time to time.
Information We Collect
We collect only what we need to deliver the service. This may include information you provide (such as preferences or support requests) and information generated by your use of the app (such as device type and usage). We gather it with your knowledge and consent, and we tell you why we need it.
How We Use Your Information
We use collected information to operate and improve Virtual Mic, to respond to you, to show ads, to measure ad performance, and to comply with the law.
Advertising
We use third-party advertising partners to display ads in the app. These partners may collect and process information such as device identifiers (e.g. Advertising ID/IDFA where permitted), IP address, coarse location, ad impressions/clicks, and app usage data to provide, personalize (where allowed), and measure ads. You can control ad personalization through your device settings and, on iOS, through App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompts where applicable.
Legal Basis for Processing
We process your information only where we have a lawful basis: your consent, performance of a contract with you, our legitimate interests (e.g. improving the service, security), or compliance with a legal obligation. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.
Data Retention
We keep your information only as long as needed to provide the service or as required by law. We protect stored data with reasonable technical and organizational measures against loss, theft, and unauthorized access, disclosure, or use.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
If the app or our website uses cookies, SDKs, or similar technologies (e.g. local storage), we use them to provide functionality, remember preferences, analyse usage, and measure advertising performance. You can manage or disable cookies through your device or browser settings where available and control ad personalization through your device privacy settings.
Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell or rent your personally identifying information. We may share information when necessary—for example, to comply with law, to protect rights and safety, with service providers who act on our behalf under confidentiality, and with advertising partners to serve and measure ads (who may process information under their own privacy policies). We do not share your information with third parties for their marketing unrelated to providing ads in the app.
Your Rights and Choices
You can ask us what data we hold about you, request correction or deletion where applicable, and object to or restrict certain processing. You may also withdraw consent where we rely on it. Refusing or limiting data may affect some features of the app.
Where applicable (e.g. under GDPR), you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller. You may also have the right to have your data transferred directly by us where technically feasible.
Security
We use industry-standard practices to safeguard your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We do not guarantee that your data will be secure at all times. We are not liable for unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure that results from circumstances beyond our reasonable control (including but not limited to third-party conduct, device compromise, or force majeure). You use the service and provide information at your own risk.
Children’s Privacy
Our app is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us data, please contact us and we will delete it.
Third-Party Links
The app may link to websites or services we do not operate. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to read their policies.
International Data Transfers
Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. We ensure appropriate safeguards (e.g. standard contractual clauses, adequacy decisions) where required by law so that your data remains protected to the standard required in your jurisdiction.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy at any time. We will post the revised version here and update the “Last updated” date. Your continued use of the app after the revised policy is posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. It is your responsibility to review this policy periodically.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we and our affiliates, officers, directors, and suppliers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, revenue, or profit, arising from or related to this policy, your use of the service, or our handling of your information. Our total liability in connection with this policy or the service shall not exceed the amount you paid us, if any, in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or one hundred Indian Rupees (₹100), whichever is greater. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; where they apply, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
No Legal Advice
This policy is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. You should consult your own legal or privacy advisor for advice specific to your situation.
Right to Lodge a Complaint
If you are in the EEA, UK, or another jurisdiction with a data protection authority, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority if you believe our processing of your personal data infringes applicable law. We encourage you to contact us first so we can address your concerns.
Agreement
By using Virtual Mic, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to this privacy policy. If you do not agree, do not use the app. If you have questions about how we handle your data, please contact us.
