3. Data Storage

3.1 Local Device Storage

QuietLog stores app data locally on your device. This may include:

• Noise session history and report summaries
• Decibel timeline samples and detected noise events
• Raw audio recordings and event clips created inside the app
• Report names, location labels, threshold values, and session duration settings
• Free report state, Pro access state, and purchase restoration cache used for app functionality

3.2 Microphone and Background Audio

QuietLog uses the microphone when you start a noise recording session. If background audio is enabled by the system, QuietLog may continue recording while the app is not visible so the active session can continue. This is used only for the recording session you start.

3.3 Reports, Sharing, and Export

QuietLog may let you view, play, share, or export reports and audio. When you choose to share or export a report or recording, that content leaves the app through the destination you select, such as Messages, Mail, Files, or another app. Those destinations are governed by their own privacy practices.

3.4 Data Retention

• Local data remains on your device until you delete it in the app or uninstall the app
• Deleting a report removes the report data controlled by QuietLog from local app storage
• Uninstalling the app may remove locally stored QuietLog data from your device
• Purchase records are handled by Apple and RevenueCat so purchases can be restored

4. Permissions We Request

Permission	Why We Need It	Required?
Microphone	To measure sound levels and save session audio when you start a recording	Required for recording
Background Audio	To allow an active recording session to continue when supported by iOS	Optional / system controlled

Note: You can manage microphone permission in iOS Settings -> QuietLog at any time.
