Overview
K Mic (“the App”) is developed and operated by Heap Labs LLC (“Heap Labs,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). This policy explains what information is processed when you use the App, why it is processed, and the choices available to you.
K Mic does not require you to create an account. We do not sell your personal information or use it for targeted advertising.
Microphone Audio
With your permission, K Mic accesses your device microphone so it can process your voice and play it through the audio output you select. Microphone audio is processed in real time. Heap Labs does not record, store, or upload your microphone audio to its servers.
When you choose a Bluetooth, AirPlay, or Chromecast output, audio is routed to that device using the platform and network connection you selected. The provider of that device or service may process the transmission under its own privacy practices.
Information We Process
- Audio and device permissions — Microphone, Bluetooth, nearby-device, local-network, and audio controls are used only to provide live audio processing, discover available speakers, and route sound. On older Android versions, the system may classify Bluetooth discovery as a location permission; K Mic does not use it to track your physical location.
- App usage and diagnostics — Firebase Analytics may process app-instance identifiers, device and operating-system information, app version, approximate location derived from IP address, and information about how the App is opened and used. We use this information in aggregate to understand performance and improve the App. K Mic removes Android advertising-ID permissions and does not show ads.
- Purchases and subscriptions — RevenueCat and the applicable app store process product, transaction, subscription-status, and platform-assigned customer identifiers to complete purchases and restore access. Heap Labs does not receive your payment-card details.
- Settings stored on your device — Preferences such as onboarding status, audio settings, and feature selections are stored locally so the App can remember your choices.
- Support communications — If you contact us, we process the contact information and message you provide so we can respond.
How We Use Information
- Provide, maintain, and troubleshoot K Mic.
- Process purchases and restore paid features.
- Understand aggregate usage and improve reliability.
- Respond to support and privacy requests.
- Protect the App and comply with legal obligations.
Service Providers
We use the following providers to operate the App. They may process limited information for the purposes described above under their own privacy policies.
We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a business transaction, subject to appropriate safeguards.
Retention and Security
Local preferences remain on your device until you clear the App data or uninstall the App. Purchase and analytics information is retained by our service providers for the periods needed to provide their services, meet legal obligations, and protect against fraud, as described in their policies. Support messages are kept only as long as reasonably necessary to resolve your request and maintain business records.
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no electronic transmission or storage method is completely secure.
Your Choices and Rights
You can revoke microphone, Bluetooth, nearby-device, or network permissions in your device settings. Some App features will not work without the related permission. You can delete locally stored preferences by clearing the App data or uninstalling K Mic.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing of your personal information. To make a request, email us at privacy@heaplabs.com. We may need to verify your request. For information controlled by Google, Apple, or RevenueCat, you may also need to contact that provider directly.
For step-by-step instructions, see our K Mic data deletion page.
Children’s Privacy
K Mic is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us so we can take appropriate action.
International Processing
Our service providers may process information in the United States and other countries, where privacy laws may differ from those in your location. Where required, appropriate safeguards are used for international transfers.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as K Mic or legal requirements change. We will post the revised policy here and update the date above.
