Privacy Policy | IPlayam Media (Lipsrec Voice Recorder)

1. Introduction & Scope

IPlayam Media ("we," "our," or "us"), operator of https://iplayam.site/ (Motto: "I Play, You Play Too!"), respects your privacy and is committed to complete transparency regarding how our applications and services handle user data.

This Privacy Policy applies to:

Lipsrec Voice Recorder (Google Play Package Name: com.lipsrecvoice.recorder)
All companion mobile utilities, games, and streaming services published by IPlayam Media
Visitors and users of our official website at https://iplayam.site/

This policy is specifically structured to satisfy the requirements of the Google Play Store Developer Program Policies and the Google Play Data Safety disclosure framework.

2. Core Privacy Commitment: Zero Cloud Audio Collection

100% On-Device Audio Processing: Lipsrec Voice Recorder (com.lipsrecvoice.recorder) does NOT collect, upload, transmit, listen to, or store any of your voice recordings on external servers. All audio recording, encoding (.m4a and .amr), playback, and file renaming take place strictly locally on your Android device.

We do not require you to create an account, register an email address, or sign in to use Lipsrec Voice Recorder. We do not sell, rent, or trade any personal data or audio files with advertisers or third parties.

3. Detailed Android Permissions Disclosure

To function properly on Android (Minimum SDK 24 through Target SDK 36), Lipsrec Voice Recorder declares and requests the following system permissions:

Permission Name	Why It Is Required & How It Is Used
android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO	Microphone Access: Required to capture audio from your device's hardware microphone when you explicitly tap the Record button. Audio capture never starts automatically in the background without direct user action.
android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MICROPHONE	Uninterrupted Background Recording: Required on modern Android versions (including Android 14 / SDK 34 through SDK 36) so your recording is not terminated by the operating system when you switch apps or lock your screen. While active, a persistent notification is always visible.
android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS	Recording Status & Controls: Required on Android 13 (API 33) and higher to display the active foreground service notification containing Pause, Resume, and Stop controls.
android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (Restricted to maxSdkVersion="28")	Legacy Public Folder Saving: Requested only on Android 9 (Pie) and older devices to save your audio recordings inside the public `/Music/Lipsrec` directory so your files remain safe even if you uninstall the app. On Android 10 and newer, Scoped Storage handles this without broad storage permissions.
android.permission.INTERNET	Policy Viewing: Used strictly to load this official Privacy Policy web page inside the in-app WebView and to open external support links when requested by the user.

4. Local Storage, SharedPreferences & Voluntary Contact Data

4.1 Audio File Storage Location

Recordings created in Lipsrec Voice Recorder are saved directly to your device's internal shared storage under /storage/emulated/0/Music/Lipsrec/ (via Environment.DIRECTORY_MUSIC). Storing files in this standard public media directory ensures that you can easily access your recordings using any file manager and that your recordings are not wiped if you uninstall the application.

4.2 Local Application Preferences

The app uses Android's local SharedPreferences (app_prefs) on your device to remember non-personal configuration choices, specifically:

Whether you have completed the initial language selection screen (is_language_selected) and your chosen language code (app_lang).
Your preferred audio recording format (audio_format: either m4a AAC or amr/3gp).

4.3 Voluntary Support Communications

If you choose to contact us via the "Send Feedback" option in the app or through the contact form on https://iplayam.site/, your email client will send your inquiry to support@iplayam.site. We use your email address and message contents solely to reply to your support request and troubleshoot technical issues.

5. Data Retention, Management & User Deletion Controls

Because IPlayam Media does not store your recordings or personal data on remote servers, you retain 100% control over your data at all times:

Rename Files: You can rename any recording directly inside the "Saved" tab of Lipsrec Voice Recorder.
Delete Recordings: Tapping the Delete (trash) icon next to any recording in the "Saved" tab and confirming the prompt permanently deletes the audio file from your device storage.
Reset Preferences: You can clear your saved language and audio format preferences at any time by clearing the app's storage cache in your Android system settings.
Email Deletion Requests: If you have previously emailed support@iplayam.site and wish to have your support correspondence deleted from our inbox, simply email us with the subject line "Delete Support Record" and we will purge it within 7 business days.

6. Third-Party Services & System Intents

Lipsrec Voice Recorder is distributed through the official Google Play Store. Google may collect standard, aggregated installation and crash diagnostics governed by the Google Privacy Policy.When you tap "Rate Us," "More Apps," "Share App," or "Send Feedback" on the Settings page, the app uses standard Android system intents to open the Google Play Store app, the Android system share sheet, or your chosen email client.

7. Data Security Measures

We engineer our mobile applications using modern Android security practices, including disabling unnecessary application data backups (android:allowBackup="false" in our manifest), enforcing HTTPS (TLS) encryption across https://iplayam.site/, and scoping permissions strictly to user-initiated actions.

8. Children's Privacy

Our website, applications, and services do not knowingly solicit or collect any personal information from children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). If a parent or guardian believes that a child has sent personal information to our support email, please contact support@iplayam.site and we will delete such communication immediately.

9. Your Global Privacy Rights (GDPR, CCPA & NDPA)

Depending on your location, you have rights under data protection regulations including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA). These include the right to know what personal data is collected, the right to request deletion, and the right to non-discrimination. Because Lipsrec Voice Recorder processes all audio locally on your device without cloud collection, these rights are automatically upheld by design.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

IPlayam Media may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect new features, additional apps or games, or updated Google Play Console compliance standards.
