Our guiding principle is that any information we collect will be handled with the utmost care and respect, and every effort will be made to ensure confidentiality and security.
This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) applies to all mobile applications developed and published by Kauku (hereinafter referred to as the “Applications”), including future updates and upgrades, unless a separate privacy policy is provided.
In this Policy, “Kauku” may refer to the Applications or the developer Kauku, depending on the context.

Information Collection
No Collection of Personal Information
Kauku does not directly collect any personal identifying information from you.
Any data you generate within the Applications (such as recordings or tuning data) is stored only on your device. We do not collect, download, or copy this data.
Third-Party Services
Some of our Applications use third-party services, such as:
- Google AdMob (advertising)
- Google Firebase Analytics (usage statistics and analytics)
These services may automatically collect information such as:
- Device identifiers (e.g., Advertising ID)
- Approximate location data
- Usage and interaction data
- Ad-related information
This information does not personally identify you, but it may be used for analytics or to serve personalized advertisements.
For more details, please refer to:
You can disable personalized ads through your device settings:
- On Android, adjust ad preferences in system settings or Google Ads Settings: https://www.google.com/settings/ads
- On iOS, use “Limit Ad Tracking” in system settings.
Use and Disclosure of Information
- Kauku does not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties.
- Only employees, contractors, or partners directly involved in the development and maintenance of the Applications may have access to anonymized data, and they are required to comply with this Policy.
- We may disclose information if required by law or if necessary to protect the rights and safety of our users.

Children’s Privacy
Our Applications are not directed to children under the age of 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided information to us, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
Security and Risks
