Sound Match privacy policy

The short version

Sound Match does not collect, store, share or sell any personal information. It has no accounts, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking, and it works without an internet connection.

Who we are

Sound Match is made by Nerdy Apps (“we”, “us”). This policy covers the Sound Match app for Android and iOS and its web version.

Information we collect

None. The app does not ask for a name, email address, location, photos, contacts or any other personal information, and it does not create or use device identifiers or advertising IDs.

Information kept on the device

To work, the app saves a few settings on the device itself:

• whether sound and vibration are on,
• the board size a game starts at, and whether boards grow after a win,
• the board size reached in each deck.

These settings never leave the device and are not sent to us or anyone else. Deleting the app (or clearing the website’s data in your browser) removes them.

Internet access

All pictures and sounds are included in the app, so it makes no network requests while you play. The web version is downloaded once from our website; like any website host, our hosting provider (GitHub Pages) may keep standard technical logs such as IP addresses to deliver and protect the site. We do not use those logs to identify or track anyone.

Permissions

On Android the app uses the vibration permission so cards can buzz gently when flipped or matched. It does not use the camera, microphone, location, contacts or storage.

Advertising and third parties

There are no ads and no third-party analytics, advertising or tracking tools in the app. The pictures and sounds come from openly licensed collections and are bundled with the app; using them does not involve sharing any data.

Children’s privacy

Sound Match is made for children. Because it collects no personal information from anyone, it collects none from children, in line with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Google Play Families Policy. Settings are behind a grown-ups check so children stay in the game.

Purchases

The app does not currently offer purchases. If we add an optional purchase in the future, it will be handled entirely by Google Play or the App Store, sit behind the grown-ups check, and this policy will be updated before that version is released.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update the effective date above and post the new version on this page before the change takes effect.
