Welcome to JamPulse – Find Musicians & Jam Nearby ("JamPulse", "we", "our", or "us"). We are committed to protecting your personal data and respecting your privacy rights. This Privacy Policy details the types of information we collect, how it is used, and how your privacy is protected when you download and use our Android mobile application on Google Play.
1. Information We Collect
A. Location Data
JamPulse requests location permissions (ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION and ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) to power the local musician discovery radar:
- Purpose: Calculating distance to nearby musicians, bands, rehearsal studios, and live jam sessions within your chosen search radius (e.g., 5km - 50km).
- Control: You may grant or revoke location access at any time through your Android device settings. JamPulse also supports manual city/venue search without location permissions.
B. Audio and Microphone Data
JamPulse requests microphone permission (RECORD_AUDIO):
- Purpose: Audio level visualization, tuner calibration, and recording short musical snippets or stems when you initiate a recording.
- Protection: Audio is processed strictly when you tap record or open audio tools. We never record background audio silently.
C. User Profile & Community Content
- Artist alias, instruments played, skill proficiency, favorite genres, and musical bio.
- Jam collaboration requests, messages, and raw idea stems you share with other musicians.
D. Advertising & Device Identifiers (Google AdMob)
To keep JamPulse free for indie musicians, we integrate Google AdMob. AdMob may collect:
- Google Advertising ID (GAID)
- IP address and broad geographic area
- Device model, manufacturer, and Android operating system version
2. Third-Party Services
We work with trusted third-party providers that adhere to rigorous data safety standards:
- Google Mobile Ads (AdMob): Used to deliver in-app banner and interstitial ads. Please review the Google Privacy Policy.
- Google Play Services: Used for app updates, authentication, and core system diagnostics.
3. How We Use Information
- Connect nearby musicians, vocalists, songwriters, and beatmakers.
- Facilitate real-time jam session coordination and stem sharing.
- Serve relevant ads and maintain platform infrastructure.
- Detect crashes and optimize compatibility for Android 15/16 (SDK 35+).
4. Data Retention and Deletion
You have full autonomy over your data:
- You may update or delete your profile information, jam posts, and stems inside the app at any time.
- To request full account deletion, email us at diku1968.dev@gmail.com. All personal account records will be permanently removed within 30 days.
5. GDPR and CCPA Rights
Under applicable international privacy laws (GDPR for EU/EEA, CCPA for California):
- You have the right to request access, correction, portability, or complete erasure of your data.
- You can opt out of targeted advertising by resetting or deleting your Advertising ID in
Android Settings > Google > Ads.
