ReverseAudio integrates with the following third-party services. Each service has its own privacy policy governing how they handle data:

Note: We have configured these services to collect only the minimum data necessary for functionality. We do not use tracking SDKs beyond these essential services.

4. Data Storage and Security

4.1 Local Storage

All audio files processed by ReverseAudio are stored locally on your device in your app's private storage area. This data:

• Is protected by iOS security features
• Is only accessible by the ReverseAudio app
• Can be deleted by you at any time through the app or iOS settings
• Is automatically removed when you uninstall the app

4.2 Data Security Measures

We implement industry-standard security practices:

• No Server Storage: We do not maintain servers that store user audio or personal data
• Secure APIs: Third-party service integrations use secure, encrypted connections

4.3 Data Breaches

While we implement strong security measures, no method of electronic storage is 100% secure. In the unlikely event of a data breach affecting our analytics or subscription systems, we will:

• Notify affected users within 72 hours (GDPR requirement)
• Report to relevant authorities as required by law
• Take immediate action to secure systems and prevent further breaches

• Subscription Data: Retained by RevenueCat for the duration of your subscription plus 12 months for tax/legal compliance
• Crash Reports: Retained for 90 days for debugging purposes

When you uninstall the app, all local data on your device is immediately deleted by iOS.
