Privacy Policy

Last updated: 11 September 2026

This policy explains what the Boring Ringtone mobile application ("the app") does and does not do with your information.

Information we collect

None. We operate no servers and have no account system. We cannot see your files, your ringtones, your library, or how you use the app. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Data stored on your device

The app writes the following to your device's own storage. It is never transmitted, and it is removed when you uninstall the app:

• The ringtones, notification sounds and alarms you create.
• A local library file (titles, favourites, durations) in JSON format.
• Your preferences, such as loop playback and the default tone type.
• A daily counter of free exports used, so the free quota can reset.

Permissions and why they are needed

• Microphone — only while you are recording inside the app. The recording is written to your device and never leaves it.
• Modify system settings (Android) — required by Android to set a sound as your default ringtone, notification or alarm. It is used for nothing else.
• Contacts (Android, optional) — only if you choose to assign a ringtone to a specific contact. The app writes the ringtone to that contact record on your device. Contact data is never read for any other purpose and never leaves the device.
• Files and media you pick — the app reads only the specific file you select through the system picker or share sheet.

Text to speech

The "text to tone" feature uses the speech engine built into your operating system (Android's text-to-speech service, or Apple's AVSpeechSynthesizer). Your text is handed to that system component on your device. We do not send it to any third-party speech API. Depending on your device settings, your operating system's own speech engine may itself use network services; that behaviour is governed by Google's or Apple's privacy policy, not ours.

Purchases

Payment itself is handled entirely by Google Play or the Apple App Store. We never see or store your payment details — no card number, no billing address, no name.

To keep track of whether your Pro purchase is still valid (including after you reinstall the app or move to a new phone), the app uses RevenueCat, a purchase-management service. When you open the paywall or complete a purchase, the following is sent to RevenueCat's servers:

• A random, app-generated identifier. It is not your email address, not your Google or Apple account, and is not linked to your identity.
• The purchase receipt issued by the store, so it can be verified.
• Basic technical details needed to price and validate the purchase: app version, platform, device model, operating-system version, and country.

RevenueCat returns a yes/no answer about your Pro access, which the app keeps locally. This check runs when the app starts, so that Pro stays unlocked and prices are ready before you open the paywall. Your files, ringtones, recordings, contacts and typed text are never sent to RevenueCat or anywhere else — the request carries nothing but the items listed above.

Deleting your data

Everything the app creates — your ringtones, your library and your settings — lives only on your device. Uninstalling the app deletes all of it. There is no account to close and no copy on our side to erase.

The one exception is the purchase record described above, which is held by RevenueCat against a random identifier. To have that record deleted, email ongorunet@gmail.com with the subject "data deletion request". The identifier is shown at the very bottom of the app's Settings tab as "Purchase ID" — tap it to copy it, and include it so we can find the record. Requests are handled within 30 days.

Deleting the purchase record also removes the proof of your subscription or lifetime purchase, so Pro will no longer be restored on a new device. Cancelling a subscription is separate and is done in Google Play → Subscriptions.

Children

The app does not collect personal data from anyone, including children under 13.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this address with a new "last updated" date.
