SonicBloom Privacy Policy
SonicBloom is a music visualizer for Android, published by SudoBloom, LLC. This policy covers three things: the app itself, the Google Play listing you download it from, and this website.
The app
The app collects nothing. It has no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party SDKs. It makes no network connections.
Audio
SonicBloom reacts to audio in real time:
- Device mode reads the phone's audio output mix through Android's Visualizer API.
- Live mode listens through the microphone.
In both modes, audio is processed in memory, on your device, in real time. It is never recorded, stored, or transmitted anywhere. When you close the app, nothing remains.
Android requires the microphone permission (RECORD_AUDIO)
for both modes, including device mode, because the output-mix API is
gated behind it. That is why the app asks for microphone access even if
you never use Live mode.
Data stored on your device
Your preset favorites and settings (and whether you've acknowledged the photosensitivity warning) are stored locally on your device. They may be included in your device's standard Android backup to your own Google account. They are never sent to us or anyone else.
Google Play
SonicBloom is distributed through Google Play. When you download, update, or review the app, Google collects account, device, and usage information as described in Google's privacy policy. SudoBloom receives aggregated statistics from Google Play, such as install counts, crash reports, and ratings. These statistics do not identify you, and we have no way to connect them to you.
Purchases
SonicBloom is currently free with no in-app purchases. If a future version adds an optional paid upgrade, Google Play Billing will process the transaction. Your purchase is tied to your own Google account and restores automatically on new devices. SudoBloom receives order records from Google but never sees your payment details.
This website
sudobloom.com uses Google Analytics to measure site traffic, which sets cookies and collects usage data such as pages visited and approximate location. See how Google uses this data. The app never talks to this website.
Children
SonicBloom is not directed at children under 13.
Changes
If a future version of the app changes any of the above, this policy will be updated at this address before that version ships.
