Privacy Policy
Local-first · Short voice creation
Welcome to Chime. We respect your privacy. This policy explains how the app handles information related to short voice topic cards.
1. Information we process
- Topic voice replies you record (5–20 seconds), card titles, cover images, and text comments;
- On-device state such as Coins balance, unlocked effects, saves, and check-ins;
- Reports you submit, block lists, and messages you send when contacting the developer.
This content is stored on your device by default for sonic cards, community browsing, and personal archives.
2. Permissions
- Microphone: Used only when you tap Record to capture a 5–20 second solo topic reply. No live rooms, voice chat, or background listening.
- Camera: Used only when you choose to shoot a cover for a card.
- Photo Library (read): Reads only the image you pick when importing a cover.
- Photo Library (add): Saves an image only when you confirm a high-resolution collection export.
- Notifications: Optional topic reminders when you enable them in Settings.
- Tracking (ATT): With your consent, may help personalize display preferences and basic performance stats. Declining does not affect recording, browsing, publishing, or export.
3. What we do not do
Chime does not offer live voice rooms, livestream co-hosting, one-to-one private chat, or stranger matching. We do not sell your audio or comments, and we do not scan your entire photo library without permission.
4. In-app purchases
Coins are consumable in-app purchases processed by Apple. We do not store full payment card details. The app has no subscriptions, auto-renewals, or Restore flow.
