Effective date: September 4, 2026
Mountain Storm Instruments LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website https://mtnstormdaq.com and develops mobile applications, including Audio Spectrum and Volume Level Meter and GPS Mapping and Navigation.
This Privacy Policy explains what information may be processed when you visit our website or use one of our mobile applications, how that information is used, and the choices available to you.
1. Scope of This Policy
This policy applies to:
- Our website, https://mtnstormdaq.com.
- Our Android mobile applications that link to this policy.
- Information you send to us by email, through a contact form, or through other support channels.
Each application may have different features and permissions. The application-specific sections below describe the information accessed and processed by each application.
2. Information You Provide Directly
We may receive information that you voluntarily provide, including:
- Your name and email address if you contact us.
- Information included in a support request or other message.
- Information submitted through a website form, if available.
- Information you provide when reporting a problem or requesting assistance.
Please do not submit passwords, financial account information, government identification numbers, or other sensitive information unless it is specifically necessary for the support request.
3. Information Collected Through Our Website
When you visit our website, our hosting provider and website infrastructure may automatically process limited technical information, such as:
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device and operating-system information.
- Pages visited and approximate access times.
- Information used to detect security threats, abuse, or technical errors.
We use this information to operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website and to investigate technical problems.
If you contact us or submit information through the website, we use that information to respond to you, provide support, administer the website, and maintain business records.
We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use the website. These tools may process information such as pages viewed, approximate location, device type, browser type, and referring website. We use analytics information in aggregate to improve the website and our products.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website may use cookies or similar technologies.
Some cookies may be necessary for the website to function, maintain security, remember preferences, or deliver requested services. Where required by law, we will request consent before using nonessential cookies, such as analytics or advertising cookies.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the website.
We do not use advertising cookies unless specifically identified in this policy or in a cookie-consent notice.
5. Audio Spectrum and Volume Level Meter Application
The Audio Spectrum and Volume Level Meter application may request access to your device’s microphone while an audio-measurement feature is active.
When the application is operating as currently designed:
- Microphone input is processed on your device.
- The application does not record or save audio recordings.
- The application does not send microphone audio to us.
- The application does not share microphone audio with third parties.
- Microphone access is used to provide audio-level or spectrum-related features.
The application may display measurements or visualizations based on microphone input. These measurements are not intended to identify you.
If a future version adds audio recording, audio logs, cloud processing, analytics, or another feature that changes how audio or related information is handled, this policy will be updated before or when that feature is introduced.
6. GPS Mapping and Navigation Application
The GPS Mapping and Navigation application may request access to your device’s location to provide mapping, navigation, positioning, or related features.
When the application is operating as currently designed:
- Location information is processed on your device.
- Location information is not sent to us.
- Location information is not sold or shared by us with third parties.
- The application uses location only when necessary for an enabled feature.
- You can control location access through your Android device settings.
If the application allows you to save routes, tracks, waypoints, or other location-related information, that information may be stored locally on your device. You can delete locally stored information through the application, where supported, or by clearing the application’s data or uninstalling the application.
If a future version adds online maps, cloud synchronization, account features, location sharing, analytics, or another feature that changes how location information is handled, this policy will be updated before or when that feature is introduced.
7. Information Stored Locally on Your Device
Some application settings, preferences, measurements, routes, maps, or other content may be stored locally on your device to provide application features.
We generally cannot access information that remains only on your device. You may be able to delete locally stored application information by using the deletion features within the application, clearing the application’s data through Android settings, or uninstalling the application.
Uninstalling an application may not delete information that you independently exported, backed up, or stored elsewhere.
8. Information We Do Not Intentionally Collect Through the Applications
Unless an application specifically states otherwise, our applications are not designed to collect your name, email address, contacts, text messages, photographs, passwords, or financial information.
Our applications may nevertheless process technical information required by Android, Google Play, your device manufacturer, or third-party services used by the application. The handling of that information may also be governed by the applicable third party’s privacy policy.
9. Third-Party Services
Our website or applications may rely on third-party services for functions such as hosting, website security, email, payment processing, analytics, crash reporting, maps, app distribution, or technical support.
Those providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and contractual obligations. We do not sell personal information to third parties.
Third-party services currently used by our website or applications may include:
- Website hosting: [Hostgator.com]
Remove any provider from this list that you do not use. Add any provider or software development kit that can access personal information, device identifiers, diagnostics, location, microphone data, or other user data.–>
