AudioFlow Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy for AudioFlow Studio


Effective date: August 25, 2026

AudioFlow Studio ("the app," "we," "us") is a macOS menu-bar utility that adjusts

per-app volume, routes audio, applies a microphone noise gate, and records and

edits audio - all on your Mac. This policy explains how the app handles your

information. In short: the app does not collect, transmit, or share any personal

data.


INFORMATION WE DO NOT COLLECT

AudioFlow Studio does not collect, store on our servers, or transmit any personal

information. Specifically:

- We do not operate any servers, and the app sends no data about you anywhere. The

  app's only network activity is Apple's own In-App Purchase verification and

  opening this policy in your browser when you tap the link.

- We do not use analytics, tracking, advertising, or crash-reporting services.

- We do not include any third-party software that collects data.

- We do not create user accounts or ask you to sign in.


AUDIO ACCESS AND PROCESSING

To provide its core features, the app accesses:

- Application audio, using Apple's Core Audio process-tap APIs, to adjust and route

  the sound of other apps.

- Application and system audio, using Apple's ScreenCaptureKit framework, when you

  record. See "Screen Recording Permission" below.

- Microphone audio, when you enable microphone features such as the noise gate,

  auto-ducking, or recording.

All audio is processed in real time and entirely on your device. Audio is never

sent to us or to any third party. Nothing is recorded or saved unless you explicitly

start a recording.


SCREEN RECORDING PERMISSION

macOS requires the Screen Recording permission for any app that captures another

app's audio through Apple's ScreenCaptureKit framework, and AudioFlow Studio

requests it for that reason only.

AudioFlow Studio does not capture, store, transmit, or view your screen, windows,

window titles, or any image of your display; the capture stream's video portion is

reduced to the smallest size macOS allows and discarded on arrival. Only audio is

written, and only to a file on your own Mac.

You can revoke this permission at any time in System Settings > Privacy & Security

> Screen & System Audio Recording; doing so disables recording only.


RECORDINGS AND EXPORTED FILES

Recordings are saved automatically into the app's own private storage on your Mac,

in a folder named "AudioFlow Recordings." When you export or save an edited file,

it goes to the location you choose. In both cases the files stay on your device

(and any storage or iCloud you have configured through macOS); we have no access

to them, they are never uploaded to us, and you decide how long to keep them.

Deleting a file in Finder removes it permanently.


SETTINGS STORED ON YOUR DEVICE

The app saves its own preferences - such as hotkeys, presets, and recording quality

- locally on your Mac using macOS's standard settings storage. These contain no

personal information and are never transmitted.


PURCHASES

AudioFlow Studio offers optional paid upgrades (subscriptions and a one-time

purchase) through Apple's In-App Purchase system. All payment and billing

information is handled directly by Apple - we never see or receive your payment

details. Purchase and subscription status is verified on your device using Apple's

StoreKit. Apple's handling of this information is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy

(https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/).


PERMISSIONS

macOS may ask your permission for microphone access, audio capture, screen

recording (required for audio capture, as described above), and file access. These

permissions exist solely to provide the features described above. You can review or

revoke them at any time in System Settings > Privacy & Security.


DATA SHARING

We do not sell, rent, or share any personal information, because we do not collect

any. No audio, no recording, and no screen or window data is ever shared with any

third party.


CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

The app is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect any information

from anyone, including children under 13.


CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this policy if the app's functionality changes. Updates will be posted

at this location with a revised effective date.
