Noctune
Privacy Policy
Effective date: August 3, 2026
Noctune is a white-noise and ambient-sound app. We designed it to work with minimal personal data: your listening preferences are stored on your device, and we only process subscription information when you choose to purchase or restore a subscription.
1. Scope
This Privacy Policy explains how Noctune ("Noctune", "we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use the Noctune Android application and related services. By using Noctune, you acknowledge the practices described in this policy.
2. Information We Handle
Information stored on your device. Noctune stores your sound preferences, selected language, favorites, playback history, download-list selections, timer and audio settings, and VIP sound selection locally on your device. This information is used to provide the app's features and is not sent to our servers by the app.
Subscription information. If you make or restore a subscription purchase, Noctune processes the subscription product ID, purchase token, order ID, purchase state, and acknowledgement status received from Google Play. We send this information to our subscription-verification service operated through UniCloud solely to verify and activate your subscription entitlement. Google Play processes payment details; we do not receive or store your full payment card details.
Technical and server-log information. When the app retrieves audio, artwork, or this policy from our servers, our hosting providers may automatically receive standard technical information such as IP address, request time, requested URL, device/browser user agent, and security logs. This information is used for delivery, security, troubleshooting, and service operation.
3. Information We Do Not Request
Noctune does not request access to your precise location, contacts, camera, microphone, photos, files, health data, or advertising identifier. The app does not include third-party advertising or behavioral advertising analytics.
4. How We Use Information
- To provide sound playback, timers, favorites, download-list, and personalization features.
- To verify, restore, and manage subscriptions.
- To maintain, secure, debug, and improve the reliability of our services.
- To comply with applicable law and enforce our legal rights when necessary.
5. Sharing and Service Providers
We do not sell personal information. We share information only as needed with service providers that help us operate Noctune, including Google Play for purchases, UniCloud for subscription verification, and hosting providers that deliver app content. These providers may process information only for the services they provide to us and under their own applicable terms and privacy policies. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the safety, rights, or security of users or others.
6. Data Retention and Deletion
Local app data remains on your device until you clear it in the app where that option is available, clear the app's storage in your device settings, or uninstall the app. Subscription-verification and server-log records are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for subscription support, security, operations, and legal obligations.
7. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information, including encrypted HTTPS connections for supported service requests. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Your Choices and Rights
You can manage local preferences inside Noctune and remove local app data through your device settings. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability of personal information. To make a privacy request or ask a question about this policy, use the developer contact details shown in Noctune's Google Play listing.
9. Children
Noctune is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us through the developer contact details in the Google Play listing so that we can address the request.
10. International Processing
Your information may be processed in countries where our hosting and service providers operate. Those countries may have data-protection laws that differ from the laws of your country.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to Noctune, legal requirements, or our data practices. We will post the updated policy at this address and change the effective date. Where required by law, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent.
