PRAXIS SCIENCE LAB / ANDROID
Clear Audio — Privacy Policy
How Praxis Science Lab handles information for this Android app.
Effective date: 2026-09-11. This notice describes Android version 0.12.0-dev (13) and the configuration documented below.
Praxis Science Lab is the publishing brand used by Traian Anghel. For support or privacy questions, email traiananghel@gmail.com. Include the app name and version. Do not send passwords, medical records, private recordings or other sensitive information.
Information handled by the app
Selected audio files are decoded and processed on the device. Sound settings, equalizer gains, output-category profiles and language are stored in app-private storage. Audio files, samples and titles are not supplied to the advertising driver. Clear Audio has no user account, developer analytics service or application cloud backend. Google advertising and consent services may process connection and device information as described below. A compatibility report is exported only when you choose a destination; review it before sharing because it can include device, playback and diagnostic details.
Permissions, services and sharing
The downloadable development APK includes Google Mobile Ads Next-Gen 1.4.0 and User Messaging Platform 4.0.0 with Google's sample application and banner identifiers. Internet and network-state access support these services. Google documents IP addresses (which can indicate approximate location), interactions, diagnostics and identifiers for its advertising SDK. This app removes the advertising-ID and AdServices permissions; other connection information or identifiers may still be processed. Test ads do not generate revenue and are not a no-data guarantee. Ad requests require an eligible More page, a successful consent-information update and permission from UMP to request ads. If the service is unavailable, the app does not bypass that check.
Notifications, foreground services, audio-setting access and a playback wake lock support listening and experimental external effects. No microphone, location, contacts, accessibility service or root access is requested. You select audio through Android's file picker. Export destinations may be cloud-backed providers controlled by you. The development APK also declares DUMP for optional advanced diagnostics; installation does not grant it, and normal playback does not need it. The separate release configuration omits that diagnostic permission and disables advertising.
Retention and deletion
Delete saved output profiles in the app or clear Android app storage to remove private preferences, profiles, consent state and diagnostic records. Uninstalling removes private app data. Android app backup is disabled. Original audio files and exported reports remain in their selected locations until you delete them separately. Clearing app storage does not remove records held by Google or another provider; those providers handle their own records under their policies. Praxis Science Lab has no server copy of your audio or profiles.
Security
Private app files use Android application storage protections. No additional database-encryption guarantee is made. Keep your device protected and control access to files you export. There is no Praxis Science Lab account to delete for this app.
Support messages and external pages
If you contact us, we receive your email address and the information you choose to send. We use it to answer your request and resolve the issue, not for advertising. Correspondence remains only as needed for that purpose and any applicable legal obligations; you can request deletion. Our email provider processes messages under its own terms. We do not sell support correspondence.
Opening this policy or other external links sends ordinary connection information to the website or browser provider. See our website privacy notice. App-local data is not automatically included in those requests.
Your choices
You can clear local data and use the contact above to ask about support correspondence or request access, correction or deletion where applicable. We may need information to identify the relevant request. You may also contact your local data protection authority. Local app information is processed to provide the functions you use; support correspondence is processed to respond to your request.
Provider information: Google privacy policy, Google Mobile Ads Next-Gen data disclosure and Google UMP privacy options. Privacy options are available from More when the provider requires them. Test ad identifiers do not mean that no connection or device information is processed.
Changes
We update this notice when app behavior or relevant practices change. The date and version above identify the policy you are reading.
