Privacy Policy

Last updated: 19 October 2026

1. Who we are and what this covers

OwnMic is developed and operated by [YOUR NAME], an independent developer. "OwnMic", "we" and "us" in this policy mean the developer of the OwnMic apps and this website. This policy covers the OwnMic Windows app, the OwnMic Android app, this website and our support chat.

2. The apps: what we do not collect

• No account, sign-up, name, or email is required to use the apps.
• We do not record, store, or transmit your microphone audio to any server. Audio goes straight from your phone to your PC over your local network.
• No advertising identifiers, no third-party trackers, and no analytics inside the apps.
• The current apps don't send usage or install reports to us. If a future version adds update checks or install reports, we will update this policy first and list exactly what is sent.

3. Data stored on your own devices

To make pairing convenient, the apps keep a small amount of information locally on your device only:

• Trusted device names and their pairing keys, so you don't have to enter the PIN every time.
• Your preferences (theme, last-used settings).

This data stays on your device and can be cleared at any time by using "Forget device" or by uninstalling the app.

4. Local network & permissions

OwnMic needs the microphone permission (to capture your voice) and local network access (to discover your PC and stream audio over Wi-Fi or a hotspot). These are used only for the app's core function while you are connected.

5. This website

• Visit counter. To count visits and tell new visitors from returning ones, your browser keeps a random ID in its local storage, and each visit sends that ID to our server with the time. It contains no name, and we don't store your IP address with your visits.
• Downloads. When you download an app we record the version, the platform (Windows or Android), your IP address and your browser's user-agent, so we can count downloads and spot abuse.
• Fonts. Pages load their font from Google Fonts, so your browser connects to Google, which receives your IP address. See Google's privacy policy.

6. Support chat

If you message us through the chat button, we store on our server what you give us: the name you enter, the platform you choose (Windows or Android), your messages, and any photos or videos you send. We use them only to help you. Your browser also remembers your name and a chat ID in its local storage, so the conversation is still there when you come back. While you're connected, our server briefly uses your IP address to stop spam; it isn't saved with your chat.

7. How long we keep it, and your choices

• We keep chats and download records only as long as we need them for support and download counts.
• To have your chat deleted, ask us in the chat and we'll remove it.
• Clearing this site's data in your browser removes the visit ID and the saved chat details from your device.

8. Children's privacy

OwnMic is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect any personal information from them.

9. Changes to this policy

If we make meaningful changes, we'll update this page and the "last updated" date above.
