Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 22, 2025

1. Information We Collect

Microphone Access: Is It Noisy? requests access to your device's microphone solely for the purpose of measuring ambient noise levels. Audio is processed locally in your browser and is never recorded, stored, or transmitted to our servers.

Local Storage: We store your measurement history locally in your browser using localStorage. This data remains on your device and is never sent to our servers.

Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This includes information such as pages visited, time spent on pages, and general geographic location.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide noise measurement functionality

• Store your measurement history locally on your device

• Improve our website and user experience

• Understand how visitors use our service

3. Audio Privacy

No Recording: Is It Noisy? does not record, store, or transmit any audio from your microphone. The Web Audio API processes sound levels in real-time within your browser only.

Your Control: You can revoke microphone access at any time through your browser settings. Without microphone access, the measurement feature will not function, but you can still access all educational content.

4. Data Storage

All measurement data is stored locally in your browser's localStorage. We do not have access to this data. You can clear your measurement history at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or site data.

5. Cookies and Tracking

We use Google Analytics, which uses cookies to collect anonymous usage data. These cookies help us understand:

• Which pages are most popular

• How users navigate our site

• General demographics and interests

You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or by blocking cookies in your browser settings.

6. Third-Party Services

Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to analyze website traffic. Google Analytics collects information anonymously and reports website trends without identifying individual visitors. Learn more about Google's privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy

7. Children's Privacy

Is It Noisy? does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access your locally stored measurement data

• Delete your measurement history (clear browser localStorage)

• Revoke microphone access at any time

• Opt out of analytics tracking

9. Data Security

Since all measurement data is stored locally on your device and we do not collect or store audio data, your privacy is protected. We use industry-standard security measures to protect our website and any analytics data.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
