Advertising Data: Our advertising partners may collect data as described in their privacy policies.

3. Local Data Processing

dB Sound Meter processes all audio data locally on your device. We do not record, store, or transmit your audio. Sound levels are analyzed in real-time and displayed immediately. No audio data leaves your device.
