Privacy Policy

Last updated: 12 July 2026

This policy explains what MyMic ("we", "us") does with your data when you use the MyMic: Bluetooth Mic & Speaker iPhone app (the "App").

The short version:

  • Your voice never leaves your phone. It is processed live, on-device, and sent straight to your speaker. It is never uploaded to us or anyone else.
  • There is no account. No name, no email, no password, no sign-in.
  • No ads, no advertising ID, no tracking across apps or websites.
  • We collect anonymous diagnostics and usage data so we can fix crashes and see which features get used. That is the only thing that leaves your device, apart from purchases and anything you deliberately type into the in-app feedback board.

Your audio

Live microphone audio is never recorded, stored, or transmitted. When you go live, the App takes audio from your iPhone's microphone, processes it in real time on the device (voice effect, echo detection, level meter) and plays it out of your connected Bluetooth or AirPlay speaker. The audio exists only in memory for the instant it takes to pass through. It is never written to a file, never uploaded, and never sent to us.

One exception, and it stays on your phone. During onboarding, the App offers to record a short voice sample — a maximum of three seconds — so you can hear what the voice effects sound like. That sample is written to your device's temporary storage, used to render the previews, and deleted when you re-record or finish. It is never uploaded. If you skip that step, no recording is made at all.

What we collect

1. Anonymous diagnostics and usage data

The App sends diagnostic and usage events to our own servers (operated by us on Fly.io) to keep the App working. This starts when you open the App. It includes:

  • Your device model (e.g. "iPhone 15 Pro") and iOS version
  • The App version and your device language
  • Whether you are on Wi-Fi or cellular (not which network)
  • A random session ID, and a random device ID we generate and store in your device's Keychain so we can tell repeat crashes apart. It is not your Apple ID, not your advertising ID, and it is not linked to your identity. Deleting the App removes it.
  • App-open and session-start events
  • Error details when something fails — a Bluetooth connection, a purchase, a Live Activity, or the onboarding preview

One thing worth calling out: when a Bluetooth connection fails, the error report includes the name of the speaker you were trying to connect to (for example, "SW-208" or "JBL Flip 6"), because that is what lets us reproduce the bug. If you have renamed a speaker to something personal, that name would be included in that diagnostic report.

We never attach your identity to any of this, because we do not have it.

2. The in-app feedback board

If you report a bug or request a feature from Settings — or from the end of the "speaker not working?" helper — the title and text you type are sent to our servers and shown on a feedback board that other MyMic users can see, along with any replies or votes you post. A diagnostic summary (App version, iOS version, speaker name, the troubleshooting steps you tried) may be attached to a report you submit from the speaker helper.

This is the one place where anything you write becomes visible to others. Please do not type anything into it that you would not want published.

3. Purchases

Subscriptions and the lifetime unlock are handled by RevenueCat and by Apple. RevenueCat receives an anonymous, randomly generated ID and your subscription status so the App knows whether Pro is unlocked. Payment is processed entirely by Apple — we never see your card details, billing address, or Apple ID.

What we do not collect

  • Your name, email address, phone number or postal address
  • Any recording of your voice
  • Location data
  • Contacts, photos, calendar or health data
  • Your advertising identifier (IDFA) — the App does not ask for tracking permission because it does not track you
  • Anything for advertising or marketing purposes. We do not serve ads and we do not sell, rent, or share your data with data brokers or advertisers.

Permissions the App asks for

Microphone — required. Without it the App cannot do the one thing it does. Audio is used live and discarded, as described above.

Bluetooth — required, to find and connect to your speaker.

Background audio — the App keeps broadcasting while your screen is locked or you are in another app. It is not doing anything else in the background.

You can revoke any of these at any time in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security, or in Settings → MyMic.

What is stored on your device

Your settings stay on your phone and are never uploaded: whether you have completed onboarding, your light/dark theme choice, your echo-reduction and auto-duck preferences, a cached copy of your Pro status, and whether you have already been asked to rate the App. If a diagnostic event cannot be sent (because you are offline), it is held on the device and retried later.

Deleting the App deletes all of it.

How long we keep things

Diagnostic and usage events are retained only for as long as they are useful for fixing bugs and understanding feature use. Posts on the feedback board remain visible until we or you remove them.

Your rights

Because the App has no account, we hold no data that identifies you. Still:

  • Access / deletion — you can ask what diagnostic data is associated with your random device ID, and ask us to delete it. Email us and we will tell you what we would need to find it.
  • Removal — deleting the App removes the random device ID, your settings, and any queued diagnostics from your phone.
  • Feedback board — email us to have a post or reply you made taken down.
  • iOS controls — permissions are revocable at any time in iOS Settings.

If you are in the UK or EU, you have rights under UK GDPR / GDPR (access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability) and may complain to your local supervisory authority. If you are in California, we do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined by the CCPA/CPRA.

Children

MyMic is rated 4+ and is suitable for all ages. It has no account system, collects no personal information, and contains no ads. It does contain a feedback board where users can post text, so parents may wish to supervise its use. Parents can restrict the App through iOS Screen Time and Family Sharing.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy we will update the date at the top of this page, and for anything significant we will say so in the App's release notes.

Day-to-day support and bug reports are handled inside the App — open Settings → Report a bug or request a feature. That reaches us fastest, because it attaches the diagnostics we need.
