Privacy policy

Effective

Introduction

This policy explains what information Ringtone & Text Tone Maker ("the app") handles and where it goes. The app is made by Winton Gee ("we" or "us"). In short: your sounds stay on your iPhone, and we never see them.

Information stored on your iPhone

The app stores the following in its own storage on your device. It is not uploaded to us or to anyone else.

  • Your sounds: the audio you import or record, and the tones you make from it.
  • Your tones' settings: each tone's name, kind, selection, fades and effects, so you can edit it later.
  • Your alarms: the time, repeat days, label and tone of each alarm you make.
  • App settings: your setup checklist, your preferences and whether you have Pro.

Microphone, contacts and alarms

Microphone. The app uses the microphone only while you record a sound, after you tap Record. The recording stays on your iPhone.

Contacts. When you give a person their own sound, you pick them with the iPhone contact picker, and the app opens that one card so you can choose the tone. It does not read, store or upload your contacts. If iOS asks for access to Contacts, it is only so the app can open the card you picked.

Alarms. Alarms are scheduled on your iPhone with Apple's AlarmKit. The tone file is copied into the app's own storage so iOS can play it. No server is involved.

Purchases

Pro is sold through the App Store. Apple processes the payment; we never receive your payment details.

The app uses RevenueCat to confirm purchases and check whether Pro is active. RevenueCat receives:

  • Your purchase history and subscription status for this app
  • An anonymous identifier the app creates, which is not linked to your name or email

RevenueCat processes this data as our service provider and provides the same or equal protection of your data as this policy describes.

RevenueCat does not receive your sounds, tones, alarms or contacts. For how RevenueCat handles data, see its privacy policy (opens in a new tab).

Information we do not collect

  • No account or sign-in
  • No uploads of your sounds, tones or alarms
  • No analytics or tracking
  • No advertising
  • No reading or uploading of your contacts
  • No location

Keeping and deleting your data

  • Delete a tone: swipe it in the library and tap Delete. A tone you already added to your iPhone stays in its tone lists until you remove it there.
  • Delete an alarm: swipe it in Alarms and tap Delete.
  • Delete everything: delete the app from your iPhone. This removes all the data it stored on the device.
  • Purchase history: your purchase record with Apple and RevenueCat is tied to your Apple Account and stays after you delete the app, so you can restore Pro later. Purchase records are kept as long as needed to provide and restore Pro and to meet legal and accounting obligations, and are deleted on request.

Children's privacy

The app is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children. If you think a child has sent us personal information by email, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
