Amber Privacy Policy

None. Amber has no account, no sign-in, no email address, no name — there's nothing to create an account with in the first place.

Everything Amber creates from your recordings — the audio itself, and everything detected about it (tempo, key, instrument, transcript, tags, title) — is generated and stored only on your device, in Amber's own private app storage. None of it is ever transmitted anywhere, seen by us, or accessible to Insect Audio in any form.

Amber requests microphone access only to record when you tap the record button. That audio is processed and stored locally on your device; it is never sent to us or to any server.

Amber tags each recording automatically (tempo, key, instrument, transcript, a suggested title) using several on-device technologies, none of which send your audio or its content off your device:

If you choose to export a recording (as WAV or AIFF) and share it — via AirDrop, the Files app, Messages, or anywhere else — that's an explicit action you take through Apple's own share sheet. From that point, the file goes wherever you send it, the same as sharing any file from any app on your phone. Amber itself doesn't upload, back up, or transmit your recordings anywhere on its own.

Amber is distributed through the App Store. All payment is handled directly by Apple — we never receive, see, or process your payment details.

If you're using a beta version of Amber through TestFlight, Apple automatically provides us with crash reports and basic usage statistics as a standard part of the TestFlight service — this comes from Apple's platform, not anything Amber adds itself. If you choose to send beta feedback (a screenshot and a comment) through TestFlight, that's a separate, explicit action you take. See Apple's own privacy policy ↗ for what TestFlight/App Store Connect collects on Apple's side.

There's nothing for us to retain, because nothing is collected. Everything Amber creates lives on your device for as long as you keep the app or the recording — delete a recording, or delete the app, and it's gone. We have no copy anywhere.

Because Insect Audio doesn't collect or process any personal data through Amber, the usual data-subject rights (access, correction, deletion, portability) don't apply in the traditional sense — there's no data on our servers to request, correct, or delete, since none exists. If you have questions about this, or about anything else in this policy, contact us — see below.

Data that stays on your device is protected by iOS's own security and sandboxing (each app's data is isolated from other apps by the operating system). Since Amber never transmits your data anywhere, there's no transmission to secure.

We may update this policy as Amber changes. Changes will be posted here with a revised date.
