Your privacy is fundamental to our mission
Our Commitment to Privacy
At One Eyed Man Labs, privacy isn't just a feature—it's a foundational principle that guides every decision we make in developing our applications.
Last Updated: December 2024
Privacy at a Glance
- No Data Collection: We don't collect, store, or transmit your personal data
- Local Storage: All your content stays on your device
- No Tracking: We don't use analytics, cookies, or tracking technologies
- Open Source: Our code is publicly available for verification
AudioTag Privacy Practices
Local Data Storage
AudioTag stores all your audio recordings, text content, and NFC tag associations locally on your Android device. This data never leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to back it up using Android's built-in backup system.
What AudioTag Stores Locally:
- Audio recordings you create
- Text content for text-to-speech tags
- NFC tag identifiers and associations
- App preferences and settings
- Theme and accessibility configuration
No Network Access
AudioTag does not require or request internet access. The app functions entirely offline, ensuring that your audio content and personal information cannot be transmitted to external servers.
What This Means:
- No cloud uploads or syncing
- No analytics or usage tracking
- No automatic updates of app content
- No communication with external services
Required Permissions
AudioTag only requests the minimum permissions necessary for its core functionality:
Permissions and Their Purpose:
- Microphone Access: Required to record audio messages for NFC tags
- NFC Access: Necessary to read from and write to NFC tags
- Storage Access: Used to store audio files and app data locally on your device
These permissions are only used for the app's intended functionality and never for data collection or tracking purposes.

Your Data Rights
Complete Control
Since all AudioTag data is stored locally on your device, you have complete control over your information:
- Access: All your data is accessible through the app interface
- Deletion: Uninstalling the app removes all associated data
- Portability: Use the app's export features to back up your content
- Modification: Edit or delete any content at any time
Android Backup Service
AudioTag integrates with Android's Auto Backup service, which may back up your app data to your Google account if you have this feature enabled in your device settings. This backup is:
- Controlled entirely by your Android device settings
- Encrypted and managed by Google, not by us
- Used only for restoring your data when you reinstall the app
- Subject to Google's privacy policy, not ours
You can disable Android Auto Backup in your device settings if you prefer not to use this feature.
Open Source Transparency
Verifiable Privacy
All One Eyed Man Labs applications are open source, meaning our privacy claims can be independently verified by examining our source code.
What This Means for You:
- Complete transparency about how the app works
- Independent security and privacy audits are possible
- Community oversight of our privacy practices
- No hidden functionality or data collection

Children's Privacy
Our applications do not collect any personal information from users of any age. Since AudioTag operates entirely offline and stores data only on the user's device, it is safe for users of all ages, including children under 13.
Parents and guardians can be confident that:
- No personal information is collected from children
- No data is transmitted to external servers
- The app functions entirely offline
- All content remains under parental control on the device
