Privacy Policy

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.

Website Privacy Practices

No Tracking or Analytics

Our website (oneeyedmanlabs.org) does not use analytics services, tracking cookies, or any form of user behavior monitoring. We don't collect information about your visits, browsing patterns, or interactions with our site.

No Cookies

This website does not set or use cookies for tracking, analytics, or any other purpose. Your browsing experience is completely private and anonymous.

Contact Information

When you contact us via email at [email protected], we only use your email address and message content to respond to your inquiry. We don't add you to mailing lists or use your information for any other purpose without your explicit consent.

External Links

Our website contains links to external services like GitHub. When you click these links, you'll be subject to the privacy policies of those external services. We encourage you to review their privacy practices.

External Services We Link To:

  • GitHub: For source code repositories and issue tracking
  • Cloudflare: For website hosting and domain services

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

Source Code Access

You can review the complete source code for AudioTag and verify our privacy claims at:

We welcome security researchers, privacy advocates, and curious users to examine our code and report any concerns.

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

Policy Changes and Updates

Notification of Changes

If we make any changes to this privacy policy, we will:

  • Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy
  • Post the updated policy on our website
  • For significant changes, provide notification through our GitHub repository

We are committed to maintaining our privacy-first approach and will not introduce data collection or tracking without clear notification and user consent.

Continuity of Privacy Protection

Our commitment to user privacy is fundamental to our mission. Any future updates will maintain or strengthen privacy protections, never weaken them.
