Phone Doctor — Privacy Policy
Phone Doctor (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information the Phone Doctor app (the “App”) accesses on your device and how it is handled.
1. Information accessed on your device
Microphone
Some tools use the device microphone:
- Microphone Test records up to 5 seconds of audio for immediate playback.
- Decibel Meter, Spectrum Analyzer, Hearing Test sample microphone input in real time to measure sound levels and frequency content.
Microphone data is processed only on your device, in memory, in real time. It is never recorded to disk, uploaded to any server, or shared with any third party. When you leave a tool, the audio buffer is discarded.
Audio output
Some Pro tools (Speaker Drainage, Speaker Cleaner, Earbud Cleaner, Hearing Test) emit tones through the device speaker or connected headphones. No audio is recorded.
2. In-app purchases
Phone Doctor offers a one-time, non-consumable in-app purchase (“Phone Doctor Pro”) that unlocks additional tools. Purchases are processed by:
- Apple — via the App Store and StoreKit. Apple’s privacy policy applies to the transaction. See apple.com/legal/privacy.
- RevenueCat — we use RevenueCat to verify and restore purchases across your devices. RevenueCat receives an anonymous identifier generated by their SDK along with the purchase receipt issued by Apple. RevenueCat does not receive your Apple ID, name, email, or payment details. See RevenueCat’s privacy policy.
Your Pro entitlement is also cached locally on your device so the app works offline once unlocked.
3. Information we do NOT collect
To be explicit, Phone Doctor does not:
- Require an account or login.
- Collect your name, email, phone number, or address.
- Collect or use your location.
- Access your contacts, photos, calendar, or files.
- Use third-party analytics, tracking, attribution, or advertising SDKs.
- Display ads.
- Use cookies or similar tracking technologies.
4. Permissions
| Permission | Why we need it | When it’s requested |
|---|---|---|
| Microphone | To run microphone-based tests (Mic Test, Decibel Meter, Spectrum Analyzer, Hearing Test). | When you open one of those tools for the first time. |
You can revoke microphone access at any time in Settings › Privacy & Security › Microphone › Phone Doctor. Tools that need the microphone will explain why before each use.
5. Data retention
Because the App does not collect personal data on our servers, there is nothing for us to retain. Microphone audio used by tests exists only in device memory and is discarded when you leave the tool. Your Pro entitlement record is retained by Apple and RevenueCat for as long as the purchase exists, so you can restore it on new devices.
6. Children’s privacy
Phone Doctor is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through a third-party service used by the App, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
7. Your rights (GDPR & CCPA)
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom (GDPR/UK GDPR) or in California (CCPA/CPRA), you have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct, or delete it. Because Phone Doctor itself does not collect personal data, most of these rights apply only to the limited information processed by Apple and RevenueCat for purchase verification.
- For data held by Apple, please contact Apple directly.
- For data held by RevenueCat, email us at the address below and we will request deletion of your anonymous purchase record on your behalf.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date. Continued use of the App after changes means you accept the updated policy.
