Welcome to Metronome, the professional metronome app also known as Pro Metronome or 专业节拍器. We take privacy and personal information security seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you use the app.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Microphone Audio for the Tuner

If you use the built-in tuner, the app requires microphone access to listen to your instrument and analyze pitch. This audio is processed on your device for tuning. We do not upload microphone audio to our servers.

2.2 App Usage Statistics

After you agree to the privacy policy, the app initializes Umeng analytics to help us improve app stability and user experience. The SDK may collect anonymous or pseudonymous technical information such as device model, operating system version, device identifiers such as IDFA where available, network type, launch count, usage duration, and feature usage information.

This information does not include your name, email address, phone number, contacts, or address book information.

  • Privacy agreement status and review prompt state
  • Tuner preferences such as selected instrument reference

This local app data is not uploaded to our servers.
