Bluetooth Mic - Karaoke & PAPrivacy policy
We do not sell your data. Audio is never recorded and never uploaded: there is no audio file, no recording history and no server-side audio. In this release your presets do not leave the phone either — the cloud backup that would carry them is switched off.
Who we are
This policy covers the Bluetooth Mic - Karaoke & PA Android app,
package com.btcmic.pamic, as published on Google Play by Cloudy NI (sole
trader), together with the cloudyni.com pages that support it: this policy, the terms of use and the data deletion
page.
It describes the build that is on Google Play now. Where a feature is optional this policy says so, and where the app keeps nothing on our servers it says that too. We do not sell personal data.
What stays on your device
The following is written into the app's own private storage on your phone and is never sent to us:
- Your presets and effect settings.
- The last device you connected and your audio routing choices.
- App preferences such as theme, keep-screen-awake and default input.
- The locally cached entitlement for this install.
Clearing the app's storage or uninstalling the app deletes all of it at once, without contacting us. The data deletion page lists the steps.
What the app can access
The app asks Android for as little as it can. This is the complete list for the published build:
- Microphone
- Bluetooth
- Foreground service
An item above is used only while the feature that needs it is running, and nothing beyond this list is accessed by the app.
Information the app handles
This is the full picture for the published build: everything the app records, processes or transmits, and where it goes.
- Microphone audio. Audio is routed in real time from your microphone to the output you choose so that you can sing, speak or amplify. The app does not record your audio, does not save an audio file and does not upload audio anywhere. All processing happens live on your device.
- Bluetooth devices. Paired device names and identifiers are read so you can choose which microphone or speaker to use. On Android 12 and later this needs the Nearby devices permission; without it Bluetooth audio routing cannot work.
- Saved presets. The names and values of the microphone and effect setups you create — input, output, gain, echo, reverb, pitch and equaliser settings.
- Diagnostics and analytics described in the analytics section below.
- Advertising data processed by Google AdMob on the free tier.
- Correspondence you send to support.
Accounts, backup and the switched-off cloud feature
In the build you can download today this app is local-only: there is no account, no sign-in and no server copy of your data, so nothing about you is held on our servers to read, export or delete. The app's code does contain a dormant, optional encrypted-backup feature, but it is switched off and unreachable in this release — there is no control in the app that can enable it.
If we ever ship that feature we will update this policy first, state exactly what a backup would store and where, and provide in-app controls to delete it. Until then, no data from this app is uploaded to us.
Because that feature is switched off, this release creates no account and uploads nothing, so the data deletion page has nothing on our side to delete. If we turn it on, we will update the privacy policy and publish the deletion route before that build ships.
Advertising
The free tier shows banner and interstitial advertising served by Google AdMob, with consent collected through Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) where the law requires it. Google and its partners may process your advertising ID, IP address and device information to serve and measure ads. Advertising has no access to your audio, your presets or your Bluetooth connections.
Where the law requires it, the app asks for your advertising consent through Google's User Messaging Platform before it requests an advertisement, and you can change or withdraw that choice from the app's privacy options at any time.
Advertising is served and measured by Google and its partners under Google Privacy Policy and AdMob & privacy. You can reset or delete your advertising ID, and turn personalised advertising off, in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads.
Buying a paid product removes advertising for as long as that product is active; the next section explains what we learn from Google Play.
Analytics, diagnostics and crash reports
The app reports anonymous usage, performance and crash information through the Google services we configure:
- Google Analytics for Firebase (anonymous usage analytics)
- Firebase Crashlytics (crash and error diagnostics)
- Firebase Performance Monitoring
- Firebase Remote Config
- Firebase Cloud Messaging (push notifications)
Those reports carry an app-instance identifier rather than your name, and Google handles them for us under Firebase privacy and security. They are diagnostic: we use them to find crashes and to see which features are used, not to identify you.
We use Google Analytics for Firebase to understand which features are used, Crashlytics to receive crash and error reports, Performance Monitoring for startup and responsiveness, Remote Config to change feature switches without an app update, and Cloud Messaging to send push notifications if you allow them. Analytics events describe app behaviour (for example “preset saved”); they never include your audio, and they do not identify you by name. You can turn notifications off in Android settings at any time.
Purchases and subscriptions
Anything you buy in Bluetooth Mic - Karaoke & PA is sold through Google Play Billing. Google is the merchant of record, so your payment method, billing address and the amount you paid are held by Google and never shared with us.
To unlock a paid feature the app asks Google Play whether the product is active. The product identifiers are on the terms of page, and the price is always the amount shown on the Google Play purchase sheet when you confirm it. See Google Play Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy.
A subscription is cancelled in Google Play, not by deleting anything here, and deleting your data does not cancel it.
How long we keep things
Everything the app stores stays on your device until you clear its storage or uninstall it. Support email is kept only while the query is open and is deleted on request, within 90 days.
Because this release keeps nothing on our servers, there is no record of yours for us to expire or archive.
Google keeps purchase records and advertising data under its own policies, as the store and as an advertising provider rather than on our behalf.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR you can ask us for a copy of your information, ask us to correct or erase it, restrict or object to how we use it, ask for it in a portable format, and withdraw consent where consent is what we rely on.
Most of what this app holds is on your device, so you are the fastest route to erasure: delete the entries, clear the app's storage, or uninstall the app. Where we hold nothing about you, a request will confirm exactly that in writing.
Email support@cloudyni.com for any of these. We answer within one month and we do not charge for a first request. You can also raise a complaint with the ICO if you are unhappy with how we have handled your information.
How we protect your data
Data kept by the app sits in its private app storage, inside Android's application sandbox, protected by your device lock and by Android's file-based encryption. Anything the app sends or receives travels over HTTPS.
No system is perfect. If we learn of a breach that puts your information at risk we will tell you and the ICO as UK GDPR requires; where we hold nothing about you, there is nothing for a breach to expose.
Changes to this policy
This page was last updated on 30 September 2026, and it describes the build that was on Google Play on that date. If a change affects what the app collects or where it goes, we update this page and the date above before the change ships. If the change is significant we will say so on the app's Google Play listing.
