Privacy Policy – JIGOKUMIMI (WEBA / WAV / MP3)

Last updated: 2025-01-01

1. Introduction

This privacy policy applies to the recorder web application / Progressive Web App (“JIGOKUMIMI”, “the App”, “we”, “us” or “our”). The App allows you to record audio using your device’s microphone and save audio files (for example WEBA, WAV, or MP3) locally.

We respect your privacy and are committed to explaining clearly what data is (and is not) collected when you use the App.

2. Data We Collect

The App is designed to run entirely in your browser. As of the date of this policy:

• We do not require you to create an account or sign in.
• We do not automatically collect or store personal information on our own servers.
• We do not send your recordings (audio data) to our own servers by default.

Any audio data you record and any files you save are processed locally in your browser and remain under your control on your device, unless you choose to share or upload them using other services or applications.

3. Microphone Access

To function, the App requests permission to access your device’s microphone. This permission is used solely to capture audio so that you can create recordings.

Microphone input is handled by your browser’s built-in APIs. The raw audio data is used only within the App to generate audio files for you. We do not listen to, monitor, or analyze your microphone input on our own servers.

3.1 No Responsibility for Microphone Input

You are solely responsible for anything you say or play into the microphone while using the App. We are not responsible for:

• the content of any spoken words, sounds, or music captured by the microphone,
• any confidential, personal, or sensitive information you choose to record,
• any legal, contractual, or other consequences resulting from your recordings.

Please carefully consider your environment and any applicable laws or regulations before recording other people or sensitive information.

4. Audio Files and Local Storage

The App may allow you to save recordings as audio files (for example WEBA/WebM, WAV, or MP3) to your device or to share them via the operating system’s share functions.

These audio files are created locally in your browser. Once a file has been generated and saved:

• It is stored in locations that you control (e.g., local file system, cloud storage or apps you select).
• We do not have access to these files.

4.1 No Responsibility for Created Audio Data

All audio data and files created by the App are under your full control and responsibility. We do not review, manage, or back up your audio files, and we are not responsible for:

• any loss, corruption, or deletion of recordings,
• any misuse, unauthorized access, or disclosure of your recordings by you or third parties,
• any damages or disputes arising from the content of your recordings.

You are solely responsible for backing up your recordings and for handling them in compliance with applicable laws and any agreements or policies that apply to you.

5. Third-Party Services and Libraries

The App may use third-party client-side libraries (for example audio encoding libraries) that run in your browser. These libraries are used only to process audio locally (e.g., converting raw audio to MP3 format).

As of the date of this policy, the App does not intentionally send your recordings to third-party servers for processing. However, if you choose to share, upload, or synchronize your recordings using other applications or services (such as cloud drives, messaging apps, or email), their own privacy policies and terms will apply.

6. Analytics and Tracking

As of the date of this policy, the App does not include built-in analytics or tracking that identifies you personally. Your browser or the platform on which you install the App (such as an app store or operating system) may collect its own usage data; such data is governed by their respective privacy policies.

7. Children’s Privacy

The App is not specifically directed at children. If you allow a child to use the App, you are responsible for supervising their use and for any recordings they create.

8. Security

Because the App processes your audio locally in your browser, the security of your recordings depends largely on the security of your device, browser, and any services to which you choose to upload or share your files.

We strongly recommend that you use up-to-date software, secure your device with a passcode or equivalent protection, and be careful when sharing files with others.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the App after any update constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.

10. Contact

If you have any questions about this privacy policy or about how the App handles data, please contact us using the contact information provided in the store listing or via the support channel associated with the App.
