AudioKit Privacy Policy

We respect your data.

At AudioKit, we believe that developers have a moral and ethical responsibility to treat users with respect. That's why we've deleted the AudioKit FaceBook pages. You can still find us right here on Twitter. Thank you for your support! #DeleteFacebook #Ethics

— AudioKit Pro (@AudioKitPro) April 4, 2018

We will do everything in our power to help protect your data. We are a humble open-source project with a mission to empower people with free code & music apps.

Plus, we do not use any 3rd party ads, including Google ads. That way, your data stays with you. And you, alone.

Send us a friendly email if you have any concerns. Legal stuff required by GDPR below.

Privacy Policy
This privacy policy defines how we collect and use personal information about you that we collect when you use our websites or acquire an app or product shown on our websites. So that you can use our websites with confidence, AudioKit Pro strictly observes the laws protecting your personal information, and it is our highest priority to ensure that this information is collected, used, and managed appropriately. When using this website and our apps, please make sure that you understand this privacy policy, and provide personal information only if you accept the privacy policy.

We do not share your personal information
AudioKit Pro and the team members and contributors do not share your personal information with any third party without your consent. AudioKit Pro may provide your personal information if we are ordered to do so in accordance with the laws of the applicable country.

Access log files
AudioKit Pro uses access log files to analyze app and website usage trends, site management, user trends, and broad demographic data. From this data, we are able to obtain overall site usage data such as the pages that were visited, the time spent on each page, the immediately preceding location from which the site was accessed, how users transition between pages, and the browser and operating system that are used.

Crash Logs
By default, if one of our apps crashes while you’re using it, anonymized data about the crash will be collected to help us identify the cause of the crash and hopefully fix it in a future update. These “crash logs” contain information such as the state of the app, operating system, and device at the time of the crash, but not your private data. Apple may also collect crash logs if the privacy settings of your device allow it.

Linked sites
This website includes links to various external sites, but we do not have the same privacy policy as those sites.AudioKit Pro has no responsibility for how linked external sites handle your personal information, so please be sure to read the privacy policies of those sites.

When registering your personal information, AudioKit Pro uses encryption technologies such as SSL (https), and we make every effort to prevent unauthorized access or leakage of this data to the outside.

Exceptions
AudioKit Pro will not provide your private information to a third party without your consent. However, if we receive a legally valid demand from a court, a law enforcement agency, a consumer protection agency, or an agency of similar authority, we will provide information accordingly.
