Privacy Policy · Internal Audio Recorder Pro

CloudEx Inc. ("we", "us", or "our") operates the "Internal Audio Recorder Pro" app (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you. By using the Service, you are deemed to have agreed to the practices described in this Policy.

1. Our Core Principle

Internal Audio Recorder Pro records the sound of the apps playing on your phone (videos, live streams, radio, online classes, games, and so on) without using the microphone. Recording, playback, and editing (trimming, joining, and cutting silence) all run entirely on your device. Your recordings are yours: they are stored on your device, and we never listen to, collect, upload, or transmit them to our servers. There is no account and no sign-up. Specifically, we do not have access to any of the following:

The audio you record and what it contains
The file names and waveforms of your recordings, or the marks you add to them
The list of apps installed on your device, or the apps you choose to record
The times, repeat settings, and other details of your scheduled recordings

Your recordings leave your device only when you share them yourself (Section 2).

2. How Recording Works and Your Recordings

No microphone: Internal Audio Recorder Pro records only the sound of the apps playing on your device. It does so with Android's playback capture feature (AudioPlaybackCapture), available on Android 10 and later. The app never opens the microphone, so the sound around you and your own voice are never recorded.
The screen-sharing confirmation: To capture the sound that is playing, Android requires you to choose "Start" on the screen-sharing (MediaProjection) confirmation shown when a recording begins. Internal Audio Recorder Pro uses this permission to capture audio only; it never captures, records, or stores what is on your screen. While the permission is held, Android may indicate that your screen is being shared or hide the contents of notifications, but your screen is not being recorded.
Sound that is not recorded: Phone calls, notification sounds, and apps that do not allow their audio to be captured (such as most calling and meeting apps and some copy-protected streams) are not recorded, by Android's design. Sound played by Internal Audio Recorder Pro itself (such as its own player) is also left out of your recordings.
Standby: With "Stay on standby after stopping" (on by default), the app keeps the permission above after a recording stops, so that your next recording or a scheduled recording can start without the confirmation. A notification is always shown during standby, and no audio is captured while on standby. You can release the permission at any time with "End standby" in the notification or the settings, or by stopping screen sharing in Android.
Where your recordings are kept: A recording in progress is written to the app's own storage on your device. By default, each finished recording is then moved to a shared folder on your device (Recordings/InternalAudioRecorder on Android 12 and later, Music/InternalAudioRecorder on Android 10 and 11), where it is kept even if you uninstall the app. You can turn this off with "Save to Recordings folder" in the settings; when it is off, recordings stay in the app's own storage only (you can still save individual recordings to the shared folder from the list). Files in the shared folder can be seen by other apps that you have allowed to access your audio files, and by a computer you connect your device to.
Waveforms and marks: The waveform previews shown in the list and the player, and the marks you add, are stored as small files in the app's own storage and are used only for display.
When anything leaves your device: Only when you share a recording yourself, to the app you choose. We never receive any of it.
What you record: Your recordings may contain copyrighted music, shows, or streams, or other people's voices and conversations. When you share or publish recordings, you are responsible for complying with the rules that apply to you, such as copyright, privacy and audio-recording laws, and the terms of each service.

3. Information We Collect

3.1 Information Collected Automatically

Crash reports: Via Firebase Crashlytics. When the app crashes, we collect diagnostic information — the stack trace, device model, OS version, app version, time of the crash, and device state (such as free memory and free storage) — together with an identifier assigned to each installation of the app. This does not include personally identifiable information such as your name, or the content or file names of your recordings. Internal Audio Recorder Pro does not include Google Analytics or any other usage analytics tool.
Purchase information: The one-time "Premium" purchase is made through Google Play Billing. The purchase is verified on your device using the purchase information issued by Google Play, and is not sent to our servers. We never receive any payment information such as credit card numbers. For refunds and similar requests, we may look up your order in the Google Play Console.
Introducing our other apps: To show the list and cards introducing our other apps, the app downloads their names, descriptions, and images from our content server (static files hosted on Cloudflare Pages). The request contains no personal data from the app and nothing about your recordings. As with any request to a web server, the server receives your device's IP address as part of the connection. Which apps to show is decided on your device, based on your region (the SIM country or your language settings) and whether our apps are already installed; none of this is sent. Tapping an app in the list opens its page on Google Play, and a referral tag showing where it was opened from (this app's package name and the place in the app) is passed to Google Play. It contains no personally identifiable information.

3.2 Information We Receive Only If You Send It

Support emails: When you write to us from the contact or rating screen in the app, your email app opens with the app version, Android version, and device model (and, from the rating screen, your 1–5 answers) filled in. You can review or remove them before sending. Only if you send the email do its contents and your email address reach us, and we use them only to respond to you.

3.3 Information Stored Only on Your Device

Your recordings: Stored on your device as described in Section 2. They never leave it unless you share them.
Waveform previews and marks: Stored for each recording in the app's own storage.
The list of installed apps: For "Record only the apps you choose" (Premium), the app reads the list of apps shown on your home screen (launcher) — their names and icons — on your device so that you can choose which ones to record. It does not use the permission to see all installed apps (QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES). The list is used only to show the selection screen and to tell Android which apps to record, and is never sent off your device. Only the identifiers (package names) of the apps you choose are saved.
App settings: Audio quality, what to record (including the apps you choose), the file name prefix, stop rules, scheduled recordings, the position of the floating button, the theme, and similar settings, as well as your Premium purchase status, are stored on your device.
Android backup: If backup is turned on in your device settings, Android may include the app's settings and your Premium purchase status in the backup it saves to your own Google account, and in what it copies to a new phone when you transfer your data directly. Recordings, waveform previews, and marks are always excluded from backup. This is handled by Android; we have no access to it.
When you uninstall: Uninstalling the app or clearing its data deletes the recordings, waveform previews, marks, and settings stored in the app's own storage. Recordings saved to the shared folder remain until you delete them.

3.4 Information We Explicitly Do Not Collect

The audio you record and what it contains, or any sound played on your device
Sound from the microphone (the app never records with the microphone)
The contents of your screen or of other apps
The list of apps installed on your device, or the apps you choose to record
Your name, email address, phone number, or contacts (the app has no account or sign-up; support emails you send us are the only exception)
Your location or advertising ID
A history of the websites you visit or the contents of your communications

3.5 Permissions the App Requests and Their Purposes

Recording the sound that is playing requires several OS permissions. Internal Audio Recorder Pro uses them only for the stated purposes:

Record audio (RECORD_AUDIO) — Android requires this permission for playback capture (AudioPlaybackCapture) as well, so the app requests it. Android shows it as the "Microphone" permission, but Internal Audio Recorder Pro uses it only to record the sound of the apps playing on your device and never records sound from the microphone.
Screen-sharing confirmation (MediaProjection) — The confirmation Android shows when a recording begins. Used only to capture the sound that is playing; the app never captures, records, or stores what is on your screen (Section 2).
Foreground service (FOREGROUND_SERVICE / FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PROJECTION) — Keeps recording and standby running reliably while the screen is off or you are using other apps. A notification is always shown while recording or on standby.
Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS, Android 13+) — Shows that a recording or standby is in progress, with buttons such as Pause, Stop, Mark, and Record, and lets you know when a recording stopped automatically or when a scheduled recording needs your action to start. Notifications are silent so that they do not end up in your recordings.
Exact alarms (SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM) — Starts scheduled recordings (Premium) on time. If it is not allowed in your device settings (Alarms & reminders), the app schedules a regular alarm instead, which may be a few minutes late.
Display over other apps (SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW) — Requested only when you use the floating record button (Premium), and to bring the recording confirmation to the front when a scheduled recording is due while the app is not on standby. It does not read any screen content.
Run at startup (RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED) — Sets the alarms for your scheduled recordings again after your phone restarts, the app is updated, or the time is changed. It does not start a recording by itself.
Vibration (VIBRATE) — Lets you know by vibration when a recording starts, stops, or pauses (you can turn this off in the settings).
Visibility of apps (limited to apps shown on the home screen) — Used, as described in 3.3, so that you can choose the apps to record, and to check whether our other apps are already installed.
Google Play Billing (com.android.vending.BILLING) — Used to purchase Premium and to verify the purchase.
Internet / network state (INTERNET / ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE) — Used only for sending crash reports, Google Play purchases and purchase verification, in-app reviews and in-app updates, downloading the list of our other apps, and showing this privacy policy in the app. Recording, playback, and editing do not require an internet connection.

The app does not request any storage permission. Recordings are saved to the shared folder through Android's MediaStore.
