Privacy Policy

LaZ Visual EQ uses your microphone to draw real-time sound meters. It does not record you, upload audio, or sell anything about you.

Who operates LaZ Visual EQ

LaZ Visual EQ is operated by Merit Advertising Corp. You can reach us through the contact form.

No accounts or cloud profiles

LaZ Visual EQ does not have logins, accounts, subscriptions, cloud sync, or user profiles. The app does not ask who you are, does not store your identity in the cloud, and does not try to recognize you across devices.

In plain English: we do not know who you are from using the app, and we do not attempt to identify you.

Future LaZ Player features

LaZ Player is planned as a fuller local and cloud music player. That is not part of the v1.13 microphone visualizer privacy model. If a future LaZ Player feature uses accounts, cloud libraries, sync, or stored playback data, the app and this policy will explain that before it launches.

Microphone use

LaZ Visual EQ asks for microphone permission because the app needs live sound input to draw equalizer bars, VU meters, peak indicators, and related visual displays.

  • Audio is analyzed on your device in real time.
  • LaZ Visual EQ does not save microphone audio.
  • LaZ Visual EQ does not upload microphone audio.
  • LaZ Visual EQ does not use microphone audio for advertising or tracking.

The orange dot

iOS shows an orange dot when the microphone is active. In LaZ Visual EQ, that means the app is listening so it can draw meters. The microphone turns off when the app closes or goes to the background.

If the orange dot stays on after you force close LaZ Visual EQ, another app is using the microphone.

Settings stored on your device

LaZ Visual EQ may store local preferences such as your last selected display, Jeep Mode settings, jiggliness, Woo level, and whether the app should keep the screen awake. These settings stay on your device.

Keeping the screen awake

LaZ Visual EQ can keep your display from auto-locking while the visualizer is running. This is useful for a display app, but it will use more battery. You can turn it off in settings.

Website and contact-form privacy

This website does not use advertising cookies, analytics scripts, or cross-site tracking. The web server may keep standard request logs, such as IP address, browser details, requested pages, and timestamps, for security and reliable operation.

If you submit the contact form, the name, email address, message, optional iPhone model, and setup details you provide are sent to Jotform, our form processor, so Merit Advertising can receive and respond to your request. Jotform processes form responses under its privacy policy.

Contact-form information may be retained in Merit Advertising and Jotform records as reasonably needed to resolve the request, maintain support records, prevent abuse, and meet legal obligations. You may use the privacy contact form to ask about or request deletion of your submission.

Changes

This policy may change as LaZ Visual EQ grows. If microphone, recording, syncing, or server behavior changes, the app and this policy will say so plainly.
