Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 12, 2026
Welcome to Fart Sound Mixer! This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you use our iOS app (the "App") and our website, funnyfartsounds.com (together, the "Services"), why it is collected, and the choices you have. The Services are operated by Silly.io Inc ("we," "us," or "our").
Summary of Key Points
- No accounts, no sign-up. We don't ask for your name, email, or any other personal details to use the App.
- The sounds you make stay on your device. Taps, loops, and effect settings are never uploaded.
- Ads are provided by Google AdMob. AdMob and its ad partners may collect device and usage information to show and measure ads.
- You're in control. If you're in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we ask for your consent before personalized ads are shown, and you can change your choice anytime in the App under Menu → Privacy Settings.
- Remove Ads = no ad data. If you purchase "Remove Ads," no ads are loaded and AdMob is not contacted.
- We don't sell your information for money. Some US state laws treat sharing data for targeted advertising as a "sale" or "share"; see Section 9.

1. What Information Is Collected?
Information that stays on your device
The App stores your loop recordings, effect settings, and whether you have purchased "Remove Ads" locally on your device. We do not receive or store this information.
Information collected by our advertising partner
If you use the free, ad-supported version of the App, Google AdMob may automatically collect:
- Device information such as device model, operating system version, language, and app version.
- Identifiers such as Apple's Identifier for Vendors (IDFV) and, if you have allowed it, the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA). The App does not currently request permission to track, so the IDFA is not available to AdMob through our App.
- Approximate location derived from your IP address (for example, country or city). The App does not access your device's GPS or precise location.
- Ad interaction data such as which ads were shown, whether they were tapped, and diagnostic and performance information.
Information you provide to us
If you contact us through our website or by email, we receive the information you choose to include, such as your name, email address, and the content of your message.
We do not collect sensitive personal information (such as health data, biometric data, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, or sexual orientation).
2. Advertising (Google AdMob)
The App displays banner and full-screen ads through Google AdMob, a service of Google LLC. AdMob and its certified ad partners use the information described above to serve ads, limit how often you see the same ad, measure ad performance, and prevent fraud. Where you have consented (or where permitted by law), ads may be personalized based on your interests.
Consent in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland: When you first open the App, we show a consent message powered by Google's User Messaging Platform. No ads are requested until you make a choice. You can accept, decline, or manage your choices for individual purposes and ad partners. To change your choice later, open the App and go to Menu → Privacy Settings.
If you decline consent, you may still see non-personalized or limited ads, which use only the minimum information necessary to serve an ad and prevent fraud.
Learn more about how Google uses information from apps that use its services: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Remove Ads: If you purchase "Remove Ads," the App stops loading ads, and AdMob does not receive information from the App.
3. In-App Purchases
The "Remove Ads" purchase is processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive your name, payment card details, or Apple ID. The App only receives confirmation from Apple that the purchase is valid so that ads can be turned off. Apple's handling of your purchase information is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy.
4. How We Use Information
- To provide and operate the App, including turning off ads after a purchase.
- To show ads that keep the App free, and to measure their performance (through Google AdMob).
- To respond to your questions and support requests.
- To keep the Services secure and prevent fraud and abuse.
- To comply with legal obligations.
5. Legal Bases (EEA, UK, and Switzerland)
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we rely on the following legal bases under the GDPR and UK GDPR:
- Consent for personalized advertising and for storing or accessing information on your device for advertising purposes. You can withdraw consent at any time in Menu → Privacy Settings.
- Legitimate interests for showing non-personalized ads, preventing fraud, and keeping the Services secure, where these interests are not overridden by your rights.
- Contract to provide the "Remove Ads" feature you purchased.
- Legal obligation where we must comply with the law.
6. Who We Share Information With
- Google AdMob and its ad partners, for advertising as described in Section 2. The list of ad partners is shown in the consent message and in Privacy Settings.
- Apple, which processes App Store purchases.
- Legal and safety: we may disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of us, our users, or others.
- Business transfers: if we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
We do not sell personal information for money.
7. How Long Information Is Kept
Information stored on your device remains there until you delete the App. Information collected by Google AdMob is retained according to Google's own policies. Messages you send us are kept only as long as needed to respond and for our records, and are then deleted.
8. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information held about you and get a copy of it.
- Correct inaccurate information.
- Delete your information.
- Restrict or object to certain processing.
- Data portability.
- Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting processing that took place before withdrawal.
Because we don't operate user accounts or store App usage data ourselves, most advertising data is held by Google. You can manage ad consent in the App under Menu → Privacy Settings, and you can learn about Google's data controls at My Ad Center. For any other request, contact us using the details in Section 14.
If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
9. US State Privacy Rights
If you live in a US state with a consumer privacy law (such as California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, or others), you may have the right to know what personal information is collected, to access and delete it, to correct it, and to opt out of targeted advertising and the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information as those terms are defined by law.
Categories collected in the past 12 months (through Google AdMob, in the ad-supported version):
- Identifiers (device identifiers, IP address)
- Internet or other electronic network activity (ad interactions)
- Approximate geolocation (derived from IP address)
These categories may be disclosed to Google and its ad partners for advertising, which some state laws consider a "sale" or "share." To opt out, you can:
- Use Menu → Privacy Settings in the App, if it is shown for your location;
- Purchase "Remove Ads," which stops all ad-related data collection; or
- Contact us using the details in Section 14.
We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights. You may use an authorized agent to submit a request; we may ask for proof of the agent's authority and verify your identity. If we decline your request, you may appeal by contacting us, and if your appeal is denied, you may contact your state attorney general.
We do not currently respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals, as there is no uniform standard for them.
10. Children's Privacy
The Services are not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
11. International Data Transfers
Google and its ad partners may process information in the United States and other countries whose data protection laws may differ from those in your country. Where required, these transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.
12. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top shows when it was last revised. If we make significant changes, we will let you know through the App or on this page.
