SoniEffect Privacy Policy
Developed and operated by SoniCore. By downloading or using the app, you agree to the practices described below.
Information We Collect
SoniEffect is designed to work primarily on your device and does not require you to create an account. Depending on how you use the app, the following may be processed — each toggle below reflects what's actually turned on inside the app.
Model, Android version, language, app version, crash & performance diagnostics.
Local audio files, metadata, artwork & color palettes — accessed with your permission.
Theme, equalizer, bass boost, playback and hidden-songs settings, stored locally.
Music Library. With your permission, SoniEffect accesses your device's audio files to display your library, read metadata, create playlists, edit song info, hide or unhide songs, generate artwork and color palettes, and import audio shared from other apps.
Your files stay on your device
Music files remain stored on your device unless you explicitly choose to convert or edit them. Hiding a song keeps it private to you — it's never uploaded anywhere.
User Preferences. The app stores settings locally, including theme selection, audio settings, equalizer configuration, bass booster settings, playback preferences, library customization, hidden songs configuration, and playlist information — used only to personalize your experience.
How We Use Information
Information processed by the app is used to:
- Provide the core functionality of the app
- Detect and organize your music library
- Play audio files
- Edit audio metadata
- Improve app stability and performance
- Diagnose crashes and technical issues
- Deliver requested features such as video-to-audio conversion and metadata lookup
We do not sell your personal information.

Permissions are used solely to provide the features you choose to use.
Third-Party Services
Some features rely on trusted third-party services, each with their own privacy policy. Information shared with them is limited to what's necessary for the requested functionality.
Data Sharing
SoniCore does not sell or rent your personal information. Information may only be shared:
- When required by applicable law
- To protect the rights, safety, or security of users or SoniCore
- With trusted service providers processing information on our behalf, such as crash reporting
Any shared information is limited to what's necessary for the intended purpose.
Data Retention
Most of your music library, playlists, settings, and preferences are stored locally on your device. Diagnostic information collected by third-party services is retained according to their own privacy policies.
You may remove locally stored data at any time by clearing the app's data or uninstalling the app.
International Data Transfers
Some third-party services used by the app may process information on servers located outside your country of residence. Where applicable, those providers are responsible for complying with relevant data protection laws and implementing appropriate safeguards for international data transfers.

If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, please contact us so appropriate action can be taken.
Security
Reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards are used to help protect information processed by the app. While every effort is made to protect your information, no method of electronic storage or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the app after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
