Comprehensive data protection disclosures governing OvKo Labs applications, utilities, and web services.

Last Updated: October 2026•OvKo Labs

1. Overview & Scope

OvKo Labs ("we," "our," or "us") is a mobile software development lab dedicated to user privacy. This Privacy Policy governs our web presence (https://ovkolabs.com) and all mobile applications published by OvKo Labs on the Google Play Store (including Only Flags and Sound Meter). By accessing our website or downloading and using any OvKo Labs mobile application, you acknowledge and agree to the practices outlined in this policy.

2. Local-First Processing & Data Minimization

Our primary design principle is local-first computing. We prioritize on-device processing so that your personal data, gameplay progress, and sensor inputs remain on your physical hardware whenever technically feasible. We do NOT sell, rent, lease, or monetize your personal information to any third parties.

3. Information We Collect & Process

Depending on which OvKo Labs service or application you use: A. On Our Website: When visiting ovkolabs.com, standard web server logs (e.g., anonymized IP address, browser user-agent, requested page, and timestamp) are processed temporarily for security and server delivery purposes. B. Within Mobile Applications: • Local App Data: High scores, quiz streaks, user settings, and calibration offsets are stored locally on your device using Android SharedPreferences. • Diagnostic & Crash Telemetry: We may collect anonymized crash logs and device metrics (device model, OS version) through Firebase Crashlytics to diagnose software bugs. • Advertising Data: Free apps supported by Google AdMob may process non-precise regional location and advertising identifiers (AAID) to display ads. • Hardware Permissions: Sensor inputs (such as microphone audio in Sound Meter) are processed instantaneously in volatile RAM and are NEVER recorded, stored, or transmitted.

4. Third-Party Service Providers

Our applications may utilize standard Google platform services for distribution, crash reporting, and monetization: • Google Play Services: Core platform distribution and leaderboard capabilities • Google AdMob: Privacy-compliant in-app advertising (opt-out available via Android device ad settings) • Firebase Crashlytics & Analytics: Anonymous crash diagnosis and app stability telemetry For comprehensive details on how Google handles telemetry data, please review Google's Privacy Policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy

5. App-Specific Privacy Disclosures

Each mobile application published by OvKo Labs maintains a dedicated privacy policy detailing its specific sensor usage, permissions, and features: • Only Flags Privacy Policy: https://ovkolabs.com/apps/only-flags/privacy • Sound Meter Privacy Policy: https://ovkolabs.com/apps/sound-meter/privacy Please refer to each respective page for in-depth, app-specific disclosures.

6. Children's Privacy

Our products and services are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately so we can promptly take appropriate measures.

7. User Rights & Data Deletion

Because we do not maintain centralized user accounts or cloud databases of personal information: • You can delete all local application data, scores, and preferences at any time by clearing app data in your Android Settings or uninstalling the app. • You can reset or opt out of personalized advertising IDs via your device's Google Play Services settings. • For any privacy questions, rights requests (under GDPR/CCPA), or inquiries, you may contact us directly via email.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect technological updates, regulatory changes, or new product releases. Any modifications will be posted to this page along with an updated "Last Updated" timestamp.
