Privacy Policy
Last updated October 17, 2026
This privacy policy applies to the Android app Speech Rate Meter 2, package by.intoncore.SpeechRateMeter2, and to the same app on desktop. The developer is Vladimir Zhitko. This is the policy linked from the Google Play store listing and from inside the app. The public copy is https://intontrainer.by/speechratemeter2policy.html.
Speech Rate Meter 2 uses the microphone only to estimate speaking tempo on this device. It does not recognize words, identify the speaker, or send audio anywhere.
Data the app accesses
The only sensitive data the app accesses is audio from the microphone.
- Microphone (
RECORD_AUDIO). The app asks for microphone access when you start a measurement session. Audio is used on this device to estimate speaking tempo (pace, articulation, fillers, pauses, and length). You can refuse the permission, and you can revoke it later in the system settings. Without it, the app cannot measure a live session.
The Android package requests only RECORD_AUDIO. The app does not request camera, location, contacts, phone, advertising-ID, network, or storage permissions.
Data stored on the device
Nothing in this section is sent to the developer or to a server. It stays on the device.
- Session measurements. Each kept phrase is stored as numbers (pace, articulation, fillers, pauses, and length) in a private
data/sessionsfile. That file has no audio. - Scratch audio. A phrase may be written briefly as a WAV file in
data/recordswhile those numbers are saved. That file is deleted as soon as the save succeeds. After a session, and whenever the app is idle, that folder is empty unless a save failed and the file is still needed. - Settings. Language, theme, and measurement options are stored locally in
settings.ini, beside the executable on desktop or in the app-private data directory on Android.
Data that is not collected or shared
The app does not transmit audio, session measurements, settings, or device identifiers off the device. For Google Play’s Data safety section, that means the app does not collect user data and does not share user data.
- No account, name, email address, or other contact data is requested or stored by the developer.
- No audio, measurements, or settings are sold, rented, or shared with any third party.
- The app does not use the microphone or stored measurements for advertising, profiling, or speech recognition.
- The app does not request network access, so it has no channel to send this data to the developer, to Google, or to anyone else.
How data is protected
On Android, session files, scratch audio, and settings are kept in the app’s private storage, which other apps cannot read. On desktop they are kept beside the executable. Audio is processed on the device. A scratch WAV file is deleted as soon as the measurement is saved. Because user data is not transmitted, there is no network transfer to secure.
How long data is kept, and how to delete it
There is no user account. Session files stay on the device until you delete them or uninstall the app.
- In the app. Tap Delete user data in Settings. That removes session files and any scratch WAV still in
data/records. - Uninstall. Uninstalling the app removes session files, scratch audio, and local settings.
- Microphone. Revoking
RECORD_AUDIOin the system settings stops further microphone access. It does not by itself delete files already saved; use Delete user data or uninstall for that.
The developer does not hold a copy of this data, so a deletion request by email cannot erase files that remain on your device. Use the steps above for that.
Children
Speech Rate Meter 2 is not directed at children under 13. It does not knowingly collect personal information from children. It has no registration and does not transmit data off the device.
Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will replace this page at the same address and the date above will change. The new version applies to use of the app after it is posted.
