CodeJoy ("we" or "our company") created the ClapBack app for iOS as a free service funded by ads and optional subscriptions. Your privacy matters to us — this policy outlines how we process your information and what rights you have while using our app on Apple devices.
By accessing our app, you’re accepting the practices described in this policy. If you disagree, kindly discontinue use of the app.
ClapBack does not collect any personal information. Users are not required to create an account or log in to access the app's core features.
To enable core functionality (e.g., detecting claps and whistles to help locate your phone), the app requires access to your microphone. Details are as follows:
ClapBack requires access to your camera only to use the device's flashlight for visual notifications. Details are as follows:
With your permission, the app may send push notifications for alerts or status changes. You can enable or disable notifications at any time in iOS Settings.
Some anti-touch or pocket-theft features may use device sensors (e.g., motion or proximity) to detect handling. You can disable these features in the app or deny related permissions where applicable.
If you choose to subscribe to premium features (such as removing ads or unlocking additional functionality), the purchase will be completed through the Apple App Store / iTunes. The payment process is fully managed by Apple. We do not collect or store your payment information or personal data during this process.
The app includes third-party advertising services that may collect anonymous information to enhance the ad experience. This information is used for purposes such as:
Third-party advertising providers used may include (examples):
If our app or advertising partners request permission to “track” your activity across other companies’ apps and websites (e.g., to access the iOS Advertising Identifier “IDFA”), iOS will present a system prompt. We will only proceed with such tracking if you explicitly allow it. You can change this choice anytime in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking. If you do not allow tracking, we will use non‑personalized or contextual ads and disable cross‑app tracking features.
We (or our partners) may also use SKAdNetwork to measure ad performance without directly identifying you.
When the app encounters an error during use, we may collect anonymous log data through third-party tools (e.g., Apple diagnostics and/or Firebase Crashlytics). This log data may include:
These logs are used solely to improve the app and troubleshoot issues.
The app may use third-party code and libraries that utilize "cookies" or similar technologies to collect anonymous data and improve user experience. You can choose to accept or refuse cookies. If you refuse, certain features of the app may not function as intended.
ClapBack is not intended for children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will delete it immediately. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.
We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of the app. While we do not collect personal information, we employ reasonable technical and administrative measures to safeguard the app's operation.
Our processors and advertising partners may store or process data on servers located outside your country. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) provided by those processors.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page and take effect immediately. We recommend reviewing this policy periodically to stay informed of any updates.
