Privacy Policy
NOME is a metronome. The metronome itself works offline and has no accounts. The free version shows a small advertisement at the bottom of the screen; a one-time purchase, NOME Pro, removes it and unlocks saved tempos. The one thing NOME sends that you wrote is a message on the feedback form. This policy explains all of it.
The short version
We do not sell personal information, and we do not collect any that we do not need. NOME has no accounts, no sign-in, no analytics, and no crash reporting. It never asks permission to track you, and its advertising is non-personalised. Beyond the feedback form, which sends only when you press Send, the app talks to exactly two outside services: Google, to show an ad in the free version, and RevenueCat, to confirm a NOME Pro purchase. Buy NOME Pro and the first of those stops entirely.
Information we collect
From you directly, only what you type into the feedback form, and only when you send it. NOME never asks for your name, phone number, location, contacts, or photos. The form has an optional email field, which exists so we can reply; leave it blank and your message reaches us with nothing in it to identify you.
Two components inside the app receive data automatically, described under Advertising and Purchases below: Google's advertising software receives what any ad request carries, and RevenueCat receives an anonymous record of a purchase. Neither is tied to your name, and we receive no usage statistics from either. We cannot tell how often you open the app, what tempo you practise at, or whether you use it at all.
What NOME stores on your device
So the app opens the way you left it, NOME saves your settings and your saved work in its own private storage on your device. That is the whole of it: the state of the app as you left it, and the things you have made in it.
It stores nothing about you personally — no identity or contact details, no location, no photos, no audio — and it keeps no history of your use: no log of when you practise, how long you play, or how often you open the app. What it remembers is the state of the app, not a record of you.
None of it is ever sent anywhere. The feedback form does not read it, and there is no sync, no backup to us, and no account holding a copy. It is removed when you delete the app.
Two bundled components keep their own small local state alongside NOME's: your answer to the advertising consent form, where one is shown, and an anonymous purchase identifier that RevenueCat uses to recognise a NOME Pro purchase. Both are described below, and both go when the app does.
Feedback
NOME has a feedback form under Menu › Feedback. It is the only part of the app that sends anything off your device, and it does so only when you fill it in and press Send. If you never open it, NOME never contacts anyone.
Your message goes with the app version and build, your platform and its version, and — on Android — your device model. That is there so that a report about timing can actually be acted on. If you fill in the optional email field, it is sent too and used only to reply to you. Nothing else is attached: no identifier for you or for your installation, no location, no contacts, and nothing about how you use the app.
Messages are stored in a private database and emailed to us, and are kept until the matter is dealt with. To have one deleted sooner, write to support@happeninlabs.com — though if you sent it without an email address, we will have no way of telling which message was yours.
Advertising
The free version of NOME shows one banner advertisement, at the bottom of the main screen, served by Google AdMob. NOME Pro removes it; once you have bought NOME Pro, the app no longer loads Google's advertising software at all and makes no contact with Google.
The advertising is non-personalised. NOME never asks for permission to track you across other apps and websites, never reads the iOS advertising identifier, and requests non-personalised ads on every platform. Ads are chosen for the moment and the general context, not for you.
To show an ad, Google's software receives what any ad request carries: your IP address, coarse information about your device and this app, and — on Android — the device's advertising ID, which Google uses to limit how often you see the same ad and to detect fraud, not to build a profile. Google's use of this data is governed by its own privacy policy and by its policy for partner sites and apps, both linked from its consent form and available at policies.google.com. We receive from Google only aggregate, anonymous reporting: how many ads were shown, and what they earned.
In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, NOME shows Google's consent form before requesting any ad, and honours your choice. You can change it later from Menu › About › Ad privacy settings whenever that option is offered. Declining consent does not affect the metronome. Elsewhere, you can limit advertising through your device's own settings: on iOS, Settings › Privacy & Security › Apple Advertising; on Android, Settings › Privacy › Ads.
We ask Google to serve only content rated suitable for general audiences.
Purchases
NOME Pro is a one-time purchase made through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Payment is taken by the store, under its own terms and privacy policy. NOME never sees your card details, and neither do we.
To confirm that a purchase belongs to this installation — so that it survives reinstalling the app, and can be restored on another device signed into the same store account — NOME uses RevenueCat, a purchase-validation service. RevenueCat holds an anonymous identifier for this installation, the store's receipt, the platform, and the country of the store. It holds no name, no email address, and nothing about how you use the app. Its handling of that data is described in its own privacy policy at revenuecat.com.
A refund is handled by the store that took the payment; we cannot issue one ourselves. If a purchase is refunded or revoked, NOME Pro switches off at the next launch and the free version's advertisement returns.
Microphone
NOME never records audio and never accesses your microphone.
On iOS you may notice that the app declares a microphone usage description. This is required because the audio component NOME uses to produce clicks also contains recording capabilities that NOME does not use. The declaration is a platform formality, not a sign that audio is captured. NOME does not request microphone permission, and if your device ever prompts you for it, you can decline with no loss of functionality.
Network access
NOME makes three kinds of network request, and no others. It sends the feedback form when you press Send. In the free version it requests an advertisement while the main screen is showing. And it checks the status of a NOME Pro purchase at launch, and again when you buy or restore one. It has no analytics endpoint, no remote configuration, and no update channel; nothing else is sent in the background or while you play.
Buy NOME Pro and, apart from a purchase check at launch and the feedback form if you use it, the app behaves identically in airplane mode.
Notifications and background playback
When the metronome is running, NOME shows a playback notification so you can stop it without returning to the app, and keeps the screen awake. On Android this uses a media-playback foreground service. These run only while the metronome is running and involve no data collection.
Children
NOME is a general-audience app and is not directed at children. It has no accounts and asks for no personal information from anyone. Its advertising is non-personalised, is requested at the general-audience content rating, and never involves tracking permission; NOME is not enrolled in any programme for apps designed for children.
Third parties
NOME integrates no analytics or tracking services. Four outside services are involved, each for one purpose: Google AdMob shows the free version's advertisement, and Google's consent tool asks for your permission where the law requires it; RevenueCat confirms NOME Pro purchases; and, when you send a feedback message, Supabase hosts the database it goes to and Resend delivers the notification email. Each receives only what its section above describes.
The app distributes open-source software components and the Barlow Condensed typeface, which is licensed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. These are bundled code and fonts. Attributions are listed in the app under Menu › About.
If you obtained NOME from the Apple App Store or Google Play, those stores may collect information about your download and any purchase under their own privacy policies. We have no access to and no control over that data beyond the aggregate, anonymous sales reporting the stores provide.
Your rights
Privacy laws such as the GDPR and CCPA grant rights to access, correct, export, and delete personal data held about you. The only data of that kind we can hold is what you chose to put in a feedback message. To ask for it, write to support@happeninlabs.com from the address you gave us.
The advertising data described above is held by Google, not by us, against your device's advertising identifier rather than your name; you can reset that identifier or opt out of personalisation in your device's settings, and in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland change your consent from Menu › About › Ad privacy settings. The purchase record is held by RevenueCat against an anonymous installation identifier; deleting the app abandons it. Everything else NOME keeps stays on your device, and deleting the app removes it.
Changes to this policy
If a future version of NOME changes what it collects or stores, this policy will be updated and the effective date above revised before that version is released. Material changes will be noted in the app's release notes.
