1. Introduction
Noise Zoo™ is operated by Wave Games LLC ("we", "our", or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you access or use Noise Zoo™.
2. Information We Collect
Depending on how you use the game, we may collect the following types of information:
- Account and authentication information needed to let you sign in and access your profile.
- Voice recordings you create in the game using your microphone.
- User-generated content such as zoo creations, recordings, settings, and gameplay-related uploads.
- Device and technical information such as device type, operating system version, language, app version, IP address, device identifiers, and network information.
- Usage information such as gameplay activity, session duration, interactions, retention events, and crash or diagnostics data.
- Advertising-related information used by ad partners to deliver, measure, and protect advertising.
3. Microphone and Voice Recordings
Noise Zoo™ requests microphone access so players can record sounds that become animal voices inside the game. These recordings are used to power core gameplay features.
Players should avoid recording personal, sensitive, or identifying information in voice clips.
4. How We Use Information
We may use collected information to:
- operate, maintain, and improve the game;
- enable sign-in, account access, and saved progress;
- store and display user-generated zoos and recordings;
- provide moderation, reporting, and safety features;
- analyze performance, engagement, and technical issues;
- serve, measure, and optimize advertisements;
- detect abuse, fraud, security issues, and Terms violations;
- comply with legal obligations and enforce our policies.
5. User-Generated Content
Noise Zoo™ allows players to create and publish user-generated content, including zoos and voice-based animal sounds. If you publish a zoo publicly, some of your content may be visible or audible to other players.
Reported content may be reviewed by moderators to investigate possible violations of our Terms of Service or community rules.
6. Third-Party Services
We use third-party providers that may collect information in order to provide analytics, authentication, advertising, diagnostics, and related services.
Firebase (Google)
- Firebase Authentication
- Firebase Analytics
These services may process information such as device data, app activity, identifiers, diagnostics, and authentication-related information.

Noise Zoo™ uses AppLovin MAX mediation to display advertising. Through mediation, multiple advertising networks may be used to serve and measure ads in the game.
Advertising partners may include, but are not limited to:

This information may be used to display ads, limit fraud, measure performance, and improve ad relevance where permitted.
8. Advertising Identifiers and Tracking
On supported devices, Noise Zoo™ may request permission to access the device advertising identifier in order to provide personalized advertising where permitted by law and platform rules.
On iOS devices, users may be presented with Apple's App Tracking Transparency permission prompt. Users can allow or deny tracking through that prompt and through their device privacy settings.
9. Data Retention
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain player progress, support moderation and safety, comply with legal requirements, and enforce our policies.
You may contact us to request deletion of certain data, subject to legal, security, fraud-prevention, and operational requirements.
10. Children's Privacy
Noise Zoo™ is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.
11. Security
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
12. International Use
By using Noise Zoo™, you understand that your information may be processed and stored in countries other than your own, depending on where our service providers operate.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we may notify users through the game, our website, or another appropriate method. Continued use of Noise Zoo™ after the updated policy becomes effective means you accept the revised Privacy Policy.
