Depending on your location, we process personal data under these legal bases: contractual necessity (to provide the App and requested services), legitimate interests (to secure and improve the App), consent (for permissions such as camera/microphone), and legal obligations (for compliance, accounting, fraud prevention).
We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information only as described below:
A) Service Providers (Vendors)
- Firebase Authentication (login and identity management)
- Firebase Firestore / Database (storing user account data)
- Stripe (customer creation and payments)

These vendors are authorized to use your information only as necessary to provide services to us.
B) Legal Requirements
- We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or legal process.
- We may also disclose information to protect the rights and safety of LAB Acoustics and our users, investigate fraud or security incidents, or enforce our Terms.
C) Business Transfers
If LAB Acoustics is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, user information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
We keep your data only as long as necessary for account maintenance, service operations, legal and compliance requirements, and security and fraud prevention. You may request deletion of your data (see Section 12). Certain data may be retained if required by law or for legitimate business purposes.
We implement appropriate safeguards to protect your information, including encrypted transmission (HTTPS/TLS), secure authentication mechanisms, restricted access controls, and vendor security best practices (e.g., Firebase/Stripe security). However, no system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
A) Account Information
You may update certain information through the App (depending on what features are enabled).
B) App Permissions
- You can manage permissions via iOS settings, including Camera, Microphone, Photos, and Location (if applicable).
C) Marketing Communications
If we introduce marketing emails later, you’ll be able to opt out via unsubscribe instructions.
The App is not intended for children under 13 (or the minimum age required by your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data, contact us and we will delete it.
LAB Acoustics may process and store data in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. By using the App, you consent to the transfer and processing of your data in those locations.
Some App experiences may include automated recommendations, AI-generated design suggestions, smart product matching, or room treatment proposals based on scan inputs. When these features are enabled, we may process your inputs (including room geometry or configuration metadata) to generate recommendations. We do not use this information to identify you personally unless tied to your user account and required for the feature.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights such as: request access to your personal information, request deletion, request correction, object to certain processing, and request data portability. To submit a request, contact us using the information below.
If you are a California resident: We do not sell personal information. You may request access or deletion of your information.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date and may notify you inside the App. Your continued use of the App after an update means you accept the updated policy.
