Privacy Policy — Бұрау (Burau)

Last updated: September 15, 2026

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how AlashAlemi ("we", "our", "us") handles information when you use the mobile application Бұрау / Burau ("the App"), a tuner for the Kazakh dombyra.

We keep data collection to the minimum needed to run and support the App. This policy describes exactly what is collected and by whom.

Microphone and audio

The App requires access to your device's microphone in order to detect the pitch of your instrument.

Audio is never recorded, stored, or transmitted. Sound captured by the microphone is analysed in real time on your device only, and each audio buffer is discarded immediately after the frequency is calculated. No audio data leaves your device, and we have no ability to listen to or retrieve it.

You can revoke microphone access at any time in your device settings. Without it, the App cannot tune your instrument.
