Effective date and last updated: September 24, 2026
This privacy policy applies to the mobile application NeuroHz (package identifier com.umbrabyte.neurohz, available for Android and iOS), developed and published by Umbrabyte Apps. It complements the general Umbrabyte Privacy Policy and serves as the official privacy declaration linked within the application and its store listings.
Plain language summary: NeuroHz is an on-device adaptive binaural and isochronic audio synthesis laboratory for focus, relaxation, meditation, and sleep rituals. All sound waves, custom carrier and beat frequencies, nature ambience mixes, and 5, 7, and 14-day guided journeys are synthesized and tracked 100% locally on your device at 44.1 kHz PCM16. Umbrabyte operates zero remote user databases, requires no user account or sign-in, includes zero third-party advertising networks or behavioral trackers, and never sells or shares personal data. Data only leaves your device when Google Play Billing or Apple App Store In-App Purchase processes an optional PRO unlock or when you contact customer support directly.
1. Scope and key facts
NeuroHz delivers precision acoustic rituals that automatically adapt between stereo headphones (binaural beats) and device speakers (isochronic pulses):
- 100% On-Device DSP Audio Synthesis (44.1 kHz PCM16): All carrier tones, binaural frequency offsets, isochronic modulation envelopes, pink/brown noise beds, and organic nature soundscapes are synthesized and mixed locally in real time on your device processor. No listening habits or audio streams are recorded or uploaded.
- No Account or Registration Required: Every session, custom frequency preset, timer, and multi-day ritual works immediately without creating an account, profile, or providing an email address.
- Zero Ads & Zero Behavioral Tracking: NeuroHz contains zero advertising SDKs and zero cross-app analytics or attribution trackers.
- No Sale or Commercialization of Data: Umbrabyte never sells, rents, or trades user personal information.
- Wellness & Acoustic Safety Disclaimer: NeuroHz is a mindfulness, focus, and relaxation audio utility—not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical or neurological condition. Users with a history of epilepsy, seizures, or auditory sensitivity should consult a physician before using brainwave entrainment tones and should avoid listening while driving or operating machinery.
