Privacy Policy
Short version: PadForge does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information. Your recordings, loops, and any samples you import stay on your device. There are no accounts, no analytics, no tracking, and no third parties.
Who we are
PadForge ("the app") is an MPC-style drum-pad sampler published by DEESTECH HOLDINGS LLC ("we", "us"). This policy explains how the app handles information.
Information we collect
None. The app has no user accounts and no sign-in. We do not collect names, emails, contacts, location, device identifiers, advertising identifiers, usage analytics, or any other personal data. The app contains no third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking software.
Microphone & recordings
The app asks for microphone permission only so it can record loops and audio takes — a core sampler function. Anything you record is written as files on your device. Recordings are never uploaded to us or to anyone else. We cannot see, access, or hear your recordings.
Your samples & kits
If you import a sample from your device (for example from the Files app), it is read with your permission, used only inside the app on your device, and never transmitted anywhere. Your kits and pad assignments are stored locally.
MIDI controllers
PadForge can connect to a USB or Bluetooth MIDI controller (such as the Akai MPD218) to trigger pads. This connection is local, between your device and the controller; no MIDI or usage data is sent to us.
Purchases
PadForge Pro is a one-time in-app purchase. The transaction is processed entirely by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play). We never receive or store your name, card number, or payment details — the app store handles the purchase and only confirms to the app whether Pro is unlocked.
Data we share
None. Because we do not collect any data, there is nothing to sell, share, or disclose.
Children
The app is a music-production tool rated for general audiences and is not directed at children. Because it collects no personal information, it collects no information from children either.
Security
Your recordings, samples, and settings remain on your device under the protection of the operating system's own security. Nothing is transmitted to us, so there is no server-side data that could be exposed.
Changes to this policy
If we ever change how the app handles information, we will update this page and revise the effective date above.
