Privacy Policy — Ring Maker

Effective date: 4 October 2026

Ring Maker (“the app”, “we”, “us”) is an Android application published by Zero Jump Apps, LLC (“the developer”). This policy explains what happens to information when you use the app.

1. Information we do not collect

We want to be specific about this, because it covers most of what people usually worry about. The developer does not collect, receive, store, or have any access to:

• Your name, email address, phone number, or any contact details, unless you write to us (see below)
• Any account or login credentials (the app has no accounts)
• Your audio files, music library, or the ringtones you create
• Your location
• Your contacts, messages, call logs, photos, or camera (the app can change one contact’s ringtone if you ask it to, as described in section 2, but nothing about your contacts reaches us)
• Analytics or usage statistics (the app contains no analytics SDK of its own; Google’s advertising software is described in section 3)
• Crash reports (the app contains no crash reporting SDK)

The app has no backend server. There is no database anywhere that we control containing information about you.

If you write to us, for example with “Contact & feedback” in the app’s settings, we receive your email address, your message, and the app version, which the app puts in the subject line. We use them only to answer you.

2. Information processed on your device

The app stores the following on your device. None of it is transmitted to us. Your phone’s own backup can include some of it, as described at the end of this section.

Your ringtone library For each ringtone you create, the app records its name, the file path of the source audio, the file path of the trimmed output, the start and end trim points, the fade in and fade out lengths, the duration, the date it was created, and whether you marked it a favourite. This is kept in a local database on your device.

Your app settings Your theme choice (system, light, or dark), your language choice, and whether “Save to public folder” is on. If you used an earlier version of the app, its output format and quality settings are also still stored, though the app no longer reads them. These are kept in local app storage. On Android 13 and later, Android itself keeps your language choice.

Your audio files The app reads audio files from your device so you can browse and trim them. Audio is read and processed in memory on your device.

Each trimmed ringtone is saved as a file named after the ringtone, in your device’s public Ringtones folder. This is the default: “Save to public folder” in the app’s settings is on unless you turn it off. While it is off, new ringtones are saved in the app’s own storage instead. Saving again after editing a ringtone saves a new file and keeps the old one.

When you set a ringtone as your ringtone, notification sound, or alarm sound, or for a contact, the app also saves a copy of it to your device’s shared storage (the Ringtones folder on Android 10 and later) and sets that copy as the sound, or as that contact’s ringtone.

Uninstalling the app removes the library, the settings, and ringtones saved in the app’s own storage. It does not remove ringtones saved in the public Ringtones folder, copies made when you set a sound, or files you exported or shared. Those are ordinary files on your device and remain until you delete them. Your ringtone, notification, or alarm sound, and any contact’s ringtone, also stays set to the copy until you change it.

Your contacts If you use “Set for a contact”, the app asks for permission to read and change your contacts, then opens your device’s contact picker. It changes only the contact you pick, by setting that contact’s ringtone. It does not store or send anything about your contacts. The ringtone stays set on the contact until you change it in your Contacts app, even if you delete the ringtone or uninstall Ring Maker.

Backups made by your phone If backup is on for your phone, Android includes the app’s library, settings, and any ringtones saved in the app’s own storage in its backup to your Google account, and restores them if you reinstall the app. Files in the public Ringtones folder are not included. The backup belongs to your Google account; we have no access to it.

3. Advertising

Ring Maker displays banner advertisements provided by Google AdMob, a service of Google LLC. This is the only third-party service in the app, and the only reason the app uses the internet.

To serve and measure ads, Google may collect and process information such as:

• Your device’s advertising identifier (a resettable ID)
• Your IP address, and coarse location derived from it
• Device information such as model, operating system version, and language
• Information about ads shown to you, including views and interactions
• An app set identifier, which Google uses for analytics and fraud prevention across apps on your device from the same developer
• On Android 13 and later, the ad topics and ad measurement features of Android’s Privacy Sandbox, where they are turned on on your device

This information is collected directly by Google’s advertising software included in the app, which starts each time you open the app. The developer does not receive it, other than aggregate earnings reports that do not identify individual users.

Google’s handling of this data is governed by its own policies:

• Google Privacy Policy
• How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services

You can limit ad personalisation on your device at any time:

Android Settings → Security & privacy → More privacy settings → Ads, or Settings → Google → Ads on some devices (wording varies by manufacturer and Android version)

From there you can reset or delete your advertising ID, and opt out of personalised advertising.

4. Permissions and why they are needed

The app requests the following Android permissions. Each is used only for the stated purpose.

Music and audio access (READ_MEDIA_AUDIO on Android 13 and above, READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE on older versions) To list the audio files on your device so you can choose one to trim.

Storage writing (WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, declared for Android 10 and below only) To save the ringtones you create to shared storage on older versions of Android.

Modify system settings (WRITE_SETTINGS) Required by Android to set a sound as your default ringtone, notification tone, or alarm. It is requested only at the moment you use that feature, and is used for nothing else.

Contacts (READ_CONTACTS, WRITE_CONTACTS) Requested only when you use “Set for a contact”, to set the ringtone of the contact you pick. Used for nothing else.

Modify audio settings (MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS) Declared for audio playback within the app. The app does not currently change any audio setting.

Internet and network state (INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE) Used solely to load advertisements. No other network communication takes place.

Advertising ID and ad services (AD_ID, ACCESS_ADSERVICES_AD_ID, ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION, ACCESS_ADSERVICES_TOPICS) Used by Google’s advertising software, as described in section 3.

Background work (WAKE_LOCK, FOREGROUND_SERVICE) Added by libraries that Google’s advertising software uses to run its own background tasks.

5. Sharing of information

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information. We have none to sell.

Information leaves your device only in these circumstances:

• Advertising. As described in section 3, Google’s advertising software transmits device and ad information to Google.
• When you choose to share. If you use the share option on a ringtone, the file is passed to whichever app you select (messaging, email, cloud storage, and so on). What happens to it after that is governed by that app’s own privacy policy. This only ever happens when you initiate it.
• Your phone’s backup. If backup is on for your phone, Android backs up the app’s data to your Google account, as described in section 2.
• When you write to us. As described in section 1.

6. Data retention and deletion

Because your data stays on your device, you control it entirely.

• Deleting a ringtone in the app removes it from your library. It does not delete the ringtone’s audio file.
• Uninstalling the app, or clearing its storage in Android Settings → Apps → Ring Maker, removes the library, the settings, and ringtones saved in the app’s own storage.
• Ringtone files in the public Ringtones folder, copies made when you set a sound, and files you exported are ordinary files and must be deleted with your file manager if you want them gone. If one is set as your ringtone, notification, or alarm sound, choose a different sound first; if it is set as a contact’s ringtone, change it in your Contacts app.

The steps are set out in full at https://zerojumpapps.com/legal/ring-maker/deletion/.

There is no request to make of us to delete your data, because we do not hold any, apart from any email you sent us, which we will delete if you ask. For advertising data held by Google, use the controls in section 3 or contact Google directly.

7. Children

Ring Maker is a general audience app and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, please contact us (section 11).

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal data, including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of it, and to object to it being used for direct marketing.

Because the developer does not collect or hold personal data, other than any email you send us, there is generally nothing for us to retrieve or erase. Requests concerning advertising data should be directed to Google, which acts as the data controller for that information. See section 3 for links.

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

If you are a California resident, note that we do not sell personal information as that term is defined under the CCPA/CPRA.

The developer is established in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and this policy is governed by the law of Puerto Rico and applicable United States federal law. If you are a resident of Puerto Rico, you may raise a consumer complaint with the Puerto Rico Department of Consumer Affairs (Departamento de Asuntos del Consumidor, DACO). Puerto Rico law also protects personal information held in databases; as described above, the developer maintains no such database, because the app’s data stays on your device.

You may contact us (section 11) with any question about this policy, and we will respond within 30 days.

9. Security

Your ringtone library and settings are stored in the app’s private storage area, which Android protects from other applications. Ringtone files in the public Ringtones folder, and copies made when you set a sound, are in shared storage, where other apps with permission to read your audio files can see them. Because we operate no servers and transmit none of your content, there is no transmission of your audio to secure.

No method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of data held on your own device.

Puerto Rico and other jurisdictions require the holder of a database of personal information to notify affected people if that database is breached. The developer holds no such database, so there is no store of your information that could be breached on our side. A compromise of your own device is outside our control and is a matter for your device security.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time, for example if the app gains a new feature that changes how information is handled. The “last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Significant changes will be reflected in the app listing. Continued use of the app after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
