Meme Soundboard 2016-2026 Application Privacy Policy (Android)
Last updated: July 10, 2026
The app has no accounts and no registration. We never ask for your name, email or contacts, and sounds or videos you import stay on your device — they are not uploaded anywhere.
What the app itself collects
To rank memes by popularity (the “Most popular / By global plays” sort), the app periodically sends anonymous play counters — which memes were tapped and how many times. That’s the only thing the app itself reports, and:
- counters are sent over an encrypted connection (HTTPS);
- they cover only memes from the app’s own catalogue — taps on sounds you imported yourself never leave your device;
- they are accompanied by a random identifier generated by the app on first launch: it is not linked to you, your Google account or your device hardware, is used only to deliver the counters correctly, is not stored on our servers, and resets if you reinstall the app;
- the app itself does not collect or store IP addresses (advertising services do — see below).
Where your data lives
Everything stays on your device:
- Settings and the app database (preferences, game scores, favorites, sections, renames, meme play stats) are stored locally. For your convenience they are included in the standard Android backup of your device, like in most Android apps — that backup is managed by Google and tied to your own Google account (we have no access to it), and it can restore this data automatically when you reinstall the app or set up a new device.
- Imported media (if you ever use the import feature) stays only on the device where you imported it; due to the nature and size of media files, it is excluded from the Android backup — so unlike settings, it does not travel to a new device. To protect your own recordings from being lost — for example if you uninstall the app (we cannot restore them for you) — the import screen offers a “Backup to Downloads” option, enabled by default, which saves a copy into the Downloads/memesoundboard folder. Like anything in Downloads, that folder may be readable by other apps on your device, so avoid backing up sensitive recordings there — you can untick the option when importing, and you can open or delete the folder at any time (it stays on the device after uninstalling the app).
What third-party services collect
The app shows ads and uses Google services for crash reporting and usage statistics. These services are built into the app and may collect: device identifiers (including the advertising ID), IP address, approximate location derived from the IP address, ad interaction data, and diagnostic/crash data. This data is collected and processed by Google under its own privacy policies:
Your ad choices
The app lets you control how ads treat your data:
- in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland the app asks for your ad-personalization consent on first launch, and you can change your choice anytime in the app: Settings → “Ad privacy & consent”; in other regions where local privacy laws grant ad-privacy rights (for example US state privacy laws), Google shows the corresponding privacy options in the same consent flow where required;
- you can reset or delete your advertising ID in your device settings (Settings → Google → Ads);
- an optional in-app purchase removes ads entirely; payments are processed by Google Play and we never see your payment details.
Data retention & deletion
Local data lives on your device — uninstalling the app deletes it from the device. Note that settings and the app database may be restored automatically from your Google backup if you reinstall the app (see “Where your data lives” above), and the Downloads/memesoundboard folder stays until you delete it yourself. Play counters are stored on our server only as aggregate totals per meme (one combined number of plays for each sound, across all users) and contain nothing that could identify you — so there is no per-user data to keep or delete. For data collected by Google services, please refer to the Google policies linked above.
Children
The app itself collects no personal information from anyone — children included — and, having no accounts or profiles, we have no means of knowing who our users are. Advertising is served by Google AdMob under its own policies and the consent controls described above; the age rating on the store listing applies.
Changes & contact
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published on this page. Questions or privacy requests: use the “Questions?” button on this page, or the “Contact developer” section of the app’s Google Play listing.
