Vocal Light Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 17, 2026 Last updated: July 19, 2026 Version: consumer-health-privacy-2026-07-19-v6

This Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy is a separate notice limited to information that may be treated as “consumer health data” under applicable law, including Washington’s My Health My Data Act (chapter 19.373 RCW), Nevada’s consumer-health-data law (NRS 603A.400 through 603A.550), Connecticut’s consumer-health-data provisions, and similar applicable laws. It supplements the Vocal Light Privacy Policy. A law may apply differently depending on residence, where processing occurs, statutory definitions, exemptions, and other facts.

“Vocal Light,” “we,” “us,” and “our” mean Mark Marez, an individual sole proprietor doing business as Vocal Light. “App” means the Vocal Light mobile application.

1. Consumer health data the App processes

When you request a microphone-based practice feature, the App may process:

Live voice audio held temporarily in memory;
Estimated frequency, pitch, note name, octave, cents, timing, confidence, and stability;
Estimated vocal-range and note-shape information;
A comfortable low note, high note, or vocal-range category you select or save; and
On-device inferences needed to produce the singing-practice display you request.

Depending on applicable law, some of this information may identify or relate to a bodily function and may therefore be treated as consumer health data. Vocal Light does not use it to create a voiceprint, identify you, diagnose a condition, or intentionally infer disease, disability, treatment, medication use, reproductive health, or another medical condition.

2. Sources

The App obtains this information from:

Your device microphone after you start a feature and grant microphone permission;
Notes, ranges, categories, and other settings you select; and
On-device calculations derived from those inputs.

Vocal Light does not buy consumer health data from data brokers or obtain it from advertisers, social networks, health-care providers, employers, schools, insurers, or public records.

3. Why the App processes it

The App processes consumer health data only to:

Provide the live pitch, cents, note, range, and practice display you request;
Maintain the current practice session on your device;
Restore a comfortable-range setting you choose to save and use it to fit generated reference-note and chord registers; and
Operate related safety, reset, and privacy controls.

The App does not process consumer health data for advertising, cross-app tracking, identity resolution, eligibility decisions, employment decisions, insurance decisions, sale, unrelated profiling, or training a shared machine-learning model.

4. On-device processing and storage

Live microphone samples are processed in a bounded in-memory buffer. The App does not save them as a persistent recording. Working microphone samples are cleared when listening stops.

Current-session pitch frames and note shapes are held in memory and are cleared through Full Reset and when the App backgrounds or terminates. A comfortable-range category and selected low and high notes may be stored in the App’s local container until you clear saved practice data or delete the App. Moving the category slider immediately replaces those local range preferences; approving a manual or analyzer result replaces them again.

The current App does not transmit consumer health data to Vocal Light or to an App-operated server. Because Vocal Light does not receive this device-local information, Vocal Light ordinarily cannot view, retrieve, export, correct, or remotely delete it for you.

5. Sharing, sale, third parties, and affiliates

The current App does not sell or share consumer health data. No third party or affiliate receives consumer health data from the App. There are therefore no categories of consumer health data sold or shared and no third-party or affiliate recipients to list.

The App uses Tonic for local music-theory calculations. That component operates inside the App and does not receive consumer health data as an external service.

Apple may independently process information through iOS, the App Store, your Apple Account, device backups, or diagnostics under Apple’s own terms and privacy policies. That independent Apple processing is not a disclosure by Vocal Light from an App-operated server.

Vocal Light does not use location data or a geofence to identify or track a person seeking health-care services.

6. Your choice and consent

During initial Legal & Privacy review, the App presents a specific microphone-processing disclosure and its own optional, unchecked consent row. The disclosure identifies the categories processed, the specific purposes, the absence of recipients or sharing, and how to withdraw. This consent is separate and distinct from the combined Terms-and-Liability-Waiver assent control even though all controls appear in the same initial flow. If you continue without checking the optional row, you can review the same disclosure and allow processing later in Legal & Privacy.

The App stores a device-local consent history that records grants and withdrawals together with the consent-screen version, this Policy's identifier and cryptographic hash, the exact disclosure hash, the disclosed categories and purposes, the recipient and no-sale/no-sharing statement, the withdrawal method, event time, and App version/build. The current App does not transmit that history to Vocal Light. A prior grant is not treated as current if the consent screen, this Policy, or the exact disclosure has changed.

Microphone processing does not begin merely because the App is installed, because you provide that consent, or because you grant iOS microphone permission. If you opt in during onboarding, iOS may request permission immediately after onboarding. Processing begins only after you subsequently start a microphone-based feature. Vocal Light does not present another custom consent screen at that point.

You may withdraw consent for future microphone processing at any time through Legal & Privacy → Withdraw Microphone Processing Consent. Withdrawal immediately stops microphone processing and clears the current in-memory pitch timeline. You may allow processing again only from Legal & Privacy after reviewing the disclosure and checking its consent row. You may also stop the feature or revoke microphone permission in iOS Settings. Withdrawal does not affect processing that lawfully occurred before withdrawal or the continuing effect of the Terms and Waiver.

Vocal Light will not sell consumer health data or share it for a purpose beyond providing the feature you request without first obtaining any separate authorization required by applicable law.

7. Your rights and controls

Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to:

Confirm whether Vocal Light collects, processes, shares, or sells consumer health data;
Access consumer health data;
Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent;
Delete consumer health data; and
Appeal a refusal to act on a request.

You can directly control device-local information by:

Stopping live listening or range measurement;
Using Withdraw Microphone Processing Consent in Legal & Privacy;
Revoking microphone permission in iOS Settings;
Using Full Reset to clear the current in-memory session;
Using Clear Saved Practice Data in Legal & Privacy to clear supported range, pitch-color, and bookmark preferences; and
Deleting the App to remove its remaining local container.

Vocal Light will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right.

8. Requests and appeals

For a consumer health data request, use the contact method on Vocal Light’s Support page linked from its App Store listing and label the request Consumer Health Data Request. To appeal a refusal, use the same method and label it Privacy Appeal.

We may take reasonable steps to authenticate a request. We will respond without undue delay and within the shortest applicable statutory deadline, including 45 days where Washington, Nevada, or Connecticut law requires that period, subject to any lawful extension. We will address an appeal within the legally required period and, if an appeal is denied, provide information about any available method to contact the appropriate regulator.

If a request concerns information that exists only in your App container, we will explain that Vocal Light has no server copy and cannot remotely retrieve or delete it. The controls in Section 7 remain available to you directly.

9. Security

Vocal Light uses data minimization, on-device processing, bounded memory, and iOS App-container isolation to reduce privacy risk. No software or storage method is perfectly secure. Device compromise, operating-system behavior, backups, or access to an unlocked device may affect locally stored information.

10. Changes and contact

We may update this Policy prospectively if the App, applicable law, or our practices change. The last-updated date and version will change. If a change requires additional notice, consent, or authorization, Vocal Light will provide it before the new processing begins where required.

For a question, request, appeal, or legal notice concerning consumer health data, use the contact method on Vocal Light’s Support page linked from its App Store listing.
