Bluetooth Ear needs to access your MICROPHONE to CAPTURE AUDIO around you for routing it to wired headphones or remote Bluetooth headphones. It also requires WRITE EXTERNAL STORAGE (Max SDK version 29) permission to record audio around you and write it to your device's storage as a .wav audio file. Additionally, it needs READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (Max SDK version 32) permission to play the recorded files. We strongly respect users' privacy. We never share or collect users' personal information or data with third parties or our own servers. Recorded audio with Bluetooth Ear will be stored only on the user's device storage.
