			"The app listens through your microphone to detect pitch. That audio is processed on your device and discarded immediately.",
			"No audio, and no data derived from audio, is ever recorded, stored or transmitted.",

				"body": [
					"TuneSpork asks for microphone access because a tuner cannot work without hearing the instrument. When the tuner screen is open, incoming audio is analysed frame by frame to estimate the fundamental frequency, and each frame is discarded as soon as the next one arrives.",
					"The audio is never written to storage, never buffered beyond the few milliseconds the analysis needs, and never leaves the device. There is no recording feature and no way to export audio, because no audio is retained to export.",
