Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 10, 2026

This policy describes how personal data is collected and processed in connection with the Mutal Toolkit application (iPhone and iPad) and the mutal.fr website.

1. Data Controller

Vivien Mergot, sole trader operating under the name Mutal
Business registration: 101 598 209 00019
Contact: support@mutal.fr

A postal address can be provided on written request to the email address above, as part of exercising your rights or for any official correspondence.

2. General principle

The Mutal Toolkit application is designed to run locally on your device. No user account is required. No personal data is transmitted to a remote server for commercial, advertising or analytics purposes.

3. Data processed by the application

The following data is processed exclusively on your device and is never transmitted to our servers or to third parties:

  • Sound files and metadata created, imported or managed via the Script, Trig, Slice, Play, RF and Files modules.
  • Audio recordings when you use functions that require the microphone.
  • Photos taken for OCR (text recognition on scripts, frequency sheets, RF lists); images are processed locally and never leave your device.
  • Approximate GPS location (country only), used to pre-select the radio frequency regulation applicable to your area. Location is never stored or transmitted.

4. iOS permissions requested

The application requests certain system permissions in order to provide its features. You may deny or revoke any permission at any time from the iOS Settings; the corresponding features will then be disabled.

  • Microphone — for monitoring, triggering (Trig), audio playback (Play) and slicing (Slice) functions.
  • Camera — for optical character recognition (OCR) on production documents.
  • Location — to determine the radio frequency regulation applicable to your country. Accuracy: country only. Location is not stored.
  • Files and local storage — to read and write your documents via the Files module.
  • Local network — to discover compatible sound equipment on your Wi-Fi network (Bonjour/mDNS). No data leaves your local network.

5. Technical data collected by Apple

When you download or use the application from the App Store, Apple may collect anonymised usage statistics (App Analytics) and crash reports if you have enabled sharing of this data in your iOS Settings. This information is provided to us in aggregated and anonymous form via App Store Connect and does not allow us to identify you individually.

Apple's privacy policy: apple.com/legal/privacy.

6. Data collected through the mutal.fr website

The mutal.fr marketing site sets no advertising cookies or trackers. The following data is processed:

  • Support form: name, email address and message. This data is routed through the provider FormSubmit and received in our mailbox. It is used solely to reply to your request and kept for a maximum of twelve (12) months after the exchange is closed.
  • Public countries API: calls to /api/v1/public/countries require no personal data. Standard server logs (IP address, user-agent, timestamp) are kept for thirty (30) days for security and technical diagnostics.
  • Browser local storage (localStorage): used only to remember your display preference (iPhone or iPad) on the Tutorials page. No identifier, no tracking.

7. Legal basis and purposes

  • Performance of a contract (GDPR art. 6.1.b) — to provide the application features you use.
  • Legitimate interest (GDPR art. 6.1.f) — to ensure the security and proper operation of the website and the public API.

8. Recipients and subprocessors

  • Apple Inc. — application distribution through the App Store, anonymous statistics.

No personal data is sold, rented or transferred for commercial purposes.

9. Transfers outside the European Union

Website data is hosted in France by o2switch. Technical data transmitted to Apple may transit to the United States as part of normal App Store operation; such transfers are governed by the mechanisms put in place by Apple (Standard Contractual Clauses, Data Privacy Framework).
