1. Overview
Clap to Find My Phone ("the App") is a utility application that detects hand claps via the device microphone and triggers a local alarm (sound, vibration, flashlight) to help users locate their phone.
The core App works entirely offline. The App integrates AppLovin MAX as its advertising platform, which may connect to ad servers to serve ads and collect limited device information for ad targeting purposes, as detailed in Section 4.
