Lanes
Privacy policy
Last updated: 25 September 2026
Lanes is a multitrack audio recorder for Android, made by Modular Toy. This policy explains what the app accesses on your device and what happens to it.
The short version: your recordings stay on your phone. Lanes has no internet access and does not collect, send or share any of your data.
What Lanes accesses, and why
Microphone. Lanes records audio when you arm a lane and press record. It asks for the microphone permission the first time you do. While a lane is armed Android shows a notification saying the microphone is in use, so you can always see when it is listening.
USB audio devices. If you plug in a USB audio interface, Lanes can record from it. Android asks you to allow access to that device first, and Lanes only reads audio from it.
Notifications. Used only for the “microphone in use” notification described above.
Audio files you choose. When you import a file, or share one to Lanes from another app, Lanes reads that file so it can put it on your timeline.
What Lanes stores
Your recordings, imported audio and projects are stored in Lanes’ private storage on your device. Other apps cannot read them.
What Lanes collects and shares
Nothing. Lanes does not request internet access, so it cannot send anything off your device. There are no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, no crash reporting and no third-party tracking of any kind.
Audio only leaves Lanes when you export or share it, and it goes only to the app or place you choose in Android’s share sheet.
Backups. If you use Android’s own backup or phone-to-phone transfer, Android may copy Lanes’ data, recordings included, into your Google account’s backup or onto your new phone. Android and your Google account handle that, and the developer never receives it. Android’s cloud backup has a size limit that most projects with audio go over, so export anything you want to keep.
Deleting your data
Deleting a clip or project in Lanes removes it. Uninstalling Lanes, or clearing its storage in Android’s settings, removes everything Lanes has stored.
Children
Lanes is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect information from anyone, of any age.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with a new date at the top.
