Privacy policy
Introduction
Our vision is to create applications that are intuitive and easy to understand and use. We feel the same mindset should apply for our privacy policy - so that you as a user will know exactly what data we collect and what we do with it.
This policy covers Amusia on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac. We process personal data as per the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other relevant data protection and privacy laws applicable to us.
Collection of data
Amusia sends anonymous usage events to a third party analytics service called Aptabase, and nothing else about you or your use of it leaves your device. Amusia has no accounts, no ads and no tracking across apps.
An event is sent when you open Amusia, turn on the tuner or the metronome, or change a setting, together with the choice you made - such as the instrument, tuning, scale, key, octave, reference pitch, tempo or theme. When the tuner recognises a note, an event records the note, its octave and frequency, and how loud the sound was. Each event also carries your device's operating system and its version, your language, Amusia's version, and a random session number that Amusia creates on your device and replaces after an hour without use or when it restarts.
We do not collect any device specific identifier such as Device ID, Hostname or Hardware Identifier. Aptabase receives your IP address with each event. It uses it to work out your country and region, and to generate an identifier on the server from a strong hash of your IP Address, User Agent and a strong salt - which differs for each app and is thrown away every 24 hours. It does not store the IP address itself.
This is a common privacy-friendly strategy that makes it impossible for us to correlate sessions that happen on different days or in different apps.
We only use this data to understand how Amusia is used, without identifying the person behind each action. Aptabase processes and stores it within the European Union, for up to 5 years.
You cannot request us to delete your data, simply because it’s impossible to know what data relates to you.
Microphone
Amusia uses the microphone while it listens, to find the pitch of your voice or instrument. The sound is analysed on your device as it comes in, and it is never recorded, stored or sent anywhere. Only the tuning results described above are sent.
On your device
Your settings are kept in Amusia's own storage on each device. They are not synced between your devices, and they are included in your device's backups.
Apple
Apple gives us App Store statistics and, if you have chosen to share them with app developers, crash reports. Apple's privacy policy covers these.
Legal basis and your rights
We process the usage events described above on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving Amusia. You can object to it, or ask us about any of this, through the form below, and you can lodge a complaint with the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY).
Contact
Amusia is made by Filip Moberg in Sweden. If you write to us through the form below, your name, email address and message reach us by email through Web3Forms. We use them only to answer you, and we delete them on request.
Changes
We may update this policy as needed to comply with relevant regulations and reflect any new practices.
