SoundMatchThe short version
- Player names, photos, avatars, stars and records are stored only on your device. We never receive them.
- There are no ads, no accounts, no chat and no advertising tracking.
- We use Google Firebase Analytics to see, in anonymous and aggregated form, how the game is played (for example, which sound worlds are popular) so we can make it better.
- Purchases are handled entirely by Apple. We never see your payment details.
- Grown-up areas (purchases, settings, links and contact) are behind a parent lock.
1. Who we are
SoundMatch ("the app") is made by EdNinja ("we", "us"). This policy explains what information the app and this website handle, why, and the choices you have. If you have any question, write to us at support@edninja.app.
2. Information that stays on your device
To create player profiles, the app lets a parent or child enter a first name or nickname and, optionally, take or choose a photo for a Ninja Studio avatar. The app also keeps game progress such as stars, records and settings (language, difficulty, card count).
All of this is stored locally on the device. It is not uploaded to EdNinja or to anyone else, and it is not included in analytics. Deleting a player or deleting the app removes it.
The camera and photo library are used only when you choose to make an avatar, and only the photo you pick is used.
3. Anonymous usage analytics
The app uses Google Firebase Analytics to understand how SoundMatch is used, so we can fix problems and decide what to build next. We designed it to avoid personal information:
- What is sent: game events such as a sound world being opened, a game started or finished, difficulty and card count, number of mistakes and stars, how long a round took, tutorial and parent-lock steps, and whether the Premium screen was shown or a purchase was completed (product, price, currency and an Apple transaction reference). Firebase also collects standard technical data: a random app-instance identifier, device model, iOS version, app version, language, approximate country or region, and session timing.
- What is never sent: names, photos, avatars, contact details, precise location, or the advertising identifier (IDFA). We never call any feature that links analytics to a person.
- Advertising signals are turned off. We have disabled ad storage, ad personalization and ad user data in Firebase. Analytics data is not used for advertising and is not sold.
Google processes this data on our behalf under its terms. You can read more in Firebase's privacy information and Google's Privacy Policy. Google keeps analytics data for a limited period and then deletes it.
4. Purchases
SoundMatch Premium is an auto-renewing subscription sold through Apple's App Store. Apple processes the payment and manages the subscription; we only receive confirmation of which product is active so we can unlock content. We never see your name, Apple Account or payment card. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple Account settings.
5. Contacting us
If you email us from the app or this website, we receive your email address and whatever you write, and use it only to reply. We delete support emails when they are no longer needed.
6. This website
This website does not use cookies, analytics or third-party trackers, and it loads no outside fonts or scripts. Your language choice is remembered in your own browser's storage. Our hosting provider (Cloudflare) processes standard server logs, such as IP address and pages requested, to deliver and protect the site.
7. Children's privacy
SoundMatch is made for children and is designed to comply with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and similar laws. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Children cannot create accounts, chat, see ads or reach outside links or purchases without passing a parent lock. The names and photos children enter never leave the device.
If you believe a child has sent us personal information, for example by email, contact us and we will delete it.
8. How we share information
We do not sell or rent personal information. We share data only with the service providers described above (Google Firebase for analytics, Apple for purchases, Cloudflare for website hosting) so they can provide their services to us, or when required by law.
9. Your choices and rights
- Delete a player in the app, or delete the app, to remove all data stored on the device.
- Turn off "Allow Apps to Request to Track" or reset your device's identifiers in iOS Settings at any time. SoundMatch does not track you across apps either way.
- Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in Europe or the CCPA in California), you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information, or to object to processing. Because we cannot link analytics data to a specific person, we usually hold nothing we can identify you by, but we will gladly help: write to support@edninja.app.
10. Security and international transfers
Data sent to our service providers is encrypted in transit. Our providers may process data in the United States and other countries, with safeguards such as standard contractual clauses where required.
11. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update it here and change the date at the top. If a change is significant, we will also let you know in the app.
