Privacy
Syrinx Privacy Notice
Syrinx ("the app") helps you learn bird songs. This notice explains what data the app handles, why, and the choices you have. Syrinx is published by Quentin Bacquelé (micro-entrepreneur, France). Contact: support@syrinxbirdsong.com.
Data we collect
- Account information. When you sign in with Apple, Google, or email, we receive your email address and display name. Sign in with Apple lets you hide your email. This data is stored with Google Firebase Authentication.
- Learning progress. Your lessons, quiz results, streaks, unlocked regions, and cosmetic choices are stored in Google Firebase (Firestore) so your progress follows your account across devices.
- Community content. If you publish a photo or sound recording to the community feed, that content, your display name, and the post's likes are stored on our servers and visible to other signed-in users. Uploaded media is automatically screened (Google Cloud Vision for photos and an audio classifier for recordings) for unsafe content and to confirm it features a bird.
- Purchases. Subscriptions are processed by Apple. We use RevenueCat to validate purchases and manage subscription status; RevenueCat receives an anonymous app user identifier linked to your account and purchase history. We never see your payment details.
- Microphone. The microphone is used only when you choose to record a bird song for a community post. Recordings are made only while you press record.
What we do not do
- We do not sell your data.
- We do not show third-party advertising.
- We do not track you across other companies' apps or websites.
Service providers
Syrinx runs on Google Firebase (authentication, database, storage, and cloud functions; data hosted in the EU where configured) and RevenueCat (subscription management). These providers process data on our behalf under their own privacy commitments: Firebase privacy and RevenueCat privacy.
Data retention and deletion
Your data is kept while your account exists. Community posts expire from the feed after seven days. You can permanently delete your account and all associated data at any time in the app: Profile → Settings → Delete account. You can also email support@syrinxbirdsong.com, and we will delete your data within 30 days.
Your rights
If you are in the European Union, you have the right to access, correct, export, restrict, or erase your personal data under the GDPR. Write to support@syrinxbirdsong.com to exercise these rights. You may also lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority (in France, the CNIL).
Children
Syrinx is not directed at children under 13. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes
We will update this page when our data practices change and adjust the date above. Significant changes will be announced in the app.
