The short version
Warbling collects nothing about you. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising, and no tracking of any kind. Your progress lives in files on your own device and is never sent anywhere.
1. Information we collect
None. Warbling does not collect, transmit, or store personal information. The app contains:
- no analytics or telemetry software;
- no advertising software, no ad networks, and no advertising identifiers;
- no accounts, logins, or sign-in of any kind;
- no crash-reporting service operated by us;
- no tracking across apps or websites — no App Tracking Transparency prompt on iOS, and no advertising ID is read on Android.
We operate no server. There is nowhere for us to put your information even if we wanted it.
2. What is stored on your device
The game keeps a few small files in its own private storage so it can pick up where you left off. They record:
- your Journey progress, your personal bests and your recent sessions;
- round-by-round figures used for your Echo Strength and your Warbling Profile — sequence length, accuracy, replays used, and how long you studied and recalled;
- your daily listening total, your run of days, and your Daily Challenge results;
- which birds you have met in Meet the birds;
- your settings: volumes, accessibility choices, language, and Easy, Medium or Hard;
- how many of your free days of play have been used, and whether the unlock has been purchased.
Nothing in those files identifies you, and none of it is transmitted. We cannot read it. Settings › Reset everything erases your progress, settings and history, and deleting the app deletes all of it. On iPhone and iPad your device's own backup may include these files, which is covered by Apple's privacy policy rather than ours; on Android the game opts out of Google's backup.
These figures describe how you have played a game. They are Warbling numbers and nothing more: not a measurement of you, and not health information.
3. The in-app purchase
Warbling is free to download. Journey and Practice are free for your first seven days of play, and one optional purchase keeps them open after that. The transaction is handled entirely by the store you installed the game from — Apple, through the App Store on iPhone and iPad, or Google, through Google Play on Android. Your payment details are given to that store and never to us: we never see a card number, a name, an address, or your Apple Account or Google Account.
The store tells the app only the unlock's price in your own currency and whether you already own it. We receive only the aggregate, anonymous sales reports every developer gets, and those identify no one.
Restoring a previous purchase asks the same store the same question again. Asking for that price and that answer is the only reason the game contacts anything outside your device; on Android the Play Billing library needs the internet permission to do it.
4. Children's privacy
Warbling is suitable for a general audience and collects no information from anyone, including children. There is nothing to disclose on request and nothing to delete, because nothing is gathered in the first place.
5. Third parties
The app integrates no analytics, advertising, or tracking SDKs. The purchase is made through the platform's own payment machinery — Apple's StoreKit on iPhone and iPad, Google's Play Billing library on Android — which is used for nothing but selling and restoring the unlock, and reports nothing to us. We share nothing with anyone, because we hold nothing to share.
Downloading the app is a transaction between you and the store you got it from, Apple or Google, under that store's own policy.
This website loads its typefaces from Google Fonts, which means your browser asks Google's servers for them. It sets no cookies of ours and runs no analytics.
6. Security
The strongest protection we can offer is the one described above: information that is never collected cannot be leaked, sold, or subpoenaed.
7. Your rights
Privacy laws including the GDPR and the CCPA give you rights to access, correct, delete, and port your personal information, and to object to its processing. We hold no personal information about you, so there is nothing for us to produce or erase. You are still welcome to ask us anything, and we will answer.
8. Changes to this policy
If Warbling ever adds something that collects information — online leaderboards, cloud saves, analytics, or advertising — this page will be updated before that version ships, and the date at the top will change. We will not quietly start collecting under a policy that says we don't.
