Privacy Policy

Short version

Pink Buzz does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. The recordings you make and the classifications Apple's Sound Analysis framework produces both stay on your device. There are no accounts, no analytics, and no third-party SDKs that contact a server. The only network calls the app makes are to Apple's StoreKit when you choose to subscribe or unlock the Lifetime tier.

Who we are

Pink Buzz is published by Danielius Studio LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company at 30 N Gould St, Suite #5280, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA (“we”, “us”).

Microphone permission

Pink Buzz requires Microphone access so it can capture short ambient recordings. iOS will prompt you the first time you open the composer. You can revoke the permission at any time in iOS Settings → Pink Buzz. Without it, the composer is unusable but the rest of the app continues to work and your existing entries remain visible.

Recordings are written to on-device SwiftData with @Attribute(.externalStorage) backing them in the app's own data container. They are NEVER uploaded.

On-device Sound Analysis (Apple)

Pink Buzz uses Apple's SoundAnalysis framework with the built-in SNClassifierIdentifier.version1 model. Classification runs locally on your iPhone. The model assigns a top label (e.g. “rain”) and a confidence score; we save only those two values plus the recording duration.

Data we do NOT collect

• No account, no email, no password — the app has no signup.
• No analytics, no telemetry, no event tracking.
• No advertising identifiers (no IDFA, no fingerprinting).
• No usage data sent off the device.
• No camera, no photos, no contacts, no calendar.
• No location.

What stays on your device

• Each capture's short audio file (M4A AAC, ~8 seconds max) plus its top classification label, confidence score, and duration. Stored in on-device SwiftData with external file storage.
• The date the app was first launched (used to time the three-day no-strings free window). Stored in UserDefaults.
• Whether the day-three gift screen has been acknowledged.

All of the above lives on your device and never leaves it. Uninstalling the app deletes it.

In-app purchases

If you choose to subscribe (Monthly, Annual) or buy the Lifetime unlock, that transaction is handled by Apple's StoreKit. Apple processes the payment and shares only the receipt with the app so we can verify your entitlement. We never see your card number, billing address, or any personal information beyond Apple's opaque transaction identifier.

Subscription receipts are stored on-device by iOS and used to validate your entitlement when you re-open the app. They are not sent to any server we operate.

Family Sharing

Pink Buzz Pro purchases (Monthly, Annual, Lifetime) are Family-Shareable through Apple's standard Family Sharing mechanism. Apple handles eligibility checks; we do not see who is in your family group.

Children

Pink Buzz is rated 4+ in the App Store. Because the app collects no data at all, it complies with COPPA and similar children's-privacy regulations by design.

Your rights

Because Pink Buzz does not collect data, there is nothing for us to export, correct, or delete on your behalf. To revoke all access and remove all on-device state, simply delete the app.

Changes

If we ever introduce a feature that involves any data leaving the device (for example, cloud sync), this page will be updated and the “Last updated” date at the top will change. For v1.0, no such feature exists.
