Pitchlings is a gentle, wordless musical-ear game for young children, published by ShadowTune (Frederic Valente), based in France ("we", "us"). We take your child's privacy seriously. This policy explains what data the app accesses, why, and how it's handled — in short, almost nothing, and nothing personal ever leaves your device.
Game progress. Which creatures your child has met and mastered, and similar gameplay progress, are stored locally on your device. This data never leaves your phone or tablet, and uninstalling the app deletes it.
Profile name (optional). If you create a child profile and give it a name or nickname, that name is stored only on your device. It is used to greet your child in the app and, if you turn on the optional practice reminder, to personalize that reminder (for example, "a few minutes of music with Léa?"). You can leave it blank. It is never transmitted anywhere, and uninstalling the app deletes it.
Purchases. If you unlock the full set of creatures, the purchase is handled entirely by Google Play Billing. We never see your credit card or payment details — Google does, under Google's Privacy Policy. We only learn that "this device owns the unlock" so the rest of the family becomes available.
Pitchlings does not send any personal information off your phone or tablet. In particular, the app does not collect, transmit, or share:
Pitchlings does not use the microphone and does not request microphone permission. Your child plays entirely by listening and tapping — nothing your child says or sings is ever heard, recorded, or processed.
Pitchlings contains no third-party advertising and no third-party analytics or tracking tools. We do not build profiles of children, and we do not sell or share any data — because nothing personal leaves the device in the first place.
Pitchlings is designed for young children and is built to be data-light by default. Because no personal information about your child leaves the device and we show no ads, the app is made to comply with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), Google Play's Families policy, and the EU/UK rules for children's data (GDPR-K and the UK Children's Code).
Because no personal information ever leaves your device, there is nothing for us to access, correct, or delete on your behalf — uninstalling the app removes all local data, including any profile names and progress. If you have questions, contact us at the address below.
Any purchases or external links sit behind a parental gate, so a child cannot buy anything or leave the app without an adult. We use no manipulative "nudge" techniques — no streaks, no pressure to keep playing, and no notifications aimed at children. The optional practice reminder is set up by a parent, is off by default, and is addressed to the parent.
If we update this policy, we will change the "Last updated" date above and may note significant changes within the app.
