The short version
Chart Rush has no accounts. Song clips and artwork come from Apple's public iTunes
Search API, and nothing asks you to sign in to a music service.
What the app stores on your device
- A random player id, generated on first launch, so two phones can find each
other in an online game. It is not linked to your identity.
- The name you type for the table, your board size and night length, your
practice streak and whether you own the Host unlock.
Deleting the app deletes all of it.
What leaves your device
- Online games. Your player id, the name you chose, the survey
board and scores go to Google Firebase Realtime Database so the other phone can
play along.
- Practice leaderboards. Once you have named your table, your
player id, that name and your practice scores go to Google Firebase Realtime
Database so the board can rank runs.
- Practice averages. How long each practice guess took is added to an
anonymous per-song average (a count and a total time, no player id), so the game
can show how you compare.
- Song previews and artwork are fetched from Apple's public
iTunes Search API.
Microphone
During a face-off the app listens so you can shout the song title, using your
phone's built-in speech recognition. Depending on the phone, the operating system
turns the audio into text on the device or sends it to Apple's or Google's speech
service to do that. We do not record, store, or upload audio ourselves.
The microphone is only active during a guessing round.
What we do not do
No ads, no ad identifiers, no tracking, no location, no contacts, no photos. We do
not sell data.
Third parties
- Google Firebase: rooms, practice scores and practice averages. Firebase Privacy ↗
- Apple iTunes Search API: song previews and artwork.
- Your phone's speech recognition service (Apple on iPhone, usually Google on
Android): the microphone audio during a round, as described above.
