K-Pop Heardle (“the app”) is published by Jung Soon Shin. This page
describes what data the app does — and does not — collect.
Summary
K-Pop Heardle does not collect any personal data. Everything you do
in the app stays on your device.
What stays on your device
- Your daily-puzzle results, streak, and statistics (stored locally
with Apple’s SwiftData framework).
- Your notification and language preferences (stored in iOS
UserDefaults).
- Any guess input you type (used only in-app for that session; never
sent anywhere).
What we fetch from the network
- The daily song catalog and schedule. This is a single static JSON
file served by jsDelivr (mirroring our GitHub repository). The
request includes no personal data — only the standard HTTP headers
your device automatically sends.
- 30-second audio preview clips from Apple’s iTunes Search service,
the same content available to any music app. Apple may log these
requests under their own policies.
- Optional: the app icon for a cross-promoted sibling app (Biasly),
fetched once from Apple’s iTunes Lookup service.
What we do NOT collect
- Your name, email, phone number, address.
- Your contacts, photos, calendar, microphone, location, health data.
- Any analytics or telemetry.
- Crash reports beyond what Apple already provides via App Store
Connect for developers (anonymous, system-wide).
- Advertising identifiers (IDFA). The app does not show ads.
Third parties
We use Apple’s iTunes Search API and Apple Music deep links. Use of
those services is governed by
Apple’s Privacy Policy.
The song catalog mirror is served by jsDelivr, a free public CDN.
jsDelivr may log standard HTTP request metadata under their
privacy policy.
Children
The app is rated 4+ on the App Store and contains no objectionable
content. It does not collect data from children or anyone else.
Data retention
All on-device data persists until you delete the app or clear its
data via iOS Settings. There is no server-side store to delete from.
