Privacy Policy

Effective 10 November 2026

Who we are

RiffCatch is made by Sevastyan Nuzhnyy, an individual developer in Florianópolis, Brazil (“we”, “us”). This policy covers the RiffCatch app for iPhone and iPad and this website, riffcatch.app.

Data we collect

None. RiffCatch has no user accounts, no analytics, no advertising and no third-party SDKs, and the app sends nothing to us. What Apple shares with developers is described below.

Microphone

RiffCatch asks for microphone access for two things only:

• Recording a riff. The audio is saved as a file on your device.
• The tuner. Sound is analysed live to find the pitch and is never stored.

All of this happens on the device. No audio is uploaded anywhere. You can turn microphone access off at any time in iOS Settings → Apps → RiffCatch.

What stays on your device

• Your recordings and their details, such as title, date and length.
• Your settings, such as instrument and note names.

They live in the app’s own storage on your iPhone or iPad. They are included in your device backups (iCloud or computer) if you have backups turned on; those backups are between you and Apple, and we can’t see them. A recording leaves the app only when you share or export it yourself through the iOS share sheet, to the place you choose.

Purchases

RiffCatch Pro is a one-time in-app purchase made through Apple’s App Store. Apple handles the payment under Apple’s Privacy Policy. We never receive your name, email, card or billing details. The app asks Apple’s StoreKit whether your Apple Account owns Pro; this is the only network connection the app makes.

Information from Apple

Apple gives developers:

• sales reports, which include Pro purchases by product, country and date;
• App Store statistics, such as downloads;
• App Analytics from people who agreed to share analytics with developers;
• crash reports from people who chose to share them in iOS settings.

These reports don’t include your name, email or Apple Account. We use them only to fix problems and understand how the app is doing.

This website

riffcatch.app sets no cookies and runs no analytics or trackers. It is served by Cloudflare, which processes technical data such as IP addresses to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse, under Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy.

Email

If you write to support@riffcatch.app, we receive your email address and whatever you include in the message. Mail to this address is forwarded by Cloudflare Email Routing to the developer’s Gmail inbox, so Google stores it under Google’s Privacy Policy. We use your email only to answer you, never for marketing, and keep it only as long as needed to answer.

Third parties

We don’t sell, share or hand over data to anyone. The only outside services involved are Apple (the App Store, purchases and the reports above), Cloudflare (this website and forwarding the support address) and Google (Gmail, where support emails are stored), as described above.

Children

RiffCatch collects no personal information from anyone, including children. There are no ads, no chat and no accounts. In-app purchases follow Apple’s rules, including Ask to Buy for children in a Family Sharing group.

Your rights and deleting data

The app gives us no personal data, so for the app there is nothing on our side to access, correct, export or delete under laws such as the GDPR, Brazil’s LGPD or the CCPA. Your app data is in your hands: delete a riff in the app, or delete the app to remove everything it stored.

Support emails are the only personal data we hold. We keep them only as long as needed to answer you. Write to support@riffcatch.app and we’ll show you what we have, correct it or delete it.

Changes to this policy

If RiffCatch ever changes how it handles data, we’ll update this page and the effective date above before the change ships. A change that sends any data off your device would also be explained in the app first.
