Singbook Privacy Policy

Effective date: 15 October 2026

App: Singbook (Android package org.freevia.verse), version 0.2.0

Publisher: Freevia EOOD, contact [email protected]

Policy URL: https://freevia.org/singbook/privacy/

1. Summary

• Singbook is a local-first songbook. Your songs, setlists and settings are stored on your device.
• Singbook has no server, no user accounts, no advertising and no analytics. The publisher does not receive, collect or store your data.
• When you search for songs or open one, the app contacts third-party song sources directly from your device. Those services receive your search terms and your IP address (section 3).
• Signing in with Google for Drive sync is optional, is not available in this version, and when enabled uses only your private Google Drive app-data folder (section 5).

2. Data stored on your device

Singbook stores the following only on your device, in the app's private storage:

• Your song library: lyrics, chords, notes, timing data, source links, attribution and rights notes, kept in a local SQLite database and as ChordPro content.
• Setlists, favourites, and app settings (theme, palette, language, reader text size, enabled sources).
• Temporary files and caches (for example cached source responses, PDF export files). These are excluded from Android backup.

Android Auto Backup / device transfer may copy the app's library and preferences to your Google account backup or to a new device if you have Android backup turned on in system settings. That backup is handled by Google and Android under your device settings, not by the publisher.

Files you import, export, print or share leave the app only when you choose to (for example through the Android share sheet or a PDF you save). Singbook does not read other files or your contacts, location, camera, microphone or photos. The only declared Android permission of consequence is INTERNET (to reach the sources in section 3); the app also uses the normal network-state permission added by its networking library.

3. Data sent to third-party sources

There is no Singbook backend. When you search for a song, open a song, or when the app looks up metadata, the app on your device makes HTTPS requests to the services below. Which of them are contacted depends on which sources are enabled and which songs you open; some are only contacted on demand.

What each service can receive: the search text or the song title/artist/album/duration you looked up, standard request information such as your IP address, device network details, and a User-Agent header of the form Singbook/<version> (with the publisher's contact URL if configured). Singbook does not send your library, your name, email address, device identifiers or advertising identifiers to these services, and it does not log in to them (except the token below).

Ozbcoz and Worship Together are import-only: Singbook does not contact them automatically; you download a file yourself and import it.

These services are independent of the publisher and have their own privacy policies and terms; they may log requests, and your IP address reveals an approximate location. Singbook does not control what they do. You can reduce exposure by turning off sources you do not want (where the app offers that setting) and by not searching.

Singbook sends no data to any other server. Tapping a link in the app opens it in your browser, governed by that site's policy.

4. No tracking, ads or analytics

Singbook contains no advertising SDKs, analytics or crash-reporting services, does not use advertising IDs, does not build profiles and does not sell or share personal data. The publisher does not receive data from the app.

5. Google sign-in and Drive sync (optional, not enabled in this version)

Singbook can offer sign-in with Google to sync your library between your own devices. This needs Google OAuth registration that is not configured in version 0.2.0, so the feature is shown as unavailable and no Google sign-in occurs.

If a later version enables it:

• It is used only when you tap Connect, and sync runs only when you tap Sync.
• The app requests only the scope https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.appdata, which gives access to a hidden folder reserved for this app in your own Google Drive. It cannot see your other Drive files.
• Your songs (complete ChordPro files) and setlists are uploaded to that folder; Google processes them under Google's privacy policy. Credentials are managed by Google's sign-in SDK on your device. There is no Singbook server, and the publisher cannot access your Drive data.
• You can disconnect in the app and delete the app's data from Drive through your Google Account (Security, Third-party apps and services, or Drive settings, Manage apps).

This policy will be updated before that feature is released.

6. Legal basis and your rights

Because the publisher does not receive or store your data, there is normally no personal data held by the publisher to access, correct or delete. Data on your device is under your control. If you are in the EEA, UK or another region with data protection rights, you may contact [email protected] with any request; the publisher will explain what, if anything, it holds. Your rights toward the third-party services in section 3 are exercised with those services.

7. Deleting your data

• Local data: delete a song or setlist in the app, clear the app's storage in Android Settings, Apps, Singbook, Storage, Clear data, or uninstall Singbook.
• Android backup: manage or delete backups in Android Settings, Google, Backup.
• Google Drive app data (only if sync is later enabled and used): disconnect the app and delete its hidden app data via Google Drive, Settings, Manage apps.
• Exported files and shares: files you have exported or sent to others are outside the app's control and must be removed by you.

8. Security

Network requests use HTTPS only; Singbook refuses plain-HTTP source requests and only follows redirects within the same site. Imported and downloaded song text is parsed as data and never executed. Local data is protected by Android's app sandbox; Singbook does not add its own encryption of the local database. No method of electronic storage is perfectly secure.

9. Children

Singbook is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country) and is not designed to attract them. The app collects no personal information from anyone, including children. Searches are sent to third-party music sources whose content may be unsuitable for young users.

10. Copyright and content

Singbook does not host lyrics or chord sheets. Text appears because you ask your device to fetch it from third-party sources. Copyright owners can send content questions or removal requests to [email protected]; the publisher cannot remove text from third-party sources or from other people's devices, but will review and act on reports regarding the app, including source availability.

11. Changes

The publisher may update this policy when the app or its sources change. The effective date above shows the current version; material changes will be described in the app's release notes.

Bulgarian (Български) - кратко резюме

Това е кратко резюме. Пълната политика на английски език е по-горе.

• Singbook пази библиотеката ви (песни, сетлисти, настройки) само на вашето устройство. Няма сървър на Singbook, профили, реклами или анализи. Издателят не получава ваши данни.
• Когато търсите или отваряте песен, устройството ви се свързва директно (HTTPS) с външни източници (Genius, Songsterr, Ultimate Guitar, LRCLIB, YouTube Music, Lyrics.ovh/Deezer, SyncLRC, Better Lyrics, MusicBrainz, Wikidata, Wikimedia, GitHub за WorshipCommons, seanmcgrathmusic.com, filksongbook.com, Chordie). Те получават думите за търсене и IP адреса ви и имат собствени политики.
• Вход с Google за синхронизиране с Drive е по избор, не е наличен във версия 0.2.0 и (ако се включи) използва само скритата папка на приложението (drive.appdata) във вашия Google Drive.
• Изтриване: изтрийте песни в приложението, "Изчистване на данните" в Настройки на Android, деинсталирайте приложението, или (при синхронизиране) изтрийте данните на приложението от Google Drive.
• Приложението не е предназначено за деца под 13 г. и не събира лични данни.

Ukrainian (Українська) - короткий виклад

Це короткий виклад. Повний текст політики англійською мовою наведено вище.

• Singbook зберігає вашу бібліотеку (пісні, сетлисти, налаштування) лише на вашому пристрої. Немає сервера Singbook, облікових записів, реклами чи аналітики. Видавець не отримує ваших даних.
• Коли ви шукаєте або відкриваєте пісню, пристрій напряму (HTTPS) звертається до сторонніх джерел (Genius, Songsterr, Ultimate Guitar, LRCLIB, YouTube Music, Lyrics.ovh/Deezer, SyncLRC, Better Lyrics, MusicBrainz, Wikidata, Wikimedia, GitHub для WorshipCommons, seanmcgrathmusic.com, filksongbook.com, Chordie). Вони отримують пошукові слова та вашу IP-адресу й мають власні політики.
• Вхід через Google для синхронізації з Drive необов'язковий, недоступний у версії 0.2.0 і (якщо буде ввімкнений) використовує лише приховану папку застосунку (drive.appdata) у вашому Google Drive.
• Видалення: видаліть пісні в застосунку, "Очистити дані" в налаштуваннях Android, видаліть застосунок або (у разі синхронізації) видаліть дані застосунку з Google Drive.
• Застосунок не призначений для дітей до 13 років і не збирає персональних даних.
