Flute: World Acoustic Wind

Authentic Acoustic Simulation • 3D Visualization • Music Education
Privacy Policy • Effective October 2026

Your trust and privacy are paramount. This policy provides complete transparency regarding how the Flute application operates, the diagnostic services integrated, how cloud resources are downloaded, and how your privacy is safeguarded.

1 Our Privacy Philosophy

Flute is engineered from the ground up as a musical instrument simulator and learning companion. We believe that creative expression should never come at the cost of personal privacy.

Zero Personal Data Sale: We do NOT sell, rent, monetize, or trade any personal information, user profiles, or usage data to third-party data brokers, marketers, or advertising networks.
2 Google Firebase Analytics

To understand application stability and user preferences, we utilize Google Firebase Analytics (provided by Google LLC). Firebase Analytics collects aggregated, strictly anonymized statistical usage metrics.

Information Collected:

  • Instrument type selected (Bansuri, Western Concert, Dizi, Shakuhachi, Pan Flute)
  • Feature engagement (Scale changes, Octave toggles, 3D interaction mode)
  • Lesson progress milestones and completion events
  • Technical telemetry: Device model, OS version, app session duration, geographic region (country level)

Purpose: Optimizing low-latency audio playback, refining lesson curves, and ensuring 60fps rendering across various Android hardware configurations. No audio recordings, microphone input, or personal identities are ever sent to Firebase Analytics.

3 Google Firebase Crashlytics

To deliver flawless stability and resolve unforeseen software faults, the app incorporates Google Firebase Crashlytics.

When a rare app crash or native audio buffer error occurs, Crashlytics securely transmits non-personally identifiable diagnostic crash traces (stack traces, memory state, device hardware architecture, OS version). This technical data is used exclusively by our engineering team to troubleshoot bugs and improve application reliability.

4 Cloudflare Edge Network CDN

To ensure pristine audio quality without requiring an excessively large initial app download from the Google Play Store, authentic studio-recorded acoustic audio samples and high-definition instrument textures are securely served via Cloudflare, Inc. Content Delivery Network (CDN) edge infrastructure.

When downloading sound files, encrypted HTTPS requests connect directly to the nearest Cloudflare server. Standard network connection metadata (such as IP address and user-agent string) is processed temporarily by Cloudflare strictly for network routing, DDoS prevention, and content delivery in compliance with Cloudflare’s global privacy standards.

5 Microphone Permission (Acoustic Tuner)

The application includes an optional built-in Chromatic Flute Tuner to assist musicians in tuning their acoustic flutes.

Strictly Volatile Analysis: Microphone audio is analyzed in real time inside temporary device memory using local mathematical autocorrelation algorithms to compute pitch frequency (Hz). The audio is NEVER recorded, NEVER saved, and NEVER transmitted to any external server or third party.
6 Local Performance Recordings

When you record a musical piece using the in-app Recorder, the performance is stored strictly as a sequence of fingering touch events locally within your device's isolated app storage sandbox.

You retain total ownership and control over your recorded melodies. You may play them back, rename them, or delete them permanently at any time.

7 Children's Privacy (COPPA)

Flute is fully compliant with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The application does not require account registration, does not collect personal identifiers, and is suitable for music students and enthusiasts of all ages. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal data from children under 13.

8 GDPR & CCPA Rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU/UK) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), users have rights regarding data transparency and privacy protection.

Because Flute does not mandate user accounts, does not store personal identities, and operates primarily on-device, our data footprint is minimal and privacy-preserving by design.
