Last updated: 8 November 2026

2. Overview#

With Doodlesong you draw on a canvas. A playhead runs across your picture and turns every stroke into notes: height sets the pitch, color picks the instrument. You can save your song as a video.

• There is no account and no sign-in.
• Your drawings, songs and settings stay on your device. We do not run a server for the app, and the app uploads nothing to us.
• The app contains no ads, no usage analytics and no tracking. It uses no advertising identifier. The only third-party service in the app is RevenueCat for purchases (see section 5).
• Photos and camera pictures you pick as a template to trace are processed only on your device.
• We do not sell personal data.

Personal data reaches us or our service providers in only two cases: for buying and checking Doodlesong Pro (Apple or Google and our service provider RevenueCat, see section 5) and when you write to us yourself (see section 6). That is why the App Store privacy details list only purchase history: not linked to your identity, no tracking, used for app functionality and analytics (purchase statistics).

3. Your drawings and songs#

What the app stores. Doodlesong stores your drawings (strokes, colors, pens), the sound settings of your songs (tempo, mood, key), titles, templates and app settings in the app’s protected storage on your device. If you pick a picture as a template, the app keeps a copy of exactly that picture there.

• Legal basis: this processing takes place only on your device; we have no access to it.
• Backups: depending on your settings, the app’s storage can be part of your device backup (for example iCloud Backup, a backup on your computer or Android backup). That is a service of Apple or Google, which we have no influence on or access to.
• Retention and deletion: as long as you like. When you delete a song in the app, it is gone. When you delete the app, all songs and copied templates are deleted with it.

Song videos. When you save a song as a video, the app creates the video on your device and saves it to your Photos library or gallery. When you share a video, you decide in your device’s share menu who receives it. From then on the settings and terms of that service apply.

4. Permissions#

You can withdraw any permission at any time in your device settings. Without Photos or Camera you can still draw freely; without the permission to save, the app cannot put videos into your library. Doodlesong uses neither the microphone nor your location nor your contacts.

5. Purchases and RevenueCat#

You buy Doodlesong Pro as a subscription or a one-time purchase through Apple’s App Store or Google Play. Apple or Google handle the payment. We receive no payment data and no contact details from them.

For purchases, restoring purchases, checking your Pro entitlement and purchase statistics we use the service RevenueCat, Inc., 1032 E Brandon Blvd #3003, Brandon, FL 33511, USA, as our processor. For this the app sends RevenueCat:

• a randomly generated, anonymous identifier (App User ID),
• your purchase history and the purchase receipts from Apple or Google,
• technical details: app version, operating system, device model, language and region, and currency,
• like any internet connection, your IP address.

We send no name, no email address and no account data, because the app has no account and no sign-in. The app uses no advertising identifier and does no tracking. Your drawings, songs, photos and videos are not sent to RevenueCat.

• Purpose: buying Doodlesong Pro, restoring purchases on a new device, checking whether a valid Pro entitlement exists, and aggregated purchase statistics (for example how many subscriptions are started or cancelled).
• Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR for purchases, restoring and checking the entitlement (performance of the contract for Doodlesong Pro). We base the purchase statistics on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest is understanding which offers are bought and running the app economically.
• Storage location and transfer to third countries: RevenueCat stores the data in the USA with Amazon Web Services. There is no adequacy decision for this transfer, because RevenueCat is not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. It is based on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses (Module 2, Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR) in RevenueCat’s data processing agreement (https://www.revenuecat.com/dpa). You can get a copy from us on request.
• Retention: 24 months after your subscription ends or after your last purchase.
• Deletion: write to hello@pakumedia.de and we will have your record at RevenueCat deleted. Because the identifier is anonymous, the order number from your Apple or Google purchase confirmation helps us find it. Purchase receipts held by Apple and Google follow their rules.
• RevenueCat privacy notice: https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy

RevenueCat is bound by an agreement under Art. 28 GDPR to protect your data at least as well as this privacy policy describes and the GDPR requires.

Information from Apple and Google. For accounting, Apple and Google provide us with sales reports and order details as each platform intends (for example product, date, country and, on Google Play, an order number). We use them for our bookkeeping and to answer questions about purchases and refunds (Art. 6(1)(b) and (c) GDPR). We keep them as long as tax and commercial law requires (usually up to ten years).

• Apple privacy notice: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/
• Google privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Crash reports through Apple and Google. If you allowed sharing analytics with app developers in your device settings, Apple or Google provide us with aggregated statistics and crash reports. This data is collected by the operating system, not by our app, and we cannot match it to a person. You can turn sharing off in your device settings at any time.

6. Contacting us by email#

If you write to us, we process your email address and the content of your message in order to reply (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, legitimate interest in answering). We delete the message once it is no longer needed, at the latest after three years.

Our mailboxes are run by Google Workspace as our processor (contracting party Google Cloud EMEA Limited, Dublin). Google also processes emails in the USA; Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (adequacy decision of the European Commission).

7. Your rights#

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection. Because the app keeps no account and your drawings and songs live only on your device, these rights mainly concern purchase data (including at RevenueCat, see section 5) and email correspondence. The identifier at RevenueCat is anonymous; as a rule we can only match it to a person with your order number (Art. 11 GDPR). Contact hello@pakumedia.de.

You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, for example the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

8. Children#

Doodlesong asks for no personal details, including from children. For purchases, RevenueCat processes only the data listed in section 5. Children should only make purchases with their parents’ consent; Apple and Google offer purchase restrictions and family approval for this.

9. Changes#

We update this policy when the app changes. The current version is always at https://pakumedia.de/pakustudios/doodlesong/privacy.
