Scope and controller
This Privacy Policy applies to the Panic Singer mobile application, its account and leaderboard services, notifications, support, and related product services. It does not cover the rest of the Panic Studio portfolio website except where that website is used to make a privacy or account-deletion request.
The data controller is Khachatur Ghazaryan, trading as Panic Studio, Nork 13th Street, 97/7 House, Yerevan 0047, Armenia. You can contact the controller at panicsingerapp@gmail.com.
The short version
- Panic Singer can be played as a guest. An account is optional unless a feature specifically requires one.
- Usage analytics, crash reporting, notifications, and music-offer personalization are separate optional choices.
- Personalized music offers use individual song answers and response speed only after you choose to enable them.
- We do not sell personal data. Artists, labels, managers, and campaign clients do not receive your identity or raw answer history.
- You can change optional choices, export account data, or delete your account and associated data from the app.
Data we collect
The data collected depends on whether you play as a guest, create an account, enable optional features, make a purchase, or contact support. Data may come directly from you, automatically from the app and device, or from authentication, store, advertising, and payment providers.
| Category | Examples | When collected |
|---|---|---|
| Account and profile | Email and sign-in provider information handled by Firebase Authentication; verified Firebase user ID; display name; username; optional age and country; selected avatar; account dates. | When you create or use an account. |
| Gameplay and progress | Scores, streaks, answer totals, play time, achievements, category activity, unlocked content, coin balance, purchase-related unlocks, and per-song aggregate counts for correct, wrong, or timed-out answers. | When you play or synchronize account progress. |
| Public leaderboard profile | Random public ID, display name, username, country, avatar, rank, and gameplay statistics. | When you submit an eligible Timer mode score. |
| Music personalization | Song and artist shown, category, correct, wrong, or timed-out outcome, selected answer, response time, difficulty, game mode, event time, and random installation and session IDs. | Only after you enable personalized music offers. |
| Optional usage analytics | App screens, sessions, feature use, game starts and completions, score summaries, downloads, purchases, achievements, app version, platform, language, random event and installation IDs, and provider-generated app or device identifiers and approximate region where applicable. | Only while Usage analytics is enabled. Individual song answers are excluded. |
| Diagnostics | Crash traces, technical errors, app version, operating system, device model and state, installation identifiers, and related diagnostics. | Only while Crash reports is enabled. |
| Feedback and support | Sentiment, topic, optional message, app version, platform, timestamps, and account ID when you are signed in. | When you send feedback or contact us. |
| Notifications | Push notification token, platform, locale, app version, and notification topic choices. | When you enable notifications. |
| Purchases and ads | Product, subscription, and transaction identifiers, entitlement status, restore information, ad consent state, and rewarded-ad interactions. Stores and advertising providers may process payment status, IP address, app or device identifiers, approximate region, and ad delivery data. | When you view, buy, restore, or use those features. |
| Network and service data | IP address, user agent, request time, security and error logs, and content requests. | When your device communicates with our hosting and content services. |
Data that stays on your device
App and song-language choices, gameplay configuration, downloaded audio and artwork, local download state, recent VS team names, and some guest progress remain on your device unless a described sync or optional collection feature applies.
Tilt gameplay reads motion sensors locally. Motion samples are not uploaded. Panic Singer does not record microphone audio. Opening YouTube or another external service leaves Panic Singer and is governed by that service’s policy.
Personalized music offers
If you choose “Personalize my offers,” Panic Singer uses the songs and artists you recognize, the answers you select, and how quickly you answer to infer music interests. This profile may be used to choose relevant in-app promotions such as releases, albums, artists, or concerts, and may later help tailor gameplay recommendations.
Campaign clients may ask us to reach an audience with relevant music interests. Panic Studio performs that selection. We do not give campaign clients your name, email, username, account identifier, individual answers, or answer speed. We do not combine this profile with third-party browsing activity.
This processing is based on your consent. Choosing general offers does not restrict gameplay. You can turn personalization off in Data & Privacy settings. Collection and use for personalization stop immediately. Once the server receives your choice, previously synced individual music answers are scheduled for deletion after 30 days. During this period they are held only so that you can restore personalization, not used to select offers. Turning personalization back on before the deadline cancels this deletion. Normal retention limits still apply, and unsent answers on your device are discarded immediately. Required aggregate game progress, such as total correct and wrong counts, remains part of account progress until account deletion.
If an account age identifies a player as under 18, personalized music offers are disabled. The resulting profile is used only to select content or offers and does not produce legal or similarly significant effects.
How we use data
- Provide gameplay, downloads, accounts, progress synchronization, leaderboards, purchases, and support.
- Authenticate users, secure the service, prevent abuse, enforce limits, and diagnose failures.
- Maintain the coin wallet, entitlements, achievements, and recoverable account state across devices.
- Send notifications you requested and measure whether product features work as intended.
- Improve the app using optional analytics and diagnostics when you enable them.
- Select relevant first-party music offers when you separately enable personalization.
- Meet legal, accounting, platform, and enforcement obligations.
Legal bases
Where data-protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on performance of our agreement to provide requested gameplay and account features; consent for optional analytics, crash reports, notifications, personalized music offers, and advertising choices where required; legitimate interests in service security, fraud prevention, support, and careful product operation; and legal obligations that apply to us.
When processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting processing that was lawful before withdrawal. If a feature cannot be provided without particular data, we explain that connection at the point of collection.
International transfers
Panic Studio is based in Armenia. Providers may process data in Armenia, the European Economic Area, the United States, and other countries where they operate. Those countries may have different privacy laws. Where required, transfers use recognized safeguards such as adequacy decisions, contractual protections, or provider transfer mechanisms.
How long data is kept
We keep personal data only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose described, subject to legal, security, dispute, and backup requirements.
| Data | Typical retention |
|---|---|
| Account, profile, progress, scores, and entitlements | Until account deletion, unless a limited record must be retained by law or to resolve a transaction or dispute. |
| Individual music-personalization answers | Up to 90 days. Disabling personalization schedules deletion after 30 days, or sooner if normal retention expires. Re-enabling before the deadline cancels that scheduled deletion without extending normal retention. Account deletion removes these answers immediately. |
| First-party usage interactions | Up to 90 days, or earlier when Usage analytics is disabled or the account is deleted. |
| Feedback | Up to 730 days, or earlier on account deletion when linked to an account. |
| Push token and notification preferences | Until notifications are disabled, the token is replaced, or the account is deleted. |
| Local device data | Until removed in the app, the app’s data is cleared, or the app is uninstalled. |
| Provider and infrastructure records | According to configured provider, security, transaction, logging, and backup schedules, then deleted or de-identified. |
Your choices and rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, export, delete, restrict, or object to processing; withdraw consent; opt out of certain advertising uses; and complain to a data-protection authority. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right.
The app’s Data & Privacy page lets you change optional collection choices. Signed-in users can copy a structured data export and delete their account from the Profile page. Device settings also control notification permission and certain platform identifiers.
Account and data deletion
The fastest method is Profile, Account, Delete account and data inside Panic Singer. This removes the Firebase identity and associated Panic Singer profile, synchronized progress, scores, linked feedback, notification registration, usage interactions, personalization choice, and retained individual music answers.
You may also start a deletion request through the website. We may ask you to verify account ownership. Store purchase history and active subscriptions are controlled by Apple or Google and are not deleted by Panic Singer. Deleting the account does not cancel a store subscription, so cancel it separately in your store settings if needed.
Children and younger players
Panic Singer is a Teen-rated general-audience game and is not directed to children under 13. Children under 13 should not create an account or enable optional collection. If local law requires parental authorization at a higher age, a parent or guardian must provide it.
If you believe a child provided personal data without the required authorization, contact us. We will investigate and delete it where required. Known under-18 accounts cannot enable personalized music offers.
Security
We use access controls, authenticated account endpoints, encrypted network transport, bounded data schemas, random public identifiers, and retention limits intended to protect data. No online system can be guaranteed completely secure. Keep your account credentials private and contact us if you suspect unauthorized access.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the app, providers, law, or data practices change. The effective date and version at the top identify the current policy. If a change materially affects an optional consent, we will ask for a new choice where required.
