Lyrical

Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 3, 2025

Introduction

Lyrical ("we," "our," or "us") operates the Lyrical mobile application (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our App.

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address, name, and a unique user identifier through our authentication provider (Clerk). This information is used to provide personalized services and manage your subscription.

Audio Data

The App accesses your device's microphone to recognize songs playing around you using Apple ShazamKit. Audio is processed in real-time for song recognition only and is not recorded, stored, or transmitted to our servers. Only song identification data (title, artist, ISRC) is used to fetch lyrics.

Location Data

With your permission, we collect approximate (city-level) location data to help you discover nearby concerts and live events. Location data is not stored on our servers or linked to your identity.

Usage Analytics

We collect anonymized, aggregated analytics to improve the App. This includes:

  • Feature usage patterns (which features you use most)
  • App performance metrics (latency, response times)
  • Crash reports and error diagnostics

Analytics data is bucketed and anonymized — we do not track individual song choices or link analytics to your identity.

Purchase Information

Subscription purchases are processed through Apple's App Store and managed by RevenueCat. We receive confirmation of your subscription status but never receive or store your payment card details.

How We Use Your Information

  • To provide song recognition and lyrics display features
  • To manage your account and subscription
  • To discover nearby concerts based on your location
  • To improve App performance and fix bugs
  • To send important service notifications

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

  • Apple ShazamKit® — Song recognition (audio processed locally on device)
  • Apple Music™ — Music library access and lyrics
  • Musixmatch™, AudD™, LRCLIB — Lyrics providers (song title/artist sent to fetch lyrics)
  • Setlist.fm® — Concert setlists and tour data
  • Clerk — User authentication and account management
  • RevenueCat — Subscription management (no payment data shared with us)
  • PostHog — Product analytics for feature adoption and user flows
  • Sentry — Crash reporting and performance monitoring

Optional Integrations

You may optionally connect your Apple Music® or YouTube Music™ account to export setlists as playlists. These integrations use industry-standard OAuth authentication. We only request permissions necessary for playlist creation and do not access your listening history or other account data.

Tesla®vehicle integration allows you to display lyrics on your Tesla's browser. This uses a local WebSocket connection and no data is sent to Tesla or any external servers.

You can disconnect these services at any time from the App settings.

Data Storage and Security

  • Lyrics are cached temporarily (6 hours) and automatically deleted
  • No permanent storage of lyrics on our servers
  • OAuth tokens are stored securely on your device
  • All network communications use HTTPS encryption
  • We do not sell your personal information to third parties

Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. Analytics and crash data are retained for up to 90 days. When you delete your account, your personal data is removed from our systems within 30 days.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access your personal data
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion of your data
  • Withdraw consent for optional features (location, integrations)
  • Export your data in a portable format

Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy in the App and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
