CouchBeat privacy policy
Last change: November 2, 2026
CouchBeat is a beat-making app. This policy tells you what data the app sends, why, and to whom.
What the app does not collect
- No name, no email address, no account. CouchBeat has no sign-up.
- No contacts, no photos, no microphone recordings leave your phone. The beats and samples you make stay on your phone.
- No advertising identifier. CouchBeat does not track you across other companies' apps or websites, and it shows no advertisements.
What the app sends
CouchBeat sends usage data to Amplitude (Amplitude, Inc., amplitude.com), an analytics service. We use it only to make the app better: to see which challenges are too hard, where players stop, and which features players find.
| Data | What it is |
|---|---|
| Product interaction | What you do in the app: the sessions and their length, the challenges you start, clear or leave, your misses and hints, and on the first three levels of ADVENTURE, each tap and press. |
| Device ID | A random number that the app makes at its first launch. It is not your name and not the advertising identifier. The app keeps it in the phone's Keychain, so the same number continues if you delete the app and install it again. |
| Coarse location | Amplitude finds your country and city from your network (IP) address and keeps them, with the address. The app itself does not read your location. |
| Device facts | The phone model, the iOS version, the app version, the phone's language, region and time zone. |
The data is linked to the device ID. It is not linked to your name, and we do not sell it.
If the app stops with an error, CouchBeat sends a crash report to Firebase Crashlytics (Google LLC, firebase.google.com). The report has the place in the code where the app stopped, the phone model, the iOS version, the app version and a random installation number from Crashlytics. It does not contain what you made in the app. We use it only to find and repair the error.
When the app sends it
The app sends the usage data when it goes to the background, not while you play. It sends a crash report the next time you open the app.
How to stop it, or to delete your data
- The app has no switch to turn analytics off today.
- To delete the data that Amplitude keeps about your phone, write to support@couchbeat.com. Tell us the approximate date you installed CouchBeat and your phone model, so that we can find your device ID.
