TONO — Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 26, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how TONO (“the App”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), developed by Stellar Flavor, collects, uses, and protects information when you use the App on iOS and Android.

The short version

TONO works without an account. Your songs, takes, tape tracks, recorded samples and settings are stored on your device. An account is optional and only needed for the cloud backup. The App has no ads and no analytics.

Information We Collect

• Data stored on your device: your songs and takes, tape tracks, sounds you record with the Sampler, and your settings. This stays on your device and is not sent to us, unless you choose to back it up to the cloud (see below).
• Account information (optional): if you create an account, we receive your email address and the sign-in method you use. If you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive the name and email address that service shares with us (Apple may give you the option to hide your email). If you sign up with email and password, your password is handled by our authentication provider and is never visible to us.
• Cloud backup (optional, TONO Pro): if you back up your songs, their content is saved in your account. Backup and restore only happen when you ask for them from Settings; nothing is uploaded automatically. Audio samples you recorded with the Sampler are not uploaded.
• Microphone: the Sampler records up to 20 seconds of audio only when you tap record. The recording is stored on your device.
• Motion sensors: the optional “tilt” control reads your phone’s motion sensors on the device to move a sound control. This data is not collected or sent anywhere.
• Purchase information: TONO Pro is a one-time purchase processed by Apple or Google. We never receive your payment details. The App checks your purchase status with the store.
• Support communications: your email address and the content of any message you send us.

We do not collect your location, contacts or photos, and we do not use advertising identifiers.

How We Use Your Information

• Provide and maintain the App
• Create and manage your account and your cloud backup, if you use them
• Unlock TONO Pro and restore your purchase
• Respond to support requests
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.

Sharing of Information

Information may be shared with:

• Google Firebase (Authentication and Cloud Firestore), which hosts accounts and cloud backups on our behalf under appropriate data protection terms. Access to each account’s data is restricted to that account.
• Apple and Google, to process purchases and, if you use it, sign-in with their services, under their own privacy policies.
• Legal authorities, when required by law.
• Successors, in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Data Retention and Deletion

We keep your account and cloud backup for as long as your account is active. You can delete your account at any time from the App: open Settings, tap your account card at the top and choose Delete account. This deletes your cloud backup and your account. See our account deletion instructions, which also explain how to ask us by email.

Songs and recordings stored on your device are not removed when you delete your account; they are removed when you delete them in the App or uninstall it.

Security

We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.

Children’s Privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Third-Party Services

The App relies on third-party services, including Google Firebase, Apple and Google, which have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their privacy practices.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.
