Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 21, 2026

Cymbal ("we", "our", or "the app") is a social music-sharing app. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.

Information We Collect

Account information. When you create an account we collect your email address, a username you choose, and a password (which is securely hashed and managed by Firebase Authentication — we never see or store your plain-text password).

Profile content. You may upload a profile photo, add a bio, and add a website link. Profile photos are stored in Firebase Cloud Storage.

Posts and activity. When you share a song ("cymbal"), we store the song metadata (track name, artist, album, and album art URL sourced from Spotify), any caption or hashtags you add, and engagement data such as likes, comments, saves, and follower relationships.

Comments. Comments you leave on posts are stored alongside your user ID and a timestamp.

Security

All data is transmitted over HTTPS. Passwords are hashed by Firebase Authentication. We do not use any custom or non-exempt encryption.

Cymbal is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
