This policy covers two products:
They behave differently in a few ways, so where it matters I've said which one I'm talking about.
Neither version collects your name, email address or phone number through the app. There's no login. There's no analytics, no tracking, no advertising identifiers, and no third-party code that gathers information about you. I don't know what presets you make, what audio you run through it, or how you use it.
These are stored on your own device. On a Mac, they're kept in a container shared between the app and its plug-ins so they all see the same presets. Nothing is uploaded.
The iOS app has no update check of its own. On iPhone and iPad the App Store handles updates, and that check is Apple's, made by the system rather than by the app, and covered by Apple's privacy policy, not this one.
It does make one kind of request. Now and then, Echo Pitch may ask whether you'd like to rate it on the App Store. Before asking, it looks up Echo Pitch's App Store listing to confirm you have the latest version, sending Apple the app's identifier and your region. That request goes to Apple, not to me, and contains nothing about you. To decide when to ask, the app counts how many times you've opened it; that count stays on your device.
Tapping a link — to the App Store or to this website — hands off to Safari or the App Store app, and from that point their privacy policies apply, not mine.
The Mac version can let you know when a newer version is out. A check has two steps.
First, Echo Pitch sends your licence ID — a 16-character identifier, not your licence key — and the product name to my licence server on Cloudflare, which replies whether that licence is eligible for update notifications. That request contains nothing else: not your email address, not your licence key, not the installed version, no machine or device identifier, no audio, and nothing about how you use Echo Pitch. Because the ID belongs to your licence, this step isn't anonymous: it tells the server which licence is asking.
If the licence is eligible, Echo Pitch then reads one small file from this website that lists the current version number.
When checks happen:
This check only decides whether to tell you about updates. Your licence itself is verified on your Mac, and Echo Pitch doesn't contact the server to activate or validate it during normal use.
Like any request to any website, Cloudflare and my web host record the usual things in their logs, such as your IP address and the kind of software making the request. I don't use that to identify you, build a profile, or contact you.
Purchases are handled by Paddle, who act as the merchant of record. Your name, payment details and billing information go to Paddle, not to me — see Paddle's privacy policy for how they handle that.
Paddle passes me your email address so I can send you a licence key. I use it to send that key, to help you if you write to me, and to let you know about Echo Pitch updates, such as new versions and features. I don't sell it, share it, or use it for anything else, and every announcement email has an unsubscribe link.
Your licence email and key are stored only on your own Mac — in the macOS Keychain, and in a file the app shares with its Audio Unit and VST3 plug-ins, so entering your licence once unlocks all three. Echo Pitch checks your licence without going online, and never sends your email address or licence key anywhere. The only licence detail that leaves your Mac is the licence ID used in update checks, described above.
Your email address and licence key are also kept in a small database I run on Cloudflare, so the licence retrieval page on this site can send your key back to you if you lose it. That record holds your email address, your licence key and which product it belongs to — nothing else. No presets, no usage, no payment details.
When you use that page, the address you type is sent to Cloudflare to be looked up, and the key is emailed to that address. The page never displays a key, and it gives the same answer whether or not a licence exists, so it can't be used to find out who has bought the app. See Cloudflare's privacy policy for how they handle data passing through their service.
If you've turned on sharing analytics and crash data in your device settings, Apple may send me crash reports. These come through Apple, are anonymous, and contain nothing that identifies you. They tell me a bug happened and roughly where in the code — nothing else. If you'd rather not send them, turn that setting off; the app works exactly the same.
There's no account. The only thing I hold is the licence record described above — your email address and key. Write to me and I'll delete it, though after that the retrieval page won't be able to send you your key.
To remove your presets and settings, delete the app. For anything relating to your payment, contact Paddle, or write to me and I'll help.
Echo Pitch isn't aimed at children under 13, and I don't knowingly collect information from anyone.
The app and this site link out to places I don't run — the App Store, Paddle, my own site's other pages. Once you follow a link, that site's policy applies.
If this changes I'll update this page and change the date at the top.
