Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 5, 2026

Introduction

Lyrical ("we", "us", "our") is operated by APP STAR FAMILY PTE. LTD., a company incorporated in Singapore.

This Privacy Policy explains what information may be processed when you use the Lyrical mobile application ("Lyrical" or the "App") and our related services, how that information is used, and the choices and rights available to you.

We aim to collect and process only the information reasonably necessary to provide, maintain, understand, and improve Lyrical.

Information We Collect and Process

Depending on how you use Lyrical, we may process the following types of information:

  • Usage and analytics data — information about how features and screens within Lyrical are used, app performance, interactions, and diagnostic events.
  • Device information — such as device type, operating system version, app version, language or locale, and identifiers required for app functionality, analytics, attribution, or subscription management.
  • Subscription and purchase information — subscription status, product identifiers, purchase entitlement information, and related transaction information. Payments are processed by Apple; we do not receive or store your full payment-card details.
  • Music and track metadata — such as song title, artist, album, track identifier, ISRC, playback position, duration, and other metadata necessary to identify the music you are playing and retrieve matching lyrics.
  • Live Activity push tokens — when you use supported Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, or related Live Activity features, your device may register an ActivityKit push token with our server. These tokens are used to deliver Live Activity updates and are not intended to directly identify you.
  • Information you choose to submit — for example, information you provide when contacting support or using other input fields within the App.

We do not sell your personal information.

Music Service Integrations

Lyrical integrates with music services including Apple Music and Spotify.

When you connect or use a supported music service, Lyrical may access information necessary to determine what is currently playing and keep lyrics synchronized with playback. Depending on the service and feature, this may include track title, artist, album, track identifiers, ISRC, duration, artwork references, playback position, and playback state.

Lyrical uses Apple Music services including MusicKit and Spotify services and APIs, including Spotify App Remote where applicable.

We do not operate Apple Music or Spotify. Your use of those services is also subject to the applicable provider's own terms and privacy policies.

Lyrical does not use these integrations to build or sell a separate profile of your music listening activity.

Lyrics and Musixmatch

Lyrical uses third-party lyrics providers, including Musixmatch, to identify tracks and retrieve lyrics and synchronization information. To locate the correct lyrics for a song, Lyrical may send relevant track metadata to the lyrics provider. This may include information such as:

  • Song title
  • Artist
  • Album
  • Track identifiers
  • Spotify or Apple Music identifiers where available
  • ISRC
  • Track duration
  • Other metadata necessary to identify the correct recording

Lyrics and Musixmatch (continued)

Lyrics providers may return lyrics, synchronization timestamps, word-level synchronization information, translations, romanization-related source information, track metadata, or information indicating that lyrics are unavailable or restricted.

Lyrics and synchronization information are retrieved as needed to provide Lyrical's features. We do not claim ownership of third-party lyrics content. Lyrics and related copyrighted content remain subject to the rights of their respective rights holders and licensors.

Availability, accuracy, synchronization quality, and completeness may vary between songs and providers.

Live Activities and Push Infrastructure

Lyrical may use Apple's ActivityKit and push notification infrastructure to keep supported lyric experiences updated on the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, and other supported system surfaces. When a Live Activity requires server-assisted updates, an ActivityKit push token and technical information necessary to maintain that Live Activity may be sent to our server. Our Live Activity infrastructure may process information such as:

  • Activity identifiers
  • ActivityKit push tokens
  • Track identifiers and basic track metadata
  • Playback timing information
  • Lyric timing information required to schedule updates
  • Technical state required to maintain or end the Live Activity

Live Activities and Push Infrastructure (continued)

This information is used to provide the Live Activity feature and is not intended to create a persistent listening-history profile.

Live Activity state is designed to be temporary. Push tokens cease to be useful when the corresponding Live Activity ends or expires.

Analytics and Session Replay

We use PostHog to understand how Lyrical is used, diagnose problems, evaluate features, and improve the App.

PostHog may receive app interaction events, technical information, device or app information, screen or feature usage, and related analytics data.

For a limited sample of eligible app sessions, Lyrical may also use Session Replay. Session Replay helps us understand how users navigate and interact with parts of the App and identify usability problems or bugs.

Session Replay is not active on all screens or for all users. Certain experiences, including sensitive or high-frequency interfaces, may be excluded from recording.

Depending on the screen and App configuration, Session Replay may capture visible interface content and user interactions. Users should avoid entering sensitive personal information into free-form fields unless it is necessary for the feature they are using.

Session Replay is used for product improvement, troubleshooting, and quality purposes and is not used to determine subscription eligibility or change the functionality available to an individual user.

Advertising Measurement and Attribution

Lyrical may use advertising and attribution technologies to understand the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. These may include:

  • TikTok SDK for advertising measurement and campaign attribution.
  • Apple AdServices for measuring Apple Search Ads attribution.

Advertising Measurement and Attribution (continued)

Information processed for attribution may include device, app, campaign, and conversion information permitted by the relevant platform and your device privacy settings.

Where Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework applies, Lyrical follows the authorization status selected on your device.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Lyrical and the Website may use cookies, SDKs, and similar tracking technologies for analytics, performance measurement, and advertising attribution, including the tools described above such as PostHog, TikTok SDK, and Apple AdServices.

Where required by applicable law, including the laws of the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, we will request your consent before non-essential cookies or tracking technologies are activated, and you will be able to withdraw that consent at any time through the consent tool provided or your device settings.

Essential technologies necessary for Lyrical or the Website to function, such as those required for security, subscription verification, or core functionality, may be used without consent where permitted by applicable law.

Where Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework applies, Lyrical also follows the tracking authorization choice you make on your device, as described above.

International Data Transfers

APP STAR FAMILY PTE. LTD. is based in Singapore, and our service providers are located in various countries, including the United States and the European Union.

Where we transfer personal data originating from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland to a country that has not been recognized as providing an adequate level of data protection, we rely on appropriate safeguards permitted under applicable law, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or an equivalent mechanism, to protect that data.

You can opt out of this sharing by contacting us at info@appstarfamily.net or by adjusting the relevant permissions on your device, including Apple's App Tracking Transparency setting.

To exercise your California privacy rights, contact us at info@appstarfamily.net. We may need to verify your identity before responding to your request.

Lyrical uses RevenueCat to manage subscription entitlements and purchase status.

RevenueCat may process information such as an app user identifier, subscription product, entitlement status, transaction information, and technical information required to determine whether premium features should be available.

Purchases and billing are processed through Apple's App Store. Lyrical does not receive or store your full payment-card information.

We may use information processed through Lyrical to:

  • Provide and operate Lyrical's features
  • Identify the music currently playing

Third-Party Services

Lyrical relies on third-party services to provide certain features. These services operate under their own terms and privacy policies. They may include:

  • Apple Inc. — App Store, StoreKit, MusicKit, ActivityKit, push notification services, and AdServices
  • Spotify — music-service integration, playback information, and App Remote functionality
  • Musixmatch — lyrics, track matching, synchronization, and related lyrics metadata

Third-Party Services (continued)

The availability and operation of third-party services are outside our direct control.

Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, to operate and secure our services, or to satisfy applicable legal obligations.

Different categories of information may have different retention periods.

Temporary technical information used for real-time features, such as Live Activity state and push tokens, is intended to be retained only for as long as required to operate those features.

Analytics, diagnostic, subscription, and attribution providers may retain information according to their own retention policies.

Data Storage and Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures intended to protect information processed through Lyrical.

No method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security.

Lyrical and its service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live. Where applicable, such processing is subject to the safeguards and legal requirements of the relevant service providers and jurisdictions.

Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights relating to your personal data, which may include rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or other actions permitted by applicable law.

You may also control certain permissions and privacy choices through iOS Settings, your Apple account, and the settings of connected third-party services.

To submit a privacy request relating specifically to information controlled by APP STAR FAMILY PTE. LTD., contact info@appstarfamily.net. We may need to verify your request before taking action.

Information held independently by Apple, Spotify, Musixmatch, RevenueCat, PostHog, TikTok, or another third-party provider may need to be addressed directly with that provider.

Children

Lyrical is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe that a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, please contact us at info@appstarfamily.net so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete the information.

In the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, the age at which a child can consent to data processing without parental authorization may be higher than 13, depending on the specific country. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to us without appropriate consent, please contact us at info@appstarfamily.net so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete the information.
