The short version
Bird, Bird! has no accounts, advertising, tracking, analytics services or cloud synchronisation. The app does not send your voice recordings, profile names, preferences or play activity to us or to a third party.
The app saves your chosen garden and sound, voice and movement preferences locally so they are ready when you return.
Your family voices
A grown-up can create an optional named voice profile and record short phrases. These are ordinary audio recordings for local playback. The app does not recognise speech, identify a speaker, clone voices or use recordings to train AI.
Saved profile names and recordings are stored in the app’s protected local storage. An unsaved recording is kept temporarily while you preview it. The built-in Garden voice is supplied with the app; it does not need a remote speech service.
When the microphone is used
Microphone access is requested only when a grown-up presses Record on a phrase’s recording screen. Browsing the gardens, creating a profile or listening to a voice does not require microphone access.
You can decline access and keep using the app’s built-in sounds and narration. To change your choice later, open your iPhone’s Settings and find Bird, Bird! under microphone permissions. Recording stops if the app leaves the foreground.
Keeping and deleting recordings
Saved recordings remain on the phone until you delete them, delete their voice profile or delete the app. You can remove an individual phrase or an entire profile from Family voices in the grown-up area.
Family recordings are excluded from device backups. They do not automatically move to a new phone, and restoring a backup will not recover them. Deleting the app removes the local voice library. We do not have a server copy to restore.
Children’s privacy
Children can play without entering their name, age, email address or any other personal details. The optional recording tools are intended for grown-ups. We do not receive information about which gardens a child uses or how they play.
Holding the leaf opens parent controls separately from play. It is not a request to collect a child’s information.
This website and support are separate
This policy describes the Bird, Bird! iPhone app. Visiting a website or sending a support email is different from playing in the app.
If you email us, your email service sends us the address and information you include. Please avoid sending children’s names, photographs, recordings or other personal details when asking for help. A description of the problem, your iPhone model and iOS version is usually enough.
This website is hosted by Vercel. Delivering and protecting the website involves processing technical request information, such as IP addresses and browser or device information. Vercel describes its processing in its privacy notice. These app pages do not add advertising, analytics tools or a mailing-list form. The clothing waitlist elsewhere on the website is separate from the app.
We use support emails to respond to your request. Messages are handled through our email service and kept for as long as needed to resolve the enquiry and meet applicable legal obligations. You can contact us to request access, correction or deletion of information you have sent. We may need to retain information where the law requires it.
