日本語

This English translation is provided for convenience only. In the event of any discrepancy, the Japanese version prevails.

Ishinomaru (石ノ丸, a sole proprietorship trade name; "we", "us" or "our") provides the mobile application "Scorelio" (the "App"). This Policy describes how user information is handled in the App. By using the App, you are deemed to have agreed to this Policy.

1. Provider Information

• Provider: Ishinomaru (石ノ丸)
• Contact email: info@ishinomaru.com

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information Collected Automatically Through the Google AdMob Ads SDK

The App displays banner ads at the bottom of the screen through Google AdMob, an advertising service provided by Google LLC. To serve ads, AdMob collects and uses the following information:

• Advertising identifiers (Android: Advertising ID (AAID) / iOS: Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA))
• IP address
• Device information (OS version, device model, screen size, etc.)
• Ad display and interaction information (impressions, clicks, etc.)
• Approximate location inferred from the IP address

The collected information is sent to Google's servers and processed in accordance with Google's privacy policy.

2.2 Information Stored on Your Device

The App stores the following information on your device (in the platform's standard SharedPreferences and in storage dedicated to the App). The App does not send this information to our servers or to any third-party servers.

• A premium status flag (to determine whether Scorelio Pro features are enabled)
• An in-app purchase auto-restore attempt flag (so that restoring past purchases is attempted only once, on first launch)
• Your ad consent status (managed by the Google User Messaging Platform (UMP))
• A history of recently opened scores (up to 20 entries for scores not in a list): file name, file format, date and time last opened, file size, and a reference for reopening the original file (Android: content URI / iOS: bookmark data). For files added to a score list via "Choose from files", the same items are stored even before the file is opened (the date and time being when the file was added)
• For scores in the above history that are under a certain size, a copy kept in case the original file becomes inaccessible (within the App's dedicated storage; copies of scores not in a list are deleted, oldest first, once a total storage cap is exceeded)
• SoundFont files (.sf2 / .sf3) you import and a list of them (Scorelio Pro)
• Display and playback settings (display pitch, reference pitch, etc.)
• Per-score settings (part volume, instrument sound, mute, solo, visibility, and A-B repeat range) and the content you write on scores (text and handwriting). These are saved in the App's dedicated storage, not written to the original score file
• Score lists you create: the list names, and the file name, file size and order of each score in each list

If your device's OS backup feature (Android Auto Backup / iCloud Backup) is enabled, per-score settings and annotations (including the score file name and file size used for matching), score lists, purchase status and other settings are backed up by the OS to your own Google account / iCloud and can be restored, for example when you change devices. Backups are performed as an OS feature, and we cannot access their content. The history and copies of recently opened scores, and SoundFonts, are not included in backups.

You can delete entries in the history of recently opened scores one at a time from the home screen. For scores removed from the history or from a list (including when a list is deleted), if a score no longer remains in the recent history or in any list, the App later deletes its record and copy automatically. Imported SoundFonts, per-score settings and annotations, and score lists can also be deleted within the App. To erase everything, see §6.4.

2.3 Files You Open in the App

Score files (MusicXML / MIDI / MuseScore / Finale formats) that you open in the App on your device or add to a score list, and SoundFont files (.sf2 / .sf3) that you import, are processed only within the App. We do not collect, store or transmit the content of these files. Displaying and playing scores does not require an internet connection and works offline.

As described in §2.2, these files may be copied to and stored in the App's dedicated storage on your device. In no case are they sent off your device, and exported scores, audio and video are saved to the location you specify when saving.

2.4 Information We Do Not Collect

The App does not collect the following:

• Personally identifying information such as your name, email address, postal address or phone number
• Access to your contacts, photos, camera or microphone
• Precise location (GPS)

2.5 Crash Reports (Firebase Crashlytics)

To improve quality, the App uses Firebase Crashlytics, provided by Google LLC, and collects and sends the following technical information only when the App crashes:

• The stack trace at the time of the crash
• OS version, device model and App version number
• Firebase Installation ID (an anonymous identifier automatically assigned by Google; it does not identify you personally)

The App does not include in crash reports the names or content of score files you open, your name, your email address or any other personally identifying information.

Sending of crash reports is enabled or disabled in sync with the ad consent status described in §5.1. In regions where consent is required (such as the EEA and the UK), crash reports are not sent while consent has not been obtained.

2.6 Usage Analytics (Google Analytics for Firebase)

To improve features and to measure revenue from ads and in-app purchases, the App uses Google Analytics for Firebase, provided by Google LLC, and collects and sends the following information:

• App usage events (screen views, sessions, and actions such as loading and playing score files; the names, content and song titles of opened files are not included)
• In-app purchase events (the ID and price of the purchased product; payment information such as credit card numbers is not included)
• App Instance ID (an identifier automatically assigned by Google to each installation of the App)
• Advertising identifier (the same AAID / IDFA as in §2.1)
• Device information (OS version, device model, etc.)
• Approximate location inferred from a masked IP address (location services such as GPS are not used)

The collected information is sent to Google's servers and processed in accordance with Google's privacy policy. We do not set user IDs and do not link this information to personally identifying information such as names or email addresses.

Collection of usage analytics data is enabled or disabled in sync with the ad consent status described in §5.1. In regions where consent is required (such as the EEA and the UK), the data is not sent while consent has not been obtained.

3. How We Use Information

We use the information collected for the following purposes:

• Displaying ads (serving personalized and non-personalized ads)
• Measuring ad effectiveness and preventing invalid clicks and fraudulent use
• Processing in-app purchases and determining purchase status (whether premium features are available)
• Improving quality and features by analyzing App usage
• Diagnosing and fixing App defects (analyzing crash reports)
• Measuring and analyzing revenue from ads and in-app purchases
• Complying with laws, guidelines and terms of use

4. Third-Party Services

The App uses the following third-party services. Please also review each service's privacy policy.

We do not provide information collected by the App itself to any third party other than those listed above.

In-App Purchases (IAP)

The App offers "Scorelio Pro" (the "Pro Purchase"), a one-time in-app purchase that unlocks features such as removing ads, transposition and export. Payment processing is left entirely to the standard mechanisms of the Apple App Store / Google Play, and we do not collect, store or transmit payment information (credit card numbers, Apple ID / Google account credentials, billing addresses, etc.).

The only purchase-related data the App handles is a Boolean value indicating whether Pro is unlocked, which, as described above, is stored on your device (SharedPreferences). Restoring purchases across devices is performed through receipt verification on Apple's / Google's side, by signing in again with the same Apple ID / Google account and using "Restore purchases" in the App.

5. Ad Personalization and Consent

5.1 Users in the EU / UK (EEA / UK)

For users in the EEA / UK, a consent screen for personalized ads is shown through Google's UMP on first launch. If you decline consent, only non-personalized ads, which are not based on your personal data, will be served.

Collection of crash reports (Firebase Crashlytics) under §2.5 and usage analytics (Google Analytics for Firebase) under §2.6 is also synchronized with your UMP consent status. While consent has not been obtained, this information is not sent. You can change your consent status at any time using the methods described in §5.3.

5.2 iOS Users (App Tracking Transparency)

On iOS 14 and later, under Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework, your explicit permission is required to access the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA). The App works normally even if you do not grant permission, but the personalization of the ads shown will be limited.

5.3 Changing or Withdrawing Consent

You can change your ad consent in either of the following ways:

• In your device's OS settings:
  • Android: [Settings] → [Google] → [Ads]
  • iOS: [Settings] → [Privacy & Security] → [Apple Advertising] and [Tracking]
• In the App, via the menu at the top right of the screen → "Ad consent settings" (shown only in regions where consent is required, such as the EEA and the UK)

6. Your Rights

6.1 GDPR (EU General Data Protection Regulation) / UK GDPR

Users in the EEA / UK have the following rights regarding their personal data:

• The right of access, right to rectification, right to erasure, right to restriction of processing, right to data portability, right to object, and right not to be subject to automated decision-making

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details in Section 1. Because the App itself does not hold information that identifies users, for information processed through Google AdMob you will need to follow Google's prescribed procedures.

6.2 CCPA / CPRA (California Consumer Privacy Act)

California residents have the right to request disclosure of their personal information, to request its deletion, and to submit a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" request. Please send requests using the contact details in Section 1.

6.3 Act on the Protection of Personal Information (Japan)

Users in Japan have the right to request disclosure, correction, suspension of use and other measures regarding their personal information. Please contact us using the details in Section 1.

6.4 Data Deletion

We (the developer) do not operate servers and do not hold users' personal data on any server of ours. Accordingly, there is no data that we can delete. Data can be deleted and controlled through the parties that actually hold and manage it (you and Google), as follows:

• Data on your device (loaded score files and their copies, the history of recently opened scores, imported SoundFonts, per-score settings and annotations, score lists, purchase status, etc.; §2.2 and §2.3): You can erase this yourself by deleting items individually within the App, uninstalling the App, or clearing the App's data in your device settings. Data included in OS backups can be deleted from the backup settings of your Google account / iCloud.
• Data collected by Google (AdMob / Firebase) for ad serving and analytics: You can control this yourself through your Google account's ad settings, by resetting or deleting your device's advertising identifier (Android: Advertising ID (AAID) / iOS: Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA)), and through the privacy tools Google provides.

info@ishinomaru.com is not a service for deleting data on your behalf; it is a point of contact for privacy inquiries. Please send any questions about this Policy or the handling of data to that address.

7. Use by Children

The App is designed for displaying and playing sheet music and may be used by anyone, regardless of age. It can also be used for children's music study.

However, the App displays banner ads provided by Google AdMob at the bottom of the screen. We ask that children use the App under appropriate supervision by a parent or guardian, according to how the child uses it, including where ads lead when tapped.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The App does not participate in Google Play's "Designed for Families" program. If we learn that personal information has been collected from a child under 13, we will delete it promptly.

8. Data Retention

• Information stored on your device (SharedPreferences and the App's dedicated storage): Stored on your device until you delete it. It is erased when you uninstall the App or clear the App's data in your device settings. Copies of recently opened scores are deleted automatically, oldest first, once the total storage cap is exceeded.
• Information collected and processed by Google AdMob: Retained for the period set out in Google's privacy policy.
• Information collected and processed by Google Analytics for Firebase: Retained according to the Google Analytics data retention settings (user-level event data for up to 14 months).

9. Data Security

The App stores your information on your device (for the OS backup feature, see §2.2), and we do not operate any servers. The security of information collected by third-party services (such as Google AdMob) is the responsibility of the respective service providers.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may revise this Policy in response to changes in laws, changes to our services, or the addition or change of third-party services. If there are material changes, we will give notice within the App or on the page where this Policy is published. By continuing to use the App after a revision, you are deemed to have agreed to the revised Policy.
