Data We Collect

The data we collect depends on how you access Meloman:

  • Telegram Mini App - Telegram user ID, Telegram username (if public), Telegram display language
  • Mobile App (iOS/Android) - Anonymous device identifier (UUID), auto-generated music-themed display name, device language

On both platforms we also collect:

  • Game scores and performance history
  • Gameplay statistics - games played, correct answers, combo streaks, difficulty mode (Easy or Hard), instrumental mode usage, per-album play and correct-answer counts, Rush results (time survived, best time, combos), Daily Challenge results and streaks, and duel statistics (duels played, wins, forfeits) - used to power the achievements system and leaderboards
  • During a Duel session, your opponent's display name and profile photo are shared with you solely to show who you are playing against. This information is not stored beyond the session.
  • Ideas Board - the suggestions you post (text and category) and the votes you cast on other players' suggestions. Your suggestions are shown publicly inside the app together with your display name and profile photo; your votes are stored but only your own vote is shown back to you.
  • Product analytics events - in-app events such as screens opened and games started or finished, sent to our own servers together with your user ID and platform, and used only to understand how the game is used and to improve it.
  • Social features - your friend list, pending friend requests you have sent or received, and the usernames and profile photos of users you interact with. This data is stored on our servers and is visible to other Meloman users within the app.
  • Achievement unlock history and progress toward each badge
  • Played track history (the list of songs from each completed game, used to power the post-game review feature)
  • In-app piece balance and transaction history
  • In-app purchase receipts (processed by Apple or Google)
  • Preferred language setting, synced from your device or Telegram account and stored on our servers
  • Your device timezone, sent at registration and used to roll over the Daily Challenge at the right local time
  • Audio files downloaded to your device for smooth, interruption-free playback (stored locally, never uploaded)
  • Profile photo - only if you explicitly upload one or choose to import your Telegram profile photo
  • Mobile App only (with your permission) - Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) device token, used solely to deliver push notifications on iOS and Android (including friend requests, accepted friends, and duel invites)
  • Telegram Mini App only - notifications are delivered via the Meloman Telegram bot to your Telegram account. No additional token is stored; delivery uses your Telegram user ID already collected at login

How We Use Data

We use collected data solely to operate and improve the Meloman game experience: running leaderboards, tracking achievement progress, powering post-game track review, running the Daily Challenge and the Ideas Board, displaying author profiles for curated albums, enabling social features such as friends and duel invites, personalising your language and game settings, and measuring aggregate product usage so we can improve the game. We do not sell or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes.
