Davinyl is a vinyl collection app made by Adaba Studio. It is built to work offline, and your collection lives on your iPhone. This policy explains exactly what leaves your device, and why.
Your records, conditions, notes and cover images are stored on your device. We operate no server and hold no copy. If you delete the app, that data is deleted with it — so export a backup first if you want to keep it (Settings → Export collection backup, free, plain JSON).
Davinyl uses the Discogs API. A Discogs account is optional. When you sign in, Discogs gives Davinyl an access token, which is stored in your device's Keychain and never sent anywhere else. Davinyl uses it to read your collection and, when you add or remove a record, to write that change back to your Discogs account. Your use of Discogs is governed by their own privacy policy. Signing out removes the token from your device and keeps your local collection intact.
Every scan sends the barcode or search text you enter straight to Discogs' public database to look the record up and show its marketplace price — with or without an account. Nothing about it is stored by us. Without a Discogs account, the records you add stay only on your device.
Davinyl records a small, fixed set of product events — an import finished, a duplicate check ran, the paywall was shown — using PostHog on their EU servers. We use this to see which parts of the app people actually reach, and where they get stuck.
Davinyl Premium is sold through Apple. Payment is handled entirely by Apple — we never see your card details. We use RevenueCat to check whether your subscription is active, which involves sending the same random identifier described above along with your subscription status.
Notifications are optional, are scheduled on your device, and are never sent from a server. You can turn them off in Settings or in iOS at any time.
Davinyl is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
Because the analytics identifier is random and unlinked, we generally cannot find "your" data on request. What we can do is delete data associated with an identifier if you send it to us, and stop collection entirely — deleting the app ends it. If you are in the EU or UK, the GDPR gives you rights of access, correction, erasure and objection; write to us and we will do what we can within those constraints. Our legal basis for analytics is legitimate interest in improving the app.
If this policy changes we will update the date at the top and, for anything material, note it in the app's release notes.
