Draft for review — last updated October 2026.

Recording a hymn (optional)

Under each hymn there is an optional "Record this hymn for us" button. We are collecting recordings of real congregations so that, in future, the app can recognise a hymn by ear. Nothing is recorded unless you tap Record (the first time, tapping Record is your agreement to this section), and your browser asks for microphone permission only then.

A recording lasts up to 30 seconds (you can cancel during the first 20 seconds) and is sent as soon as it stops, together with the hymn number you were viewing. Right after sending you can tap Undo to delete it. Recordings may contain the voices of people around you, so please only record where that is acceptable to your congregation.

Recordings are used only to develop hymn recognition. They are stored privately in Google Firebase (Google Cloud), are never published or sold, are not used to identify anyone, and are deleted automatically after 24 months.

Your recordings and choices

• Hide the record option at any time with the switch above, or with the × next to the option on a hymn page.
• "Delete my recordings" deletes everything sent from this browser, because the delete codes are kept only on your device.
• If you can't use that button (for example you cleared your browser data), contact us through the Contact page with the date, approximate time and hymn number, and we will delete matching recordings.

Other data

We record anonymous usage statistics (such as which hymn was opened, how it was found, and your country) to show popular hymns on the Stats page, and use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used. Your theme and text-size choices are saved only in your browser.
