  4. 4Purposes

    • Running membership, sign-in and pairing of family members.
    • Measuring listening level, sound dose, posture and earbud events and showing them to the person and their linked parents.
    • Preparing and sending alerts, the weekly report and its PDF.
    • Helping to find a dropped or left-behind earbud.
    • Running goals, stars, streaks, rewards, the wardrobe, friends and the league.
    • Running subscriptions (payment is taken by Apple).
    • Producing anonymous class averages in a school programme a parent chooses to join (at least 10 reporting students).
    • Information security, abuse prevention and fixing errors.
    • Answering requests and complaints; meeting requests from authorities and legal obligations.

    Data is never sold and never used for advertising, marketing or profiling. Earbunny is not a medical device and does not process data to diagnose or treat.

  5. 5Legal bases

    PurposeLegal basis
    Membership, pairing, subscription, goals and rewardsArt. 5(2)(c) — conclusion and performance of a contract
    Listening level, sound dose, Apple Health data, posture and hearing game (health-related)Art. 6(3)(a) — explicit consent (for a child, the parent's explicit consent)
    Event location and background locationArt. 5(1) — explicit consent
    Information security, abuse prevention, debuggingArt. 5(2)(f) — legitimate interest
    Legal obligations, requests from authoritiesArt. 5(2)(ç) — legal obligation
    Protecting rights in disputes, proving consent recordsArt. 5(2)(e) — establishing, exercising or protecting a right
    Optional website analyticsArt. 5(1) — explicit consent (cookie choice)

    We take the cautious view that listening exposure and posture are health data. The explicit consent texts are kept separate from this notice, in the explicit consent text. Saying no only turns off the feature concerned; the rest of the app keeps working.

  6. 6How we collect data

    Data is collected electronically, by automated or partly automated means: the iOS app, the Apple Watch app and widgets, the parent web dashboard, the contact form on this website, Apple Health (HealthKit) and iOS Location Services if you allow them, and the App Store for subscription status. A child's name and birth year are entered by the parent.

  7. 7Transfers

    • Linked parent accounts: a person's data is visible only to them and their linked parents.
    • Schools: only if a parent opts in, only as anonymous class averages and only when at least 10 students report.
    • Processors: our hosting provider in the EU; website and web dashboard infrastructure (Cloudflare, Vercel); Apple (App Store payments, Sign in with Apple, push notifications); Google (Firebase Cloud Messaging for web notifications, optional Google sign-in); an email delivery provider; crash and server log monitoring. Current list: subprocessors.
    • Public authorities: only where the law requires.

    Transfers abroad (Art. 9)

    Our servers are in the EU and some processors are in the United States, so your data is transferred abroad. Under Art. 9 as amended by Law No. 7499 and the Regulation on transfers of personal data abroad, we transfer:

    • on the basis of an adequacy decision of the Board, where one exists for the destination;
    • otherwise under an appropriate safeguard: the Board's standard contract (notified to the Board within 5 business days of signature), binding corporate rules approved by the Board, or a written undertaking authorised by the Board;
    • and only where none of these is possible, in incidental, non-recurring cases under the exceptions of Art. 9(6), including explicit consent. We do not base regular transfers on consent.

    Account deletion is irreversible; data is erased no later than 30 days after the request and also drops out of backups. When a parent deletes a member, that member's data is deleted too. Expired data is deleted, destroyed or anonymised.
