Terms & Conditions

1About Giro

Giro is a mobile application that connects to your Discogs account to help you manage and explore your music collection. By using the app, you agree to these terms.

2Your Account and Discogs

You sign in to Giro with Apple, and Giro requires a Discogs account, which you connect, to function. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Apple ID and Discogs credentials. Giro only accesses your Discogs data with your explicit authorization via OAuth, and you can disconnect Discogs at any time.

3Data We Store

Giro stores the following data on our servers:

• A hashed (pseudonymized) identifier that your data is stored under, derived from your Giro account or, for accounts from before version 1.22, from your Discogs username — stored instead of the username itself.
• Your Giro account, made when you sign in with Apple: the ID Apple gives Giro for you (not your email or name), your handle, which anyone who knows it can use to find you, and a sign-in for each phone — which keeps only a one-way hash of its token and ends when you sign out or 90 days after it was last used. Accounts from before version 1.22 also keep their Discogs user ID, and their old Discogs username as a handle reserved for them.
• The records you got right in Guess the Song and Guess the Cover, and your sealed jars of marbles, so they survive a new phone or a reinstall. A marble won from a friend in a competition shows their name and profile picture only while you are friends; after either of you unfriends, or they delete their data, it stays with no name or picture. Friends see your marbles only if you turn on Share my marbles with friends (off by default).
• How many AI answers your account asked for that day — and, for the fact behind a cover and You May Like, which records it asked about — stored against your hashed identifier so no single account can use up the AI for everyone. The counts are deleted automatically every day at midnight (UTC); Delete My Data does not clear them early, since that would reset the daily limit.
• If you use Friends: your friends and friend requests, the Discogs username your phone shares with accepted friends so they can open your collection (a label we cannot verify), and — if you allow notifications — a token to send them to your phone. For accounts that used Friends before version 1.22, also the Discogs username and profile picture from then. For 24 hours after a request or reaction notifies a friend, we also keep who notified whom, so it isn't sent twice.
• If the friends' timeline is on: the records you add to your collection from then on (title, artist, year, format, cover and date added) and the reactions you leave or receive — shared only while your Discogs collection is public, visible only to your accepted friends, stored on our servers, and removed by Delete My Data.
• If you duel or compete with friends: the invites, and each competition's days, rounds and both players' answers, until either player deletes their data, which removes the whole match; a duel's rounds and answers are deleted an hour after it ends.

We do not store your Discogs tokens on our servers, and Giro asks Apple for neither your email nor your name. Apart from the timeline records above, your collection is cached locally on your device for offline access only.

The app sends its requests to Discogs directly from your device, so Discogs receives your device's IP address. Our server only signs those requests with Giro's Discogs key and does not relay your Discogs traffic. From version 1.22, our server does not contact Discogs itself.

4AI Features

Giro's AI features — Fun Facts, the fact behind a cover and You May Like — are off until you turn them on in Profile → AI, and are powered by Anthropic's Claude. When they run, your device sends details of records — for Fun Facts, titles, artists and years from your collection and a few totals about it; for the fact behind a cover and You May Like, one record's details from Discogs, such as its title, artists, year, label and format — and the language to answer in, through our server to Anthropic, which processes them in accordance with its own privacy policy. We store neither what is sent nor the answers; the answers are kept on your device.

Pick by mood, available when you turn AI on, is powered by TypeSafe's Jev. To judge a record's energy and mood, Giro sends its title, artists, year, genres and styles — for the records in your collection, and for any record whose page you open — through our server to TypeSafe, which processes them in accordance with its own terms. We keep each answer for up to 180 days, stored against the record's details, not against you.

5Your Rights (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Union or Brazil, you have the right to access, correct, and delete your personal data. You can delete all data associated with your account directly from the app via Settings → Delete My Data. See our FAQ for detailed instructions.

6Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the app after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
