7. Note on AI-Generated Content

Parts of the content on this website (music, texts, images, character profiles and lore) have been or are created with the help of AI services. Finished website content is curated by the website operator, stored in the project or in Cloudflare R2, and delivered by Rebel Girl FM. When visitors access finished content, no visitor data is transmitted to AI providers. All characters, biographies, roles, age details, contact details within the lore and other information that may appear personal on this website are fictional and do not describe real people. No automated decision-making or profiling within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR takes place.

Song Generator, OpenRouter and D1 Archive

The song generator processes the text you enter, selected character, language, mood, duration and format through a server-side Cloudflare Workers API. For text generation, the prompt is forwarded via OpenRouter to server-side allowlisted free text models; paid models are not enabled in the application. OpenRouter may technically process the request outside the EU. The API uses origin checks, rate limits, size limits, allowed values, prompt-format checks and input filters. For rate limiting, the IP address may be processed briefly for technical purposes; the Cloudflare D1 archive stores song title, idea, character, lyrics, German translation, style and timestamp, but no IP addresses or full user-agent strings. Please do not enter personal or confidential data there.

8. Privacy in the Native App (Android and iOS)

Scope and Core Principle

This section applies to the native Rebel Girl FM app for Android and iOS. The app does not require a user account and contains no push advertising, subscription or song generator. Favorites, history, settings and offline downloads are not synchronized with a Rebel Girl FM account.

App Catalog, API and Cloudflare CDN

The app loads the media catalog from rebel-girl-fm.de, song data through the versioned app API, and audio, video, image and lyrics files from cdn.rebel-girl-fm.de. Cloudflare and our servers may process technically required access data such as IP address, time, requested URL, response and error data, and the app user agent. The purposes and legal bases are delivery of the requested app content and our legitimate interest in secure and stable operation under Art. 6(1)(b) and/or (f) GDPR. The Cloudflare information under "Hosting" also applies.

Data Stored Locally on the Device

The app stores the language, Wi-Fi download setting, background display setting, shift reminders, first-start notice, audio and video favorites, playback history of up to 100 entries, and references to downloaded audio files in protected app storage. This data remains on the device and is not automatically transmitted to Rebel Girl FM or third parties.

Streaming, Lyrics, Downloads and Network Status

Audio, videos, covers and lyrics are loaded from the Cloudflare CDN over HTTPS only at your request. Audio can be downloaded to app-specific document storage and played offline; videos remain online-only. If "Wi-Fi only" is enabled, the app locally checks whether Wi-Fi or Ethernet is available. Network status is not stored permanently or transmitted for analytics.

Optional Local Shift Reminders

Shift reminders are disabled by default. Only after you enable them does the app request notification permission and schedule reminders locally on the device in the Europe/Berlin time zone. No push message is sent through a Rebel Girl FM server, no push token is created and no notification identifier is transmitted to us. Reminders can be disabled in the app or system settings.

Background Playback and Media Controls

Audio playback started by the user may continue in the background. Android uses a media playback service, wake lock and visible media notification; iOS uses the audio background mode. The title and playback status may appear in system media controls. This feature is used only for playback and does not transmit additional personal data to Rebel Girl FM.

Permissions

The app uses internet access for the catalog and media, optional notification permission for shift reminders, and technical Android permissions for background audio playback, wake lock and restoring local reminders after a restart. The app does not request access to location, contacts, camera or microphone. Audio downloads are stored in app-specific storage and do not require general access to your photos or files.

Sharing and External Links

When you share a title, the app passes the action you initiated to the operating system share sheet. Only the target app you select processes the shared content under its own privacy rules. Links to Suno, Mastodon, YouTube, Telegram, Twitch, TikTok, Funkwhale, Discord, the privacy policy and legal notice open in an external app only after your selection. From that point, the respective provider independently processes technical access data in particular.

No Tracking, Advertising or Device Identifiers

The app contains no analytics, advertising, Firebase, crash-reporting or tracking SDKs. Rebel Girl FM does not create usage profiles, use an advertising ID, or read contacts, location data or other device identifiers. Only technically necessary access and security data from requested HTTPS connections may be generated on the server side.

Retention and Deletion in the App

Local data remains stored until you delete it in the app settings, remove individual downloads or uninstall the app. Favorites, history and downloads can be deleted separately. Uninstalling generally removes app-specific local storage according to operating-system rules. Technical server and security logs are subject to the periods described under Hosting and are not removed by deleting local app data.

App Stores and Operating-System Providers

If you obtain the app through Google Play or the Apple App Store, Google or Apple independently processes download, account, device and, where applicable, payment or diagnostic data. Rebel Girl FM does not receive complete store account or payment data. The privacy terms of the store and operating system you use also apply.

9. Updates to This Privacy Policy

This privacy policy is currently valid as of July 16, 2026. Continued development of the website and app, new features, or changed legal or regulatory requirements may require an update. The current version can always be accessed on this page.
