This policy explains what the Minimal Music app ("the app", "we") does with your information. The app is local-first: it plays music stored on your own device and runs no server of ours.
| Data / permission | Why | Leaves your device? |
|---|---|---|
Audio files (READ_MEDIA_AUDIO) | To find, list, and play the music on your device | No — read on device only |
| Playlists, favorites, theme & sleep-timer settings | To remember your choices | No — stored locally |
| Foreground service / media playback | To keep playing in the background and show lock-screen controls | No |
| Advertising identifier | To show ads via Google AdMob | Yes — to Google |
| Purchase / entitlement data | To validate and restore the ad-free upgrade | Only if you purchase, and only to Google Play / RevenueCat |
We do not sell your personal data, and we do not collect your music files, library, or playlists onto any server.
We use Google AdMob to display ads to users who have not bought the ad-free upgrade. AdMob may collect and process data such as your advertising identifier, device information, and approximate usage/diagnostic data to serve and measure ads. See Google's privacy policy and AdMob's data disclosure. Buying the ad-free upgrade stops AdMob from serving ads.
The ad-free upgrade is processed by Google Play Billing; we never receive your payment-card details. RevenueCat and Google Play process an anonymous purchase identifier to validate and restore your entitlement across reinstalls. See RevenueCat's privacy policy.
Local data (library index, playlists, favorites, settings, ad-free status) remains until you delete it or uninstall the app. We hold no copy of it. See Data deletion below.
Minimal Music has no user accounts and does not upload your data to our servers, so you are always in control of deleting it.
What is deleted: all locally stored data (library index, playlists, favorites, settings, ad-free state) is removed as soon as you clear app storage or uninstall. We hold nothing of yours on a server to delete.
What is kept: we do not collect your music files, library, or playlists, so there is nothing of that kind on our side. In-app purchase/transaction records are held by Google Play in your Google account; we may retain minimal transaction records only where required for legal, tax, or accounting purposes, and only for the period required by law.
The app is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
We may update this policy; material changes will be reflected by a new effective date on this page.
