- No signup required. We don't ask for your email, name, age, or anything personal.
- We don't sell your data. Period.
- We do collect anonymous usage stats (which genres are popular, crash reports) to make the app better.
- Ads are served by Google AdMob. They use an advertising ID to show relevant ads. You can opt out in your phone settings.
- Music streams from Deezer's catalog. Their preview URLs play through your device — we don't store songs.
- You can delete your data anytime by uninstalling the app (and emailing us if you want server-side data removed too).
