Privacy Policy
SuvMusic is built with a deep respect for your privacy. As an open-source project, our code is transparent and available for anyone to audit.
1. Data Collection
SuvMusic does not collect, store, or sell any personal data on its own servers. We do not have a centralized user database.
- No Analytics: We do not use third-party tracking tools like Google Analytics or Firebase within the app.
- No Account Required: You can use SuvMusic without ever creating an account with us.
2. Third-Party Services
To provide music streaming and enhanced features, SuvMusic interacts with third-party services. These interactions are governed by the respective services' privacy policies:
- YouTube Music: Used for music streaming and metadata. If you choose to log in, your cookies are stored locally and securely on your device using Android's EncryptedSharedPreferences.
- SponsorBlock: An open-source API used to skip non-music segments in videos. The app sends the video ID to SponsorBlock to fetch skip segments.
- Lyrics Providers: We fetch synchronized lyrics from LRCLIB, KuGou, and SimpMusic. Only search queries or track IDs are shared with these services.
- Last.fm: If you enable scrobbling, your playback data is sent to Last.fm as per your account settings.
3. Crash Reporting (ACRA)
SuvMusic uses ACRA (Application Crash Reports for Android) to help us fix bugs. However, no data is sent automatically. When a crash occurs:
- A crash log is generated locally on your device.
- You are prompted to share this log manually.
- You can review the log before sending it (usually via Telegram or email).
- The log contains technical device info (model, Android version) and the stack trace, but no personal identity info.
4. Device Permissions
SuvMusic requests the following permissions for essential functionality:
- Internet: To stream music and fetch metadata.
- Storage: To play local audio files and manage downloads.
- Notifications: To provide playback controls in the notification drawer.
- Haptics: To provide tactile feedback for the "Music Haptics" feature.
- System Settings: Optional permission if you choose to set a song as your ringtone.
5. Local Storage
All your preferences, search history, and cached data are stored locally on your device. You can clear this data at any time through the app settings or by clearing the app's cache in Android settings.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy occasionally to reflect changes in the app. Significant changes will be noted in the app's changelog.
