Privacy Policy
We collect almost nothing. Your music and your usage data stay yours.
This Privacy Policy is completely inspired by the one of XScreenSaver.
What we do store
If you purchase a license, we do store your email address and name provided during the purchase via Polar, so we can help you in case there are problems with your license. That’s it, nothing else!
We don’t track if and how you use the app, as we don’t want to include a way to track this. We don’t spy on which buttons you clicked or which music you played. Your data is your data, we are not interested in it. We only count the number of license checks so we have a very rough idea of the number of users.
