Privacy Policy

Effective Date: February 25, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Discography ("the App") handles information when you use the App.

1. Who We Are

Discography is an iOS music listening app created by Ruhter Enterprises ("we," "us," or "our").

Contact: support@discography-app.com

2. Summary

• We do not sell your data.
• We do not run third-party advertising.
• We do not use cross-app tracking.
• We do not require account creation.
• Most app data is processed and stored on your device.

3. Information We Access

To provide core features, the App may access:

• Media Library Data (with your permission): artist names, album names, track names, metadata, and playback-related fields from your on-device music library.
• App Preferences and Usage State: settings (for example clean-only filter and discography defaults), favorites/hidden items, and last played state.
• Widget Snapshot Data: now-playing snapshot data shared between the app and widget using the app group container.
• Optional Diagnostic Logs: local log files generated on your device.

4. How We Use Information

We use accessed data to:

• Display your artists/albums and discography views.
• Build and play album/artist queues.
• Save your app settings and playback state.
• Power widget now-playing display.
• Support maintenance actions like local log viewing/export.

5. Network Requests

The App may make network requests to Apple iTunes endpoints (for example, itunes.apple.com) to fetch public discography metadata such as artist IDs, album names, release dates, and artwork URLs.

We do not use these requests for advertising or cross-app profiling.

6. Data Storage

Data is primarily stored locally on your device using Apple platform storage (for example, SwiftData and UserDefaults).

No user account database is required to use the App.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell personal information.

We do not share your personal information with data brokers or ad networks. Limited data may be transmitted only as needed to retrieve discography content from Apple iTunes services.

8. Tracking and Analytics

• No cross-app tracking.
• No third-party ads SDK.
• No behavioral advertising profile built by us.

9. Your Choices

You can:

• Deny or revoke Media Library permission in iOS Settings.
• Delete the App to remove app-local data from your device.
• Clear/adjust app behavior through in-app settings.

If you previously granted Media Library access, you can change this at any time in iOS Settings.

10. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

11. Region-Specific Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights related to access, deletion, correction, or portability of personal information. Because Discography is primarily local-device based and does not require accounts, these rights are typically exercised through device/app controls (including deleting the app and revoking permissions).

For requests, contact: support@discography-app.com.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version with a new effective date.

13. App Store Disclosures

App Store privacy labels and Apple privacy manifests may provide additional technical disclosures and should be read together with this policy.
