1. Information Collection and Use

App-Specific Identifier (GUID)

To manage app sessions, track play counts, and improve our services, the App generates a random, unique identifier (GUID) upon the first installation.

• This ID is randomly generated by the App and is NOT linked to your device’s hardware (such as IMEI, Serial Number, or Android ID).
• This ID is used solely for internal analytics and application functionality.

Usage Data & Analytics

We collect anonymous usage statistics to understand how the App is performing:

• Playback Statistics: Number of songs played, skip rates, and duration.
• Technical Diagnostics: Anonymous crash reports and performance logs to help us fix bugs.

---

2. Device Permissions

To provide its core features, the App requires:

• Storage/Media Access: To scan and play audio files stored locally on your device.
• Phone State: To automatically pause music during an incoming call.
• Notifications: To provide playback controls in the notification area and lock screen.

---

3. Data Retention and Deletion

The generated GUID and associated analytics data are stored as long as the App is installed. Since the GUID is not linked to your real-world identity or hardware, deleting the App typically removes the local association. However, you may contact us to request the removal of any data associated with your App GUID.
