Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 29, 2026 · This policy applies to Music Around (the "App").
Music Around (the "Operator", "we") respects your privacy and collects the minimum information necessary. The App is designed to be fully anonymous.
1. Information We Collect
| Type | Details | When |
|---|---|---|
| Location | Precise location (latitude/longitude) | Only on explicit actions — creating a Drop, searching nearby, unlocking, or centering the map |
| Device identifier | Advertising identifier (IDFA) | Only if you consent to ad tracking (ATT) |
| Authentication | Anonymous user ID via Sign in with Apple | At sign-in; Apple's private email relay is supported |
| Usage logs | Technical data needed for operation and diagnostics | While using the App |
We do not collect information that directly identifies you, such as display names, avatars, profile pictures, or your contacts.
2. How We Use Information
- To provide the App's features, such as nearby discovery and creating/unlocking Drops
- To show ads and measure their performance (where consented)
- To diagnose issues and improve quality
3. Location Data
Location is used only when you create, search, or unlock a Drop, or center the map on your position. We do not access location in the background and request only "While In Use" permission. Nearby-search responses do not include your identifier.
4. Third-Party Services
The App uses the following services, each governed by its own privacy policy:
- Apple (Sign in with Apple) — https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/
- Google AdMob (ad delivery and measurement) — https://policies.google.com/privacy
- Supabase (backend and database hosting) — https://supabase.com/privacy
Except as required by law, we do not sell or share collected information beyond the purposes above.
5. Advertising and Tracking (ATT)
The App shows ads via Google AdMob. Ad tracking may use your device's advertising identifier (IDFA), which requires your consent under App Tracking Transparency. The App works even without consent, showing non-personalized ads.
6. Data Retention and Deletion
We retain information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes above or as required by law. Using Delete Account in the App removes data associated with you (profile, Drops, unlock history, points, play history, and the like).
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as needed. We will post significant changes on this page.
