{"id":3,"date":"2024-02-02T14:01:31","date_gmt":"2024-02-02T14:01:31","guid":{"rendered":"https:\/\/musiclooper.com\/?page_id=3"},"modified":"2026-10-30T18:34:49","modified_gmt":"2026-10-30T17:34:49","slug":"privacy-policy","status":"publish","type":"page","link":"https:\/\/musiclooper.com\/index.php\/privacy-policy\/","title":{"rendered":"Privacy Policy"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Effective date: October 30, 2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This Privacy Policy explains what information the Music Looper app (\u201cMusic Looper\u201d, \u201cthe app\u201d) for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch uses, why, and what choices you have. Music Looper is developed and operated by Imre Vir\u00e1g (\u201cwe\u201d, \u201cus\u201d), who is responsible for the processing described here. You can reach us at any time at <a href=\"mailto:support@musiclooper.com\">support@musiclooper.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short: Music Looper has no user accounts, does not sell your data and does not track you across other companies&#8217; apps or websites. Your library stays on your devices and in your own iCloud account. Audio leaves your device only when you choose to separate or analyze a song, and it is deleted from our servers after processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Information that stays on your device or in your iCloud<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Your library<\/strong> \u2013 songs, audio files you import or record, loops, groups, practices, practice history and settings \u2013 is stored on your device. If iCloud is enabled, it is synced through <strong>your own private iCloud database<\/strong> (Apple CloudKit). We cannot access your iCloud data.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Videos<\/strong> you import are stored only on the device where you added them. Only the extracted audio and your loops sync via iCloud.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Play Along recordings<\/strong> stay on the device where you made them.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>The practice coach<\/strong> runs on your device (using Apple Intelligence when available). Your practice data is not sent to us or to any AI service.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Apple Watch, widgets and Live Activities<\/strong> exchange data only with your paired iPhone.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Practice reminders<\/strong> are local notifications scheduled on your device.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Song separation (Mixer) and song analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you start a stem separation (Mixer) or a song analysis, the app uploads a copy of that song&#8217;s audio (converted to M4A) to our processing service, hosted on Google Cloud in the United States (us-central1). Together with the audio we receive:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a random, anonymous identifier created by Firebase Authentication (no name, email or Apple ID),<\/li>\n\n<li>a random identifier of the song in your library and the file type,<\/li>\n\n<li>the song title (only to show it in the \u201cready\u201d notification) and, if you allowed notifications, your device&#8217;s push notification token.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The uploaded audio is used only to create the stems or the analysis (sections, chords, key and tempo) for you. It is not used to train models and is not shared with anyone else. The uploaded file is deleted as soon as processing finishes; the results and the task record are deleted after your device has downloaded them. Anything left behind (for example if a download never happens) is deleted automatically, typically within 24\u201348 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Separation and analysis are not available for Apple Music songs; their audio is never uploaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Diagnostics and app analytics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Crash reports<\/strong> (Firebase Crashlytics, Google): when the app crashes or hits certain errors, technical data is collected \u2013 device model, OS and app version, the code location of the error and an anonymous app identifier.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Usage statistics (versions 11.167 and earlier)<\/strong>: these versions also included Google Analytics for Firebase, which collected basic, automatic events such as app installs, app updates and sessions, with an app-instance identifier, device model, OS version and approximate country. It never logged your content and was not used for advertising. Version 11.168 and later no longer include Google Analytics.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Error reports (versions 11.166 and earlier)<\/strong>: these versions sent a short technical report to musiclooper.com when a song failed to load, an export failed or a purchase error occurred (app version, the error and details of the affected song such as its title, artist or file name \u2013 never audio or contact details). Version 11.167 and later no longer send these reports; reports we received are used only to fix errors.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Emails you send us<\/strong>: if you contact support or send an import error report from the app, we receive your email address and what you write. The import error report adds technical details of the file (type, size, the first bytes of its header) \u2013 never the file name or the audio.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Apple Ads attribution (version 11.174 and later)<\/strong>: if you installed Music Looper by tapping one of our ads in the App Store, the app asks Apple&#8217;s AdServices framework which ad campaign led to the install. This uses no advertising identifier (IDFA), needs no tracking permission and does not track you across other companies&#8217; apps or websites. Only for installs that came from an ad, we store the campaign, ad group and keyword identifiers, the country or region and the date of the ad tap, together with the anonymous Firebase identifier, and \u2013 if you later start a free trial or subscribe \u2013 the date, the subscription product and the App Store original transaction identifier. We use this only to measure which of our own App Store ads lead to subscriptions. Nothing is stored if you found the app another way. From version 11.175, this measurement is not performed at all when your App Store country or region is in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Music Looper does not track you across other companies&#8217; apps or websites and does not show ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Apple services<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Apple Music<\/strong>: with your permission the app accesses your Apple Music library and the Apple Music catalog to play songs and show artwork. This is governed by Apple&#8217;s privacy policy.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Shazam<\/strong>: when you identify a song, Apple&#8217;s ShazamKit creates an audio signature on your device and matches it with Apple.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Microphone<\/strong>: used only when you record, use Play Along or identify a song with Shazam. Recordings stay on your device unless you choose to separate or analyze them.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Purchases<\/strong> are handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive your payment details. For installs that came from one of our ads, see Apple Ads attribution in section 3.<\/li>\n\n<li><strong>Photos<\/strong>: videos are chosen with the system picker; the app has no access to the rest of your photo library.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Service providers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We use these providers to run the services above; they process data on our behalf:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Google Cloud and Firebase (Authentication, Firestore, Cloud Storage, Cloud Messaging, Crashlytics; Analytics only in versions 11.167 and earlier) \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/firebase.google.com\/support\/privacy\">Firebase privacy<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy\">Google Privacy Policy<\/a><\/li>\n\n<li>Apple (iCloud, Apple Music, ShazamKit, App Store, Apple Ads attribution, push notifications) \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/legal\/privacy\/\">Apple Privacy Policy<\/a><\/li>\n\n<li>Our web host for musiclooper.com (this website).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of these providers process data outside your country, including in the United States, under appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission&#8217;s Standard Contractual Clauses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Legal basis (EEA\/UK users)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We process data to provide the features you request (performance of a contract \u2013 e.g. separation, analysis, notifications), and on the basis of our legitimate interests in keeping the app stable and fixing errors (crash and error reports) and in measuring the effectiveness of our own App Store ads (Apple Ads attribution; from version 11.175 not performed in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Retention<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Uploaded audio, separation results and analysis tasks: deleted after processing\/download, at the latest automatically within about 48 hours.<\/li>\n\n<li>Crash reports: kept according to Firebase Crashlytics&#8217; standard retention period (90 days).<\/li>\n\n<li>Apple Ads attribution records: deleted 24 months after their last update.<\/li>\n\n<li>Error reports from versions 11.166 and earlier, and support emails: kept only as long as needed to fix the problem or answer you.<\/li>\n\n<li>Your library: stays on your devices and in your iCloud until you delete it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Your choices and rights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You can use Music Looper without separation, analysis or notifications \u2013 nothing is uploaded then.<\/li>\n\n<li>Microphone, Apple Music and notification access can be changed at any time in the iOS Settings app.<\/li>\n\n<li>You can delete songs in the app, delete the app&#8217;s iCloud data in Settings \u25b8 [your name] \u25b8 iCloud \u25b8 Manage Storage, and remove videos in the app under Settings \u25b8 Videos on This Device.<\/li>\n\n<li>Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of your data, to object to it, and to data portability. Because we don&#8217;t have accounts, please contact <a href=\"mailto:support@musiclooper.com\">support@musiclooper.com<\/a> and we will help you. You can also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Children<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Music Looper is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact <a href=\"mailto:support@musiclooper.com\">support@musiclooper.com<\/a> and we will delete it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Security<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All connections use encryption (HTTPS), processing tasks are only accessible to the anonymous identifier that created them, and data is kept only as long as described above. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Changes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We may update this Privacy Policy when the app changes. The new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12.
