Overview & Player Scope
My Music ("we", "our", or "the App") is a standalone, local audio player and music organization utility developed by Katrex Technologies for Android devices.
My Music functions exclusively as a media player tool designed to scan, organize, and play audio files (such as MP3, AAC, FLAC, WAV, and OGG) that already reside on the user's physical device storage. This Privacy Policy details our data practices, permission disclosures, and strict copyright compliance standards in accordance with Google Play Developer Policies.
Strict Copyright & Content Disclaimer
To ensure complete transparency and full compliance with international intellectual property laws and Google Play Console policies, please note the following:
ZERO HOSTED COPYRIGHTED CONTENT: My Music does NOT host, store, stream, publish, broadcast, license, or distribute any copyrighted music tracks, commercial albums, or sound recordings. Our servers do not transmit or store audio content.
NO STREAM RIPPING OR DOWNLOADING: The App does NOT contain any features to download, rip, capture, or extract audio from third-party streaming platforms (such as YouTube, SoundCloud, Spotify, or any online media service). My Music does NOT bypass Digital Rights Management (DRM) or copyright protection technologies.
NO PIRACY OR ILLEGAL CONTENT: The App does not facilitate access to torrent networks, illegal file-sharing sites, or unauthorized repositories. It is strictly a local player for user-owned audio files.
USER RESPONSIBILITY: Users are solely responsible for ensuring that all audio tracks stored on their personal device and played through My Music have been lawfully acquired and comply with applicable copyright and licensing laws.
Information We Collect
My Music prioritizes user privacy by collecting minimal data necessary for core audio playback functionality:
- No User Registration or Account Required: You can use My Music without creating an account, registering, or providing personal contact details such as your name, email, phone number, or address.
- Local Audio Metadata: The app reads local audio tags (title, artist, album, track duration) exclusively on your physical device to organize songs into library views. This metadata is NEVER transmitted to external servers.
- User Playlists & Preferences: Custom playlists, favorite tracks, playback queues, and equalizer sound presets are saved strictly locally on your device via Android SharedPreferences / local database.
- Technical Diagnostics: Anonymized device model, operating system version, and crash logs collected solely to fix technical bugs and optimize audio playback stability.
- Advertising Identifiers: Anonymous advertising IDs (such as Google Advertising ID) processed by Google AdMob for non-intrusive ad delivery and frequency capping.
How We Use Information
Any data processed is used strictly to provide, maintain, and enhance the local media playback experience:
- To organize your locally stored audio files into playlists, albums, and artist views.
- To provide continuous, high-fidelity audio playback and equalizer tone control.
- To display media playback controls on your notification drawer and lock screen.
- To serve relevant, non-intrusive advertisements via Google AdMob to support free access to the app.
- To identify and resolve audio playback crashes across different Android OS versions.
Permissions Used
- READ_MEDIA_AUDIO (Android 13+) / READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (Legacy Android): Required exclusively to scan, index, and playback audio files stored locally on your device. Audio files are processed locally and are NEVER uploaded to any remote server.
- FOREGROUND_SERVICE & FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK: Required under Google Play Developer policies to maintain continuous, uninterrupted background music playback while you use other apps or when your device screen is locked.
- POST_NOTIFICATIONS (Android 13+): Required to show the interactive media player notification (Play, Pause, Next, Previous, Album Artwork) on your lock screen and notification shade.
- INTERNET & ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Required strictly to load Google AdMob advertisements and check for app updates.
- No Sensitive Permissions: My Music does NOT request or access Camera, Microphone, GPS Location, Contacts, Call Logs, or SMS.
Advertising (Google AdMob)
My Music integrates Google AdMob to display banner and interstitial advertisements to support free development and maintenance.
Google AdMob may process device identifiers, IP addresses, and interaction metrics in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy. We do NOT sell, rent, or trade your personal data or listening habits to third parties.
Data Security & Local Storage
We implement industry-standard technical measures to safeguard your information:
All user settings, custom playlists, and playback history are stored strictly within Android's sandboxed application storage.
Network communications for ad serving and stability reporting utilize modern HTTPS (TLS 1.3) encryption.
Data Deletion: Clearing the app's cache/data through Android Settings or uninstalling My Music permanently deletes all locally saved playlists and settings.
Children's Privacy
My Music is a general-audience audio utility application. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.
The App strictly complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and Google Play Families Policies. Ad requests are configured appropriately for general audience categories.
