Privacy, in plain language.

This policy describes OpenTune for Android and the project website. OpenTune is open-source and does not display in-app advertising.

Your music and settings

Listening history, local playlists, preferences and downloaded files are stored on your device. Optional account connections may also read or change data on the service you connect. Clearing app data or uninstalling removes the app’s local data; Android backups and exports you create are separate copies.

Optional app usage counting

Usage counting is enabled by default. It sends a random installation identifier, current app version, activity dates and daily play totals to the project’s analytics service hosted on Cloudflare. The identifier distinguishes installations and version updates; it is not a hardware or advertising identifier. These usage requests do not include song titles, artist names, your Google email or your name.

Turn off Settings → About → Count this phone in usage numbers to stop future usage reports. Disabling reporting does not delete previously submitted totals. The owner’s analytics dashboard requires authentication.

Website downloads

When you click an APK download link, the website uses a random browser identifier in local storage to count unique download browsers and the selected release. Clearing site storage removes that browser identifier. GitHub serves the APK itself, and the main website loads typefaces from Google Fonts. GitHub Pages, Cloudflare and other network providers necessarily receive connection information such as IP addresses when handling requests.

Services you use

Music, artwork, lyrics, radio, podcasts, recommendations and song recognition require requests to their providers. Optional sign-in, music-server connections, scrobbling, listening rooms and voice features send the information needed to perform the action you choose. Those providers have their own privacy practices. Room participants receive information shared within the room, and public relays carry room messages.

Permissions and controls

Microphone access is used when you choose recognition or room voice features. Media access is used for device music. Notifications support playback and downloads. The app’s update installer asks Android for permission before installing an APK. You can change granted permissions in Android settings and disconnect optional services in OpenTune.

Questions and source code

You can review the implementation or contact the maintainer through the GitHub repository. Do not post passwords, account tokens or private identifiers in public issues. Provider retention practices are governed by their own policies.
