Scope
This policy describes how Fossify Music Player handles information used by its features. Fossify does not provide an account or cloud service for this app.
Data processed on the device
The app reads or creates the following information only as needed for its features:
- Audio files and embedded metadata such as title, album, artist, and artwork
- Playlists, queue state, favorites, and playback settings stored on the device
Permissions and system services
Android access depends on the feature, Android version, and choices made in system settings. Relevant access includes:
- Audio or storage access, depending on the Android version
- Foreground-service, notification, and wake-lock access for background playback
- Audio-setting access for playback controls
Permissions can be reviewed or revoked in Android settings. Some features will stop working when their permission is unavailable.
Advertising, tracking, and data collection
Fossify Music Player does not request Android's Internet permission. It contains no advertising and does not track users. The app does not send app data, usage records, or identifiers to Fossify. It does not send data to third parties for advertising, analytics, or tracking.
Other apps and services
Music files and metadata leave the device only when you share them or another configured app or provider handles them.
Android, app stores, backup and device-transfer services, and any external app or provider you choose to use operate under their own terms and privacy policies.
Storage and deletion
App settings and local records remain on the device until they are changed or deleted in the app, cleared through Android settings, or removed by uninstalling the app. Files or records managed through Android system providers follow those providers' storage, deletion, and backup settings.

The app does not send diagnostic or usage logs to Fossify. If you report a problem, you decide what text, screenshots, recordings, or log files to share. Public issue reports are visible to anyone; contact Fossify by email before sharing private information.
Security
The app runs within Android's application and permission model. Its source code is public for review. Keep Android and the app up to date.
