Overview

Darktone is a self-hosted music player. Your music, your data, your control. We take your privacy seriously.

Data Collection

Darktone does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to us or any third party. Specifically:

No analytics or tracking
No advertising
No data shared with third parties
No account creation on our servers

Your Music Server

Darktone connects directly to your personal Navidrome (Subsonic-compatible) music server. Your server URL and login credentials are stored locally on your device using the iOS Keychain (encrypted). They are never transmitted anywhere except to your own server.

Local Storage

The following data is stored locally on your device:

Server URL and credentials (in encrypted iOS Keychain)
App settings (language, streaming quality, equalizer)
Downloaded songs for offline playback
Cached album artwork and API responses
Search history

All local data can be deleted by removing the app from your device.

Network Requests

Darktone only communicates with the music server you configure. No other network requests are made except for loading artist biographies and images from last.fm (through your Navidrome server's API).

Children's Privacy

Darktone does not knowingly collect data from children under the age of 13.

Changes

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page.
