Thank you for using Tapeflow! Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the Tapeflow macOS app.

1. Information We Collect

Tapeflow is designed with privacy in mind. We do not collect or store any personal information or data from your usage of the app. Specifically:

No User Data Collection: We do not collect your name, email address, or any personal information.
No Tracking: Tapeflow does not track your behavior, usage, or location.
Local Storage Only: All settings, playlists, and metadata are stored locally on your device and are not transmitted to any servers.

2. Permissions

Tapeflow may request the following permissions to provide its features:

File Access: To allow you to load and play audio files from your macOS system.
External Storage Access: If you use external disks, the app requires permission to read audio files stored on those disks.

We do not access or use your files for any purpose other than enabling playback within the app.

3. Third-Party Services

Tapeflow does not integrate with third-party services that process or store user data, ensuring your privacy is fully protected.

4. Data Security

Since Tapeflow does not collect or store any personal data, there are no external servers involved. All data and settings are stored locally on your macOS device. Please ensure that your device is secure to protect your data.

5. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the app’s functionality or legal requirements. Any changes will be communicated through an app update or on our official website.

7. Your Rights

As a user, you have the right to:

Understand how your data is used (in this case, none is collected or shared).

Additional Notes for App Store Submission

Apple requires a clear explanation of your app’s data practices, particularly for:

Data Sharing: Explicitly state that no data is shared with third parties.

Ensure that the above matches the App Store Connect “App Privacy” section to avoid rejection during review.
