Overview
Vinyl Rider is a free DJ-practice app designed to keep its working data on your device. The developer does not operate an account system or application backend. The app contains no advertising and no developer-operated analytics, tracking, or crash-reporting SDKs.
This policy explains what the app stores, when it communicates with a music server, and what happens when you contact support or visit this website.
Information the developer collects
The developer does not receive or maintain a copy of your server credentials, direct server requests, downloaded music, artwork, device audio files, offline-library metadata, BPM results, bass-analysis timelines, download queue, or app preferences.
The app does not request contacts, photos, location, microphone, camera, advertising identifier, or media-library permission. When you use the system file picker, the app receives only the audio file you choose.
Information stored on your device
Depending on the features you use, Vinyl Rider stores the following locally:
- app preferences, including theme and deck-display settings;
- the selected server URL, username, and password in the operating system's secure credential storage;
- downloaded audio, artwork, and track metadata in the app's private storage;
- BPM and bass-analysis results used by the decks;
- download queue and recovery information; and
- temporary private copies of device audio selected through the system file picker while needed for playback.
Offline-library data is excluded from the app's own cloud-backup and device-transfer configuration where the operating system supports that control. The app does not provide cloud sync, cross-device library sync, public sharing, or media export.
Subsonic-compatible server connection
Connecting a Subsonic- or OpenSubsonic-compatible server is optional. You can use the decks and local files without a connection. Vinyl Rider does not create or manage server accounts; you obtain the endpoint and credentials from your chosen server operator.
When connected, the app sends authenticated HTTPS requests directly from your device to the selected server. Depending on the requested feature, those requests can include the configured username, a salted authentication token, searches, browsing actions, media and artwork identifiers, request metadata, and your connecting IP address. The developer does not proxy or receive these requests.
The selected server operator may retain account identifiers, searches, request details, IP addresses, and other technical logs to provide and secure its service under its own policies. Vinyl Rider does not request device-location permission or calculate or transmit GPS, coarse-location, or precise-location coordinates.
For Google Play's Data safety terminology, these optional direct transmissions may be treated as collection of user IDs, app interactions, and in-app search history because they leave the device. They are not sent to or received by the Vinyl Rider developer. Retention and any additional use are controlled by the selected server operator.
App stores and operating systems
Apple, Google, your device manufacturer, and your operating system may independently process download, diagnostic, security, or device information when you obtain or use the app. The developer does not control those platform services. Their own privacy notices apply.
Website and support
This static website does not use advertising cookies or a developer analytics service. It is intended to be hosted by Vercel, which may process standard network and server-log information, such as IP address, browser details, requested pages, and timestamps, to deliver and secure the site. See Vercel's Privacy Notice.
If you contact the developer through a support channel, the developer receives the account information and message content you choose to provide and uses it only to respond, investigate the issue, and maintain necessary support records. Please do not send passwords, audio files, or other sensitive information.
Retention and deletion
You control app data stored on your device:
- Server connection: use Disconnect to remove the server URL and credentials from secure credential storage.
- Downloaded tracks: remove individual or selected downloads from Downloaded Tracks, or use Remove All.
- All app data: uninstall the app or clear its app data using your device settings.
Disconnecting does not automatically delete completed downloads. It stops future server requests but does not delete your server account or information already retained by its operator. Contact the operator to exercise rights over information it controls.
Support messages remain within the relevant platform and the developer's support conversation for as long as reasonably necessary to resolve and document the request. You may ask the developer to delete the developer's copy, although the platform may retain its own copy under its policies or legal obligations.
Children
Vinyl Rider is not directed to children under 13, and the developer does not knowingly collect personal information from children through the app. If you believe a child has sent personal information in a support message, contact the developer so it can be addressed.
Your choices and rights
Because the developer does not receive the app's on-device library, credentials, or direct server requests, the developer cannot access, correct, export, or delete that data for you. Use the in-app and device controls described above and contact the relevant server operator about information it controls.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding personal information you voluntarily provide in a support request, including access, correction, deletion, restriction, or objection. Contact the developer through the support channel below. You may also have the right to complain to your local data-protection authority.
Security
The app requires HTTPS server URLs and uses operating-system secure credential storage. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and the developer cannot guarantee absolute security or the security of third-party services.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when the app, website, or applicable requirements change. The revised policy will be posted here with a new "Last updated" date. Material changes will be communicated through an appropriate channel when reasonably possible.
