Privacy Policy

1 Introduction

Welcome to Music Marquee, developed by Tasty Cocoa Software LLC ("we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our iOS application.

By using Music Marquee, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with these practices, please do not use the app.

2 Information We Collect

Music Marquee collects minimal information necessary to provide its features. Here is what we access and why:

Information We Access Locally

• Apple Music Library Data: Your music library, playlists, recently played tracks, and playback state. This data is accessed through Apple's MusicKit framework and remains on your device.
• App Preferences: Your theme selections, widget configurations, and app settings are stored locally on your device.

Information Processed by Third-Party Services

• Subscription Data: When you subscribe to premium features, our subscription management partner RevenueCat processes device identifiers, Apple receipt files, and subscription status.
• Last.fm Data: If you enable scrobbling, your played track information is sent directly from your device to Last.fm.

Information We Do Not Collect

• Names, email addresses, or contact information
• Advertising identifiers (IDFA)
• Location data
• Analytics or usage tracking data
• Crash reports (we do not use crash reporting SDKs)

3 Apple Music Integration

Music Marquee uses Apple's MusicKit framework to provide its core functionality as an Apple Music companion app.

What We Access

• Your Apple Music library and playlists
• Currently playing track information
• Playback state and controls
• Apple Music catalog for browsing and playback
• Apple Music radio stations

How This Data Is Used

• Displaying your music library within the app
• Powering home screen and lock screen widgets
• Enabling playback controls and now playing displays
• Sending track information to Last.fm for scrobbling (if enabled)

Your Apple Music subscription and account are managed entirely by Apple. We do not have access to your Apple ID credentials or payment information.

4 Last.fm Scrobbling

Music Marquee offers optional Last.fm integration to track your listening history on the Last.fm platform.

How Scrobbling Works

When you enable Last.fm scrobbling, the app sends information about tracks you play directly from your device to Last.fm's servers. This connection is made directly between your device and Last.fm without passing through any servers operated by us.

Information Sent to Last.fm

• Track name, artist, and album
• Timestamp of when the track was played
• Track duration

Authentication

You authenticate with Last.fm using their official OAuth process. We store only the authentication token required to submit scrobbles on your behalf. We do not have access to your Last.fm password.

Last.fm scrobbling is entirely optional. You can use Music Marquee without connecting a Last.fm account. If connected, you can disconnect at any time in the app settings.

For information about how Last.fm handles your data, please review Last.fm's Privacy Policy.

5 Third-Party Services

Music Marquee uses the following third-party services:

Services We Do Not Use

Music Marquee does not include:

• Analytics SDKs (no Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel, or similar)
• Crash reporting SDKs (no Crashlytics, Sentry, or similar)
• Advertising SDKs (no AdMob, Facebook Ads, or similar)
• Attribution or tracking SDKs

6 Data Storage and Security

Local Storage

The following data is stored locally on your device:

• App preferences and settings
• Theme and icon customizations
• Widget configurations
• Last.fm authentication token (if scrobbling is enabled)

Data Security

Locally stored data is protected by iOS security features, including device encryption when you use a passcode, Face ID, or Touch ID. Authentication tokens for Last.fm are stored securely in the iOS Keychain.

Data Retention

Local data remains on your device until you delete the app or clear app data. Third-party services (RevenueCat, Last.fm) retain data according to their own privacy policies.

7 Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only in these limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: RevenueCat processes subscription data on our behalf as described in Section 5.
• At Your Direction: When you enable Last.fm scrobbling, track information is sent to Last.fm as you have requested.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government request.

Because we do not collect or store your personal data on our servers, we have minimal information to share in any circumstance.

8 Your Rights and Choices

All Users

• Apple Music Access: You can revoke Music Marquee's access to Apple Music in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Media & Apple Music.
• Last.fm: Disconnect your Last.fm account at any time in the app settings. You can also revoke access from your Last.fm account settings.
• Delete Local Data: Uninstalling the app removes all locally stored data.
