Welcome to the Playwise Audio Player App. We value your privacy and are committed to safeguarding your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data when you use our app.
By using the Playwise app, you agree to the terms described in this policy.
Information We Collect
Playwise collects minimal data necessary to deliver a smooth and personalized experience. The types of data we may collect include:
- Audio Files: Audio tracks you select from your local storage or extract from YouTube URLs. These files are processed temporarily for playback or conversion and are not stored on our servers.
- Usage Data: Non-personal data such as device type, app version, IP address, and session duration. This helps us improve app stability and user experience.
- Playback State: The app may save your last played audio, playback position, and playlist preferences locally on your device to enhance continuity.
We do not permanently store or share your audio files or personal data.
Mandatory YouTube Disclosure: You must add this exact text to your website:
This app uses YouTube API Services. By using this app, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service (https://www.youtube.com/t/terms) and the Google Privacy Policy (http://www.google.com/policies/privacy)." Revoking Access: You must provide a link to the Google Security Settings so users can revoke access.
Third-Party Services
Playwise may use third-party services or SDKs to enable certain features, such as YouTube integration or analytics. These services operate under their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing them:
- Google Play Services
- Apple App Store
These services may use data such as cookies or device information to improve their service offerings. However, they do not have permission to use your data for unrelated purposes.
Log Data
When you use the Playwise app, certain log data may be automatically collected, including your IP address, device details, operating system version, app version, and usage timestamps. This information is used exclusively for diagnostic and performance optimization purposes.
Cookies
Playwise does not directly use cookies. However, integrated third-party components (such as YouTube services) may use cookies for analytics or playback purposes. You will be notified if cookies are used, and you can choose to accept or decline them. Note that declining cookies may affect certain features.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. Although no digital system is completely secure, we use industry-standard encryption and access controls to safeguard your information.
Children’s Privacy
Playwise is not designed for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 13. If such information is inadvertently collected, it will be promptly deleted.
External Links
Playwise may contain links to third-party websites or media sources (such as YouTube). We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites. Please review their respective privacy policies before engaging with their content.
Audio Processing and YouTube Extraction
- Audio Source: You can pick local audio files or extract audio from YouTube video URLs.
- Processing: YouTube audio extraction is processed securely and temporarily; we do not store or redistribute content.
- Thumbnails: Video thumbnails may be displayed during playback for visual enhancement but are not saved or reused.
- Retention: Extracted or processed audio remains only on your device and is never uploaded to external servers.
- Sharing: we do not sell your data; we may share recordings with trusted transcription providers or as required by law.
Data Retention
- Playback preferences and recent activity are stored locally on your device for user convenience.
- Temporary data used for audio conversion or thumbnail display is automatically deleted after use.
- No personal or media data is permanently stored on Playwise servers.
Quick consent text (in-app): “Playwise will record audio and convert it to text. Audio may be processed on your device or uploaded to secure servers. Allow recording?” — Allow / Deny (+ optional “Use my recordings anonymously to improve the service” toggle).
