Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 30, 2026 · applies to the rewamp apps (Android, macOS, iOS) and rewamp.app
In short: rewamp is free and ad-free. There is no advertising, no third-party analytics and no tracking SDK. We collect the minimum needed to run the service: an anonymous account identifier, your optional email address if you choose to link one, your library and playlists for sync, and anonymous country-level playback statistics. We never sell or share your personal data for advertising.
1. Who we are
rewamp is published by Yohann Magnien. For any privacy question or request, contact [email protected].
2. Data we collect
- Anonymous account identifier. On first launch the app creates a random identifier, stored securely on your device (Keychain on Apple platforms, encrypted preferences on Android). No name, email or personal detail is required to use rewamp.
- Email address (optional). Only if you choose to link an email to recover your account or sync across devices. It is used solely to send you a sign-in code and identify your account.
- Public display name (optional). Only if you publish a playlist to the community; it is shown publicly next to your published playlists.
- Library and sync data. Your favorites, playlists, playlist folders and app preferences are stored on our server so they can sync across your devices.
- Playback statistics. When you play a track, we log the track, a timestamp and the country of origin (derived from your IP address at request time). The IP address itself is not stored with the play. These statistics power popularity charts and are aggregated.
- Problem reports. If you report a broken song or video, the report includes the app version, OS version and device model to help diagnose the issue.
- Server logs. Like every web service, our servers keep short-lived technical logs (IP address, request, user agent) for security and debugging.
3. Data that stays on your device
Downloaded music files, files you open from your device, listening statistics shown in the app, visualizer settings and all other preferences are stored locally. Local files you play are never uploaded.
4. What we do not collect
- No advertising identifiers, no ad networks.
- No third-party analytics or tracking SDKs.
- No precise location — only the country, derived from the IP address of a request.
- No contacts, photos, microphone or any device data unrelated to playback.
5. How we use data
To operate the service: syncing your library, computing popularity and featured content, moderating community playlists, fixing broken files, and securing accounts. Nothing else. We do not sell data, and we do not use it for advertising or profiling.
6. Sharing
We share data only with the infrastructure providers that host the service (our server host and Cloudflare, which serves our content delivery network), acting as processors on our behalf. Playlists you publish to the community are visible to other users under your chosen display name. Donations and in-app purchases, where offered, are processed by Apple or Google — we never see your payment details.
7. Retention and deletion
- Your account data is kept while your account exists.
- You can delete your account at any time in the app (Settings → Account → Delete account) or by following the steps on our account deletion page. This permanently removes your personal data; playback statistics are anonymised so charts stay accurate without being linked to you.
- You can also unlink your email (Settings → Account) and sign out of all devices at any time.
- Technical server logs are rotated and kept only briefly.
8. Security
All traffic between the app and our servers is encrypted (TLS). Accounts use signed tokens that you can revoke from the app at any time.
9. Children
rewamp is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. The app requires no personal information to be used.
10. Your rights
Depending on where you live (including under the EU GDPR), you have the right to access, correct, export or erase your personal data, and to object to or restrict its processing. Most of this is available directly in the app; for anything else, email [email protected] and we will respond promptly. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.
11. Changes
If this policy changes materially, we will update this page and adjust the effective date above.
