Privacy policy
Ampeer has no account of its own, no advertising and no analytics, and the developer runs no server that receives your data. Your library, ratings, play history and settings stay on your phone. The app contacts other services only for features you use, listed below.

When the app talks to other services
| Service | When | What is sent |
|---|---|---|
| Last.fm and ListenBrainz | Only after you sign in | Your username, sign-in token, the tracks you play (scrobbles) and the history you ask to import |
| MusicBrainz, Cover Art Archive and AcoustID | When you ask to look up tags or covers | Artist, album and track names, and an audio fingerprint for AcoustID matches |
| Discogs | When you sign in with a token and import your collection or wantlist | Your sign-in token |
| Deezer and Wikimedia | To show artist photos and details | Artist names |
| iTunes Search | To find artwork for items not in your library | Artist, album and track names |
| LRCLIB and NetEase | To find lyrics | Artist and track names |
| Google Fonts | When you pick a font | The font name |
| Spotify and Google | Only if you choose to import a playlist and sign in | The sign-in and the playlist you import |
| Podcast and radio hosts | When you play or fetch feeds | The feeds and stations you add |
| Soulseek | When you use it | Your username, chat and private messages, searches, and your IP address are visible to the server and to other people on the network. Files you share are sent to peers who request them, and the network does not encrypt peer connections |
Requests carry the app name and version as a user agent. Any account you use with these services is made and managed outside Ampeer, and each service's own privacy policy applies to what it holds. Nothing is sent to the developer.
Your data
Your data is on your device. Backup and export are yours. Uninstalling removes it.
Ampeer reads music only from folders you pick, through Android's folder picker. Sign-in tokens are stored on your phone and sent only to the service they belong to.
Permissions the app asks for: internet and network state (to reach the services above); notifications (to show the player and download progress); a foreground service for media playback and for downloads and library scans, and a wake lock (to keep music playing and transfers running with the screen off); and user-initiated jobs (to run large transfers you start). Purchases of Ampeer Pro go through Google Play, which handles payment; Ampeer never sees your payment details.
Deleting your data: the developer holds none, so there is nothing to request. Uninstalling Ampeer removes what it stores on your phone. To remove data held by a service you signed in to, use that service.
Children
Ampeer is not directed to children and does not collect personal information from anyone.
Changes
Any updates to this privacy policy will be posted on this page with a revised date.
