Your music and your servers
Playwave connects directly from your iPhone to the music servers and folders you add. We don't receive your music, your server details or your login information. Logins are kept securely on your device. There is no Playwave account.
Anonymous usage data
To understand how the app is used and to find problems, Playwave sends anonymous usage data to our own servers. This covers things like which features and screens are used, general device and app information (such as iOS and app version), and whether playback, downloads or connections worked. It does not include your music, what you search for, or anything you type.
The data is identified only by random identifiers created by the app, not by your name or contact details. We don't use it for advertising, we don't sell it, and we don't combine it with data from other companies. Playwave does not track you across other companies' apps or websites.
You can turn this off at any time in Settings › Feedback & Privacy › Share Usage & Diagnostics.
Feedback and diagnostics
If you send feedback from the app, we receive your message and, if you choose, some basic app details to help us understand the problem. If you add an email address, we use it only to reply to you.
The same setting also sends diagnostics: technical playback logs, with personal details removed, that help us fix problems such as songs that won't play.
Services you choose to connect
Some features work with other services when you turn them on, such as iCloud to sync your likes and playlists, or Last.fm to record what you listen to. Those services handle your data under their own privacy policies.
Purchases
Purchases are handled by Apple. We don't receive your payment details; we only learn whether Pro is active.
Children
Playwave is a general audience app and is not directed at children under 13.
Keeping and deleting data
We keep usage data only as long as it is useful for improving the app. To ask us to delete data related to your installation, email info@thenextbeacon.com and we'll take care of it within 30 days. Turning off sharing or deleting the app stops collection straight away.
