BEATSHARE · PRIVACY
Privacy policy
This is a draft privacy notice for BeatShare, operated by ZicoByte Holding ApS, and will be completed before public release. Contact zicobyte@gmail.com with privacy questions.
Accounts and reservations
When you create an account, Supabase processes your email and credentials. Your profile and saved history are associated with your account. If you reserve a username, we store the name and email address to manage the reservation and any separately chosen email preferences.
Music detection
On Android, the optional Music Listener uses notification access to find active media sessions and read playback status, title, artist and available artwork. Android grants notification access more broadly than music; BeatShare uses it for music detection. You can turn the listener off in Settings or revoke access in Android settings.
When ordinary detection cannot identify a song, available media-session information and artwork may be sent through the BeatShare API to Groq for identification, including in the background. URLs, email addresses and token-like values are redacted. No audio or unrelated notifications are sent.
Diagnostics and artwork
When Music Listener is enabled and BeatShare is open, the app sends music-app and Android version statistics. After 60 seconds without an identified song, diagnostics may include selected media details. Diagnostic reports expire after 30 days. To find artwork, the title and artist may be sent to MusicBrainz and Cover Art Archive.
Sharing and location
When you share a beat, its title and artist are sent to eligible recipients. With permission, your latest location and accuracy are used to match nearby beats. Other users cannot see your coordinates; locations older than 30 minutes are not used for matching. You can pause receiving or revoke location access. Firebase Cloud Messaging delivers optional notifications.
