Privacy Policy

Overview

Clarity plays and manages audio files owned by the user, whether stored locally or on a personal WebDAV/NAS server. The developer does not collect or store users' personal information, audio files, or server connection information on developer-operated servers. Clarity does not use advertising, tracking, analytics, or remote diagnostics SDKs.

Information Stored on Your Device

The following information is stored on your device to provide app functionality:

• Imported local audio, WebDAV playback caches, and download status
• WebDAV passwords and authentication information, stored in the device Keychain
• Tab layout, recent plays, resume positions, playback preferences, and other app settings
• Custom artwork images and local library information

The developer cannot access this information.

Optional iCloud Library Sync

Clarity Pro users may enable iCloud Library Sync and choose each WebDAV/NAS connection they want to sync. The feature is off by default. When enabled, the following information is stored in the user's Private CloudKit Database and synchronized between devices signed in to the same iCloud account:

• WebDAV server display name, address, port, root path, username, app-generated server identifier, and modification time
• Registered remote-track server, path, file information, metadata such as title, artist, and album, app-generated track identifier, and registration and modification times
• User-edited remote metadata and the state indicating that embedded source artwork was removed
• Playlists containing WebDAV tracks, favorites, and records used to propagate deletions between devices

Private CloudKit data belongs to the user's iCloud account and counts against the user's iCloud storage quota. Apple's CloudKit and iCloud security and privacy practices apply. The developer cannot view user records in the Production Private Database.

Information Not Stored in iCloud

• WebDAV passwords, authentication tokens, and Keychain data
• Original audio files, locally imported tracks, cache files, and download status
• Custom artwork image files
• Tab layout, recent-play history, and resume positions

Each WebDAV server password must be entered again on a new device.

Network Connections

• WebDAV/NAS communication occurs directly between your device and the server you configure.
• Local Wi-Fi file transfer operates only on the same local network while you have enabled the feature.
• In-app purchases and subscriptions are processed by Apple's StoreKit and App Store. The developer does not receive payment-card information.

Retention, Deletion, and Withdrawing Consent

• You can turn off iCloud sync at any time. Turning it off does not automatically delete existing connections or libraries on each device.
• Using Reset iCloud Sync turns off global iCloud sync and every per-NAS sync switch on this device, and deletes Clarity's sync copy from its Private CloudKit zone. Local connections, libraries, and audio files on each device remain intact.
• If you enable sync again, you must select the NAS connections to sync again. The selected current data is then uploaded to iCloud.
• Ordinary per-item deletion records may be retained for up to 30 days to propagate deletions to devices that were offline, and are then removed.
• On-device data can be removed using the corresponding in-app controls or by deleting the app.

Collection, Tracking, and Third-Party SDKs

The developer does not collect personal information or usage history. Clarity contains no advertising identifier (IDFA), advertising SDK, cross-app tracking, analytics SDK, or diagnostic service that sends remote logs to the developer.
