SDplayer Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 7, 2026

Overview

SDplayer is a local music player for Android. Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what data SDplayer accesses and how it is used.

Data Collection

SDplayer does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. There are no analytics, no tracking, no advertising SDKs, and no user accounts.

Permissions

SDplayer requests the following Android permissions:

Storage / Media Access

• READ_MEDIA_AUDIO (Android 13+) / READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (Android 12 and below): Used solely to scan and play music files stored on your device. SDplayer does not modify or delete your files.

Internet

• INTERNET: Used exclusively to fetch song lyrics from the LRCLib API (https://lrclib.net). When you search for lyrics, the song's title, artist name, album name, and duration are sent to LRCLib to find matching lyrics. No personal information is transmitted.

Audio Recording

• RECORD_AUDIO: Used only by the audio visualizer feature to capture the app's own audio output for real-time visualization. SDplayer does not record from the device microphone and does not store or transmit any audio data.

Other

• FOREGROUND_SERVICE / FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK: Required by Android to keep music playing when the app is in the background.
• POST_NOTIFICATIONS: Used to display playback controls in the notification area.
• WAKE_LOCK: Prevents the device from sleeping during music playback.

Data Storage

All app data (playlists, favorites, equalizer settings, preferences) is stored locally on your device using Android's standard app storage. This data is not accessible to other apps and is deleted when you uninstall SDplayer.

Third-Party Services

SDplayer uses one external service:

• LRCLib (https://lrclib.net): An open-source lyrics database. Only song metadata (title, artist, album, duration) is sent when searching for lyrics. LRCLib's privacy policy applies to data processed by their service.

Children's Privacy

SDplayer does not knowingly collect any data from children or any other users.

If we update this privacy policy, the changes will be posted here with an updated date.
