Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 2026

Playlist Pair (“the App”) is an independent utility developed for managing and organizing Apple Music playlists on macOS, iOS, and iPadOS. Your privacy is paramount.

Summary

The App collects no personal data, tracks nothing, has no analytics, and operates zero external servers. All playlist inspection, deduplication, sorting, and track transfers occur strictly on your local device.

What We Do Not Do

We do not collect, store, or transmit your name, email address, IP address, device identifier, location, or usage analytics.
We do not include third-party SDKs, tracking pixels, telemetric reporting tools, or advertising frameworks.
We do not contact any proprietary remote server or database.
We do not sell, share, or monetize any data, because no data is ever collected in the first place.

Apple Music & Media Library Access

Direct MusicKit Framework: The App utilizes Apple’s official MusicKit APIs to interact with your music library and playlists directly on your device.
On-Device System Authorization: Access is granted exclusively through Apple’s native system authorization prompt (NSAppleMusicUsageDescription). The App never has access to your Apple Account credentials, passwords, or payment information.
Playlist Modification: Modifying your playlists (such as adding tracks or reordering) is performed locally via system APIs and Apple Events / AppleScript on macOS (NSAppleEventsUsageDescription). No track metadata or library contents are ever transmitted outside your device.

Local Storage

The App uses Apple’s standard UserDefaults system to store simple UI preferences (such as your preferred color theme and the IDs of the last selected left/right playlists).
This use is declared in the app bundle’s privacy manifest (PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy) under Apple’s reason code CA92.1 for user preference persistence. No personal information or tracking identifiers are stored.

Children’s Privacy

The App does not collect any data from anyone, regardless of age. It is rated 4+ (Made for Everyone).

Changes to This Policy

If this policy ever changes, updates will be published at this same URL with a revised effective date. Because the App operates with zero data collection, any future changes can only maintain or narrow this scope.
