Privacy Policy for Svar

1. Who this applies to

This Privacy Policy describes how Svar ("the App," "we," "us") handles information when you use the Android application. Svar is developed and published by [Your Name / Developer Name].

2. Information we access

Svar requests the following permissions, used strictly for the purposes below:

• Music and audio files (READ_MEDIA_AUDIO / READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE): Used to find, display, and play the audio files already stored on your device, and to let you edit their tags (title, artist, album, genre, composer, year, and similar metadata) if you choose to. This data never leaves your device.
• Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS): Used only to show the playback control notification while music is playing.
• Foreground service: Used to keep music playing reliably while the app is in the background.
• Network / Cast (Chromecast support): Used only to discover and stream to Cast-enabled devices on your local network when you choose to cast. Svar does not use this to send your data anywhere else. Google's Cast SDK may communicate with Google's infrastructure to enable this feature, governed by Google's own Privacy Policy.

3. What we don't do

• We don't show ads, and Svar contains no advertising SDKs.
• We don't require or support account creation or sign-in.
• We don't use analytics, tracking, or crash-reporting SDKs that collect data about you.
• We don't collect, transmit, sell, or share your personal information with third parties.
• We don't access your music files, tags, or playlists remotely — everything happens on-device.

4. Data you store locally

Playlists, theme preferences, playback settings, and similar app settings are stored locally on your device using Android's standard local storage. This data is not uploaded to any server we operate.

5. Backup & restore

If you use the Backup & Restore feature, Svar creates a JSON file containing your playlists and settings and saves it to a location you choose, using Android's standard file picker. This file stays under your control — Svar does not upload it anywhere. Importing works the same way, reading only the file you explicitly select.

6. Children's privacy

Svar is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.

7. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the app after a change means you accept the updated policy.
