Privacy policy

VU Retro Player for Android

In short: VU Retro Player has no accounts, no ads and no analytics. Your music, playlists, settings and voice recordings stay on your device. We do not collect, sell or share your personal data.

1. Who we are

The app and this website are provided by Dooshes & Melchom (“we”). Contact: support@vuretroplayer.com.

2. What stays on your device

• Music files and playlists. The app reads audio files you choose or that are stored on your device (permission to read audio) so it can play them. Playlists, favourites and settings are stored locally.
• Voice recordings. If you use the voice recorder, the app asks for microphone access. Recordings are saved on your device (Music/Recordings) and are never uploaded by us.
• Notifications. Used only to show the playback controls while music is playing.

3. Internet services the app contacts

When you use online features, your device connects directly to the following third-party services. They receive technical data such as your IP address and your search terms, and handle it under their own privacy policies. We do not receive it.

• Radio Browser (radio-browser.info) – to search internet radio stations.
• Internet Archive (archive.org) – to search and stream free recordings.
• Jamendo (jamendo.com) – to search and stream Creative-Commons music.
• MusicBrainz and Cover Art Archive (musicbrainz.org, coverartarchive.org) – to look up album artwork for your tracks.
• Radio stations and streaming servers you choose to play.

4. Purchases

Purchases (the full version and the optional “beer” tip) are handled by Google Play. We do not see or store your payment details. Google informs the app only whether a purchase was made, so it can unlock the paid looks.

5. What we do not do

• No user accounts or sign-in.
• No advertising and no advertising identifiers.
• No analytics or tracking of your behaviour.
• No sale or sharing of personal data.

6. Children

The app is a general music player and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone.

7. This website

This website uses no cookies, no analytics and no third-party scripts, fonts or embeds. Like every web server, ours keeps standard access logs (IP address, time, requested page, browser type) for security and troubleshooting. They are kept for up to 30 days and then deleted.

8. Your rights

Because we do not store personal data about app users on our servers, there is normally nothing for us to access, correct or delete. If you write to us by e-mail, we use your message and address only to answer you. You may ask us to delete it, and you have the right to complain to your data-protection authority (in the Czech Republic: Úřad pro ochranu osobních údajů, uoou.gov.cz).

9. Changes

If the app starts to handle data differently, we will update this page and the date below before the change takes effect.
