Privacy Policy

Last updated: 13 October 2026

sPlayer does not collect, store or transmit any personal information. There is no account to create, no analytics, no advertising and no third-party tracking code in the app. Your music library stays on your device.

The short version. sPlayer plays audio files that you put on your own iPhone. Nothing about you, your library or your listening habits is sent to the developer or to anyone else.

Information we collect

None. The developer of sPlayer receives no data from the app whatsoever — no identifiers, no usage statistics, no crash telemetry, no contact details. The app contains no analytics or advertising SDKs.

Information stored on your device

To work at all, sPlayer keeps some information locally on your iPhone. This data never leaves the device and is removed when you delete the app:

Your audio files and any lyrics files you add, in the app's own sPlayer folder, which is where the Files app shows it.
Playlists you create, and the playlists generated automatically from your folders.
Cached cover art extracted from your own audio files, so lists load quickly.
Playback state — the current queue and position, so playback can resume where you left off.
Your settings, such as language, lyrics options and repeat or shuffle mode.

Permissions the app asks for

Media & Apple Music library (optional)

If you allow it, sPlayer can also show and play songs from the music library already on your iPhone. This is read on-device only, purely to display and play your music. Nothing is uploaded anywhere. If you decline, sPlayer still works fully with the files you add yourself.

Local network (optional)

The Wi-Fi File Transfer feature runs a small web server on your iPhone so you can manage your music from a browser on the same network. iOS asks for Local Network permission the first time you use it. The server runs only while you switch it on, is reachable only from your local network, and never sends anything to the internet.

A note on security. The transfer server uses plain HTTP and has no password, because it is designed for a home network and a short transfer session. Anyone else on the same Wi-Fi network could reach it while it is running. Please use it only on networks you trust, and switch it off when you are finished.

Siri (optional)

If you use Siri to start playback, iOS passes your request to sPlayer so it can find the right song in your library. That matching happens on your device. Siri itself is an Apple service and is governed by Apple's privacy policy.

Network connections

sPlayer makes no internet connections at all. There is exactly one feature that uses a network, and it is optional:

Wi-Fi File Transfer — a local-network-only server, described above. It runs only while you switch it on, and it does not reach the internet.

Lyrics are read only from files you place next to your music. sPlayer does not fetch them, or anything else, from the internet.

Purchases

sPlayer Pro is a one-time in-app purchase. It is processed entirely by Apple: payment happens through your Apple ID, and the developer never sees your payment details, billing address or Apple ID.

Whether you own Pro is stored on your device and checked against the App Store. The developer receives only Apple's aggregated sales reports, which identify no one. Restoring a purchase on a new device, and Family Sharing, are handled by Apple in the same way.

Children's privacy

sPlayer is a general-audience app that collects no data from anyone, including children. It contains no advertising, no tracking and no social features.

Data retention and deletion

Because no data is collected, there is nothing for the developer to retain or delete. Everything sPlayer stores lives on your iPhone, and deleting the app removes all of it. You can also remove individual songs and folders at any time from within the app or through the Files app.

Changes to this policy

If this policy ever changes, the revised version will be posted on this page with an updated date. Material changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
