Effective: August 25, 2026
Charcoal Player collects no data.
There are no ads, no analytics, and no third-party tracking SDKs. The app runs completely on your Mac.
Your audio files, library, folder permissions (security-scoped bookmarks), playback positions, loops, and settings are stored only on your device and are never sent to the developer.
The sound-separation feature downloads its on-device processing models (with your consent) via an anonymous HTTPS GET from the developer's content host. No account, cookies, or identifiers are sent, and the host stores no request logs. Downloads are integrity-checked (SHA-256) and used only on your device.
The free export counter (3 exports per rolling 24 hours) is stored on your device and, if you are signed in to iCloud, synced between your own Macs via Apple’s iCloud Key-Value storage. This data consists only of export timestamps, lives in your personal iCloud account, never passes through a developer server, and cannot be read by the developer. If library sync is added in a future version, it will use your own iCloud in the same way.
Unlimited exports can be purchased either as a one-time, non-consumable Lifetime purchase or as an auto-renewing Monthly or Yearly subscription. All purchases are handled entirely by Apple through the App Store and StoreKit; prices are shown before purchase in your local currency and billed to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed in System Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions. The developer never receives or stores your payment details. Eligibility for existing users (the 2017 app or any earlier version) is verified on your device from the App Store receipt — no purchase information is ever sent to the developer.
Because nothing is collected, there is nothing to share, sell, or disclose to third parties.
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted in this repository with a new effective date. Questions: contact the developer via the App Store product page for Charcoal Player.
