Privacy Policy for Movana
Effective Date: July 10, 2026
Last Updated: July 10, 2026
Movana ("Movana," "we," "us," or "our") is an offline music player application for iOS (the "App"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use the App.
Movana allows users to import, organize, edit, and play music files stored locally on their own devices. We do not provide music downloads, and we do not upload, host, or share users' music files on our servers.
1. Introduction
We are committed to protecting your privacy and minimizing data collection. By default, Movana does not require user account registration and does not intentionally collect personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, phone number, or mailing address.
This Privacy Policy is intended to support compliance with applicable privacy laws and Apple App Store requirements, including Apple App Store Review Guideline 5.1 relating to privacy and data transparency.
2. Information We Collect
Information Processed on Your Device
To provide the App's core functionality, Movana may process the following information locally on your device:
- Music files you choose to import into the App
- Song metadata, such as title, artist, album, genre, and artwork
- Playlists you create and manage
- Metadata edits you make within the App
- App settings and playback preferences
This information is used only within the App to support playback, library management, playlist creation, and local metadata editing.
Information We Do Not Collect by Default
By default, we do not collect, store, or upload to our servers:
- Your name or direct contact details
- Account credentials
- Contacts or address book data
- Photos or unrelated media
- Precise location data
- Your music files
- Your playlist contents on our servers
Device Access
The App requests only the access reasonably necessary to support its core music playback and management features. The App is not intended to access unrelated personal data such as contacts, calendars, or photos unless a future feature specifically requires it and additional notice is provided.
Google Drive Access
If you choose to import music from Google Drive, the App requests Google Drive permission solely to read, import, and play the local music files that you specifically select. We do not use this permission for any unrelated purpose, and we will never upload your selected music files or personal content to any third-party servers as part of this feature.
Firebase Analytics and Crash Reporting
Movana currently uses Firebase services, including Firebase Analytics and/or Firebase Crashlytics, to collect limited technical and diagnostic information, such as:
- App version
- Device model
- iOS version
- General app usage events
- Crash logs
- Performance diagnostics
This information is used solely to improve app stability, performance, and user experience. Firebase services do not change the fact that Movana does not upload or host your music files for playback, storage, or sharing.
3. How We Use Information
We use information only to:
- Provide offline music playback
- Enable importing and managing local music files
- Support playlist creation and management
- Support local editing of song metadata
- Save preferences and settings on your device
- Maintain app functionality, security, and reliability
- Diagnose crashes and improve performance through Firebase services
We do not sell personal information. We do not use your music files for advertising, profiling, or content-sharing purposes.
4. Data Storage and Security
Local Storage
Movana is designed so that music files, playlists, metadata edits, and most settings are stored locally on your device.
No Music Uploading
We do not upload, host, or share your music files through our servers.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information handled by the App. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Retention
Because most information is stored locally on your device, it remains there until you delete it, remove it from the App, clear app data, or uninstall the App.
Diagnostic data collected through Firebase may be retained by the applicable service provider according to its own retention practices.
5. Third-Party Services
Apple
If you download or use Movana through the Apple App Store, Apple may process certain information under its own terms and privacy policy. Apple's handling of such information is governed by Apple's own policies.
Firebase
Movana uses Firebase services such as Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics to help us understand app performance and fix technical issues.

Future Features
Movana does not currently use user music files for advertising, subscription management, or cloud hosting. If future versions introduce subscriptions, advertising-related features, or additional data processing, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide any required disclosures.
6. User Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable privacy laws, including rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability of personal information we control.
Because Movana generally does not maintain user accounts or centrally store personal data by default, our ability to respond to certain requests may be limited unless you provide enough information for us to process your request.
If you wish to make a privacy request related to Firebase-collected technical or diagnostic data, you may contact us using the details below.
7. Children's Privacy
Movana is not directed to children under 13, or any higher minimum age required by applicable law. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the App, legal requirements, or our privacy practices. We will update the "Last Updated" date when changes are made.
