This Privacy Policy describes how Mixtube Pro-LyricLoop ("we", "us", "our", or "the App"), collects, uses, and shares information about you when you use our mobile application Mixtube Pro-LyricLoop (the "Service").

## 1. Information We Collect
### 1.1 Information You Provide Directly
We do not require account registration. However, you may optionally provide:
- **Last.fm credentials** — only if you choose to enable Last.fm scrobbling. The authentication is performed through Last.fm's own browser-based login. We store only the resulting session token on your device — we never see or store your Last.fm password.
- **Search queries** — stored locally on your device to power search history and suggestions.
### 1.2 Information Stored Locally on Your Device
The following information is stored **only on your device** and never transmitted to our servers:
-Your music library scan results (file paths, metadata such as title, artist, album, duration)
- Playlists you create, including "Liked" songs
- Listening history (which tracks you played and when)
- Search history
- Songs you've saved for offline playback
- App preferences (theme, equalizer settings, crossfade duration, language, etc.)
You can clear all locally stored data at any time by clearing the app's data through Android Settings.
### 1.3 Information Automatically Collected by Third-Party Services
When you use Mixtube Pro-LyricLoop Music, the following information may be collected by integrated third-party services (see Section 4 for details):
- **Advertising ID (Android AAID)** — used by ad networks for ad personalization and fraud prevention.
- **IP address** — used to approximate your country and serve relevant ads.
- **Device information** — device model, OS version, language, screen size, mobile carrier, network type.
- **App interaction events** — which ads you viewed, clicked, or dismissed.
- **Approximate country** — derived from your IP via third-party country-lookup services (ip-api.com, ipwho.is, ipapi.co, api.country.is) to set a default content region.
We do not collect your precise location, contacts, calendar, photos, microphone audio, or any other sensitive personal information.
