Effective 14 October 2026
In short: Otis McLooper collects no personal data. There are no accounts, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. Nothing you do in McLooper is sent to us.
This policy covers the Otis McLooper app for iPhone and iPad, the Otis McLooper app for Mac, and the Ableton Live script it installs. They are made by Joe Bagale.
McLooper runs on your local network, between your phone or tablet and your own computer. The phone finds the computer on your Wi-Fi with Bonjour, which is why the app asks for Local Network access. Your controls go from the phone directly to the computer, and nothing passes through any server of ours.
A few things are saved on your own devices so that McLooper works:
On the phone or tablet: which computer you last connected to, and the computers your purchase has unlocked.
On the computer: when its free trial started, whether it has been unlocked, and a random ID that tells your computers apart. This ID is made up by McLooper and is not linked to you.
In your Music folder: take logs that record when each loop pass started, for use in your own music projects.
None of this leaves your devices, except as described under "Purchases".
Unlock Otis McLooper is an in-app purchase handled by Apple. Apple processes the payment under Apple's Privacy Policy, and we do not receive your name, email address or payment details.
To unlock a computer, the app sends that computer Apple's signed record of the purchase over your local network. The computer checks the record itself. The record contains a transaction number and the product, not your identity.
If you test McLooper through Apple's TestFlight, Apple may share crash reports and the feedback you choose to send with us, as described in TestFlight's own terms. We use these only to fix and improve McLooper.
If you email us, we use your message and address only to reply to you.
McLooper collects no data from anyone, including children.
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new effective date.
