Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 7, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Youtify – Music & Playlists ("Youtify", "we", "our" or "us") handles information when you use the Youtify mobile app (the "App").
1. Information stored on your device
Youtify does not require you to create an account. Your library is stored locally on your device. This includes favorites, playlists you create or import, listening history, play statistics, followed artists, settings, cached lyrics and artwork, and the optional display name you enter in the App. We do not upload this data to our servers. It stays on your device until you delete it, clear the App's data or uninstall the App. If you use the App's backup feature, the backup file is saved to a location you choose.
2. Information processed by service providers
We use the following third-party services. Each processes information under its own privacy policy.
Google Firebase (Google Analytics for Firebase, Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore). The App signs in anonymously, which creates a random identifier that is not linked to your name or email. Firebase may also process device and app information, approximate location derived from your IP address, and App usage events such as screens viewed and interactions with features. Cloud Firestore is used to deliver curated content to the App.
Google AdMob, which displays and measures ads. The Google Mobile Ads SDK may process your IP address, device identifiers, advertising data, ad interactions and diagnostic information.
RevenueCat, which manages in-app purchases and subscriptions. RevenueCat processes purchase and subscription status together with an anonymous app user identifier.
Apple, which processes all payments through the App Store. We never receive your payment card details.

3. Content services
Youtify displays music, artwork and related information provided by third-party content services, including YouTube. When you browse, search or play content, the App sends requests directly from your device to these services. Those requests include what you asked for, such as a search term or track, and standard technical information such as your IP address. Content from YouTube is provided by Google and processed under the Google Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy). Lyrics are provided by LRCLIB. Youtify does not host or store this content on its own servers.
4. Advertising, tracking and consent
On iOS, Youtify uses Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework to ask your permission before your device's advertising identifier is used for tracking. You can change this at any time in your device Settings (Privacy & Security > Tracking). Where required by law, for example in the EEA and UK, the App shows a consent form before personalized ads are served. If you do not give consent, you may still see non-personalized ads. Premium subscribers do not see ads in the App.
5. Device permissions
Youtify asks for these permissions only when you use the related feature:
Media Library: to show and play music that is already on your device. Your library is read on your device and is not uploaded.
Microphone and Speech Recognition: for voice search on CarPlay. Listening starts only after you tap the voice search button. Speech is converted to text by Apple's speech recognition, on your device where supported, otherwise by Apple. Youtify does not record or store your voice.
Siri: to search and play music with your voice. Siri requests are processed by Apple.
Photos and Files: to read a single file you choose when importing a playlist or restoring a backup.
6. How we use information
We use information to provide and improve the App, remember your preferences, understand how features are used, fix problems, show and measure ads, manage purchases, and respond to your messages.
7. Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. Information is shared only with the service providers described above, as needed to operate the App, or when required by law.
8. Data retention
Data on your device remains until you delete it or uninstall the App. Service providers keep data according to their own retention policies. If you contact us, we keep your message for as long as needed to respond to you and to keep appropriate records.
9. Your choices and rights
You can delete local data at any time in the App or by uninstalling it. You can manage tracking and ad preferences in your device Settings. Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information. Contact us using the details below. Because Youtify has no user accounts, we generally do not hold data that identifies you personally.
10. Children
Youtify is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
11. Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information under our control. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above.
