Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how Memody ("the App", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use the Memody mobile application on Android or iOS. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.
Data We Collect
Data stored locally on your device
The App itself does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data to our servers. All melodies, recordings, voice calibration profiles, and settings you create within the App are stored locally on your device only and are never uploaded to any external server or cloud service. This includes:
- Melodies and MIDI files you have recorded
- Voice calibration profiles (frequency range, pitch offset, and vibrato characteristics derived from your voice during calibration)
- App settings and preferences (BPM, key, scale, and other configuration)
- Melody database (metadata about your saved melodies)
Device information
The App collects your device model name solely for display purposes within the optional DAW Sync feature. This information is used to identify your device on the local network and is never transmitted to external servers.
Local network information (DAW Sync feature)
When you explicitly enable the DAW Sync feature (available in Developer Mode), the App:
- Retrieves your device's local/private IP address to enable communication with your computer on the same Wi-Fi network
- Broadcasts your device model name and local IP address via mDNS (Bonjour/Zeroconf) on your local network so the companion VST plugin can discover your device
- Opens a local TCP connection to transfer MIDI data to your DAW
This network activity occurs only on your local network, only when you manually start the DAW Sync server, and no data is sent to the internet.
Data collected by third-party services
The App integrates the following third-party services:
