Privacy, in plain language.
Playstate is a small Mac utility. It collects only what is needed to sell, support, and validate the app.
App playback data
Playstate reads supported playback information from Music.app and speakers on your local network. Your audio does not pass through Playstate’s servers. Track information is sent to Last.fm only when you connect a Last.fm account and enable scrobbling. Artwork lookup may send track and album search terms to Apple.
License data
Purchases are processed by Stripe. Playstate stores the purchaser name, email address, payment reference, license identifier, issue date, and license status. The app may periodically send its license identifier—not your music history—to playstateapp.com to check whether that license remains valid.
Website data
The site may receive standard server request information used for security and reliability. Playstate does not require a marketing account. We do not sell personal information.
Retention and deletion
Purchase and license records are kept as needed for receipts, fraud prevention, tax, support, and legal obligations. Email privacy@playstateapp.com to request access, correction, or deletion where applicable.
Third parties
Cloudflare hosts the site and license service. Stripe processes payments. Last.fm and Apple receive data only as described above when their respective features are used. Their own privacy terms apply.
