Privacy Policy
Ryvimo is an Android music player for your local audio library. This policy covers the first, local-first release and explains information the app uses, information sent when you use available online features, and the choices available to you.
Music and information on your device
With your permission, Ryvimo reads audio files and their metadata, such as titles, artists, albums, genres, file locations and artwork, to build and play your music library. The app stores library records, playlists, favourites, playback history and listening statistics, settings, downloaded artwork and lyrics, and other feature caches on your device. Metadata editing can change audio files when you authorise access.
Local audio playback does not require a music-service account. The app also contains online artwork, lyrics and app-information features; using local playback does not mean that every feature in the app operates offline.
Online artwork and lyrics
Artwork and lyrics lookups can send artist names, song titles, album names and other search metadata to external services, including Deezer and LRCLIB. Artist images may be requested automatically when library artists or the currently playing artist are displayed. Lyrics may be retrieved automatically when available local lyrics are not found, or through a search you initiate. Those services receive the network information normally included in an internet request, such as your IP address, and handle requests under their own privacy policies. Returned artwork and lyrics may be cached on your device.
Online app information, contributor profiles and announcements may be loaded from GitHub and related image hosts. Opening an external website or support link connects you to that destination, which receives normal web-request information and may use its own cookies or storage.
Features unavailable in this release
AI tools, external-account sign-in, remote-library integrations and phone-to-watch audio transfers are unavailable in this first release. Ryvimo does not offer AI-provider configuration, connected-service authentication or remote music-library connections in this release. If these features are introduced in a future version, this policy will be updated to describe their information practices.
Casting, nearby devices and Wear OS
If you use casting, nearby-device features or a connected watch, Ryvimo exchanges the information needed for discovery, playback control or media display. Phone-to-watch audio transfers are disabled in this release. This may include device connection information, music metadata, playback state and audio files. Only use these features with devices and networks you trust.
Android permissions
Ryvimo requests permissions for the features you use. These can include audio-library and image access; notifications and background media playback; Bluetooth, nearby Wi-Fi and legacy location access for device discovery; and optional system settings, battery or alarm access for related playback features. You can review or revoke permissions in Android Settings. A feature may stop working when its permission is denied.
Backups, exports and diagnostics
Files you export or back up can contain your library information, playlists, settings and other selected app data. You control where those files are saved or shared. Android may also back up eligible app data according to your device settings. Review the selected contents and protect backup files before saving or sharing them.
If you contact support or share a diagnostic report, PRIMESOFT INTERNATIONAL receives the information you provide, such as your email address, message, device details or attached logs. Review logs and attachments before sending them and remove information you do not want to disclose.
Retention and deletion
Local app information is retained while needed for the features you use, until replaced, cleared through available app controls, or removed by clearing Ryvimo's app storage or uninstalling it. Exported files, media saved outside the app and device or cloud backups may remain and must be removed separately. Information already received by an external service through online lookups or other available network features is subject to that service's retention and deletion procedures.
For information you have sent directly to Ryvimo support, contact primesoftintel@gmail.com to request access, correction or deletion. Include enough detail to identify your request without sending sensitive credentials.
Security
Information is handled using the app's storage and network protections and those of the external services used by available features. Local casting transfers can use unencrypted HTTP; data on those connections may be visible to others with network access. Use trusted networks and devices for local transfers. No device storage, transmission or third-party service can be guaranteed completely secure. Protect your device and any exported files.
Children
Ryvimo is a general-purpose music player and is not designed to solicit personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information directly to Ryvimo support, contact us so we can review and address the request.
Changes and contact
This policy may be updated when the app or its information practices change. The effective date above identifies this version. For questions about Ryvimo or this policy, contact PRIMESOFT INTERNATIONAL at primesoftintel@gmail.com.
