Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 21, 2026

Playlyst (the "App") is provided by Studio Ink & Echo ("we," "us," or "our"). We respect the user’s privacy and are committed to keeping the information we collect to a minimum. This Policy explains the information the App collects and how it is handled.

Basic Policy

• ›Data in the App is, in principle, stored on the user’s device and is not transmitted to our servers.
• ›We do not engage in any advertising, behavioral tracking, or sale of data to third parties (nor do we use advertising identifiers such as IDFA or ATT tracking).
• ›The information we collect is limited to the minimum necessary to provide and improve the App.

Information We Collect & Purposes — 1. On-device information

Information you create or configure in the App—such as task names, notes, schedules, play history, lists, and various settings—is stored only on your device. If you use the App for free, this information is never sent to our servers.

2. Cloud Sync (Plus members; optional)

Only when a user subscribes to Plus (paid), logs in with an email address and password, and enables cloud sync are the tasks, lists, and play history described above stored on the cloud infrastructure we use (described below) and synced across multiple devices.

• ›Stored data is restricted by row-level security (RLS) so that only the logged-in user can access it.
• ›For authentication, we collect an email address and password (stored in hashed form).
• ›Purpose: backup and sync across multiple devices.

3. Anonymous usage statistics

To understand how the App is used, we anonymously record only the number of seconds played and the platform (e.g., iOS).

• ›This contains no information that identifies an individual user (name, email, device ID, etc.) and cannot be linked to you.
• ›Purpose: aggregating figures such as total usage time, to improve the service. This does not constitute tracking.

4. Crash & error information

To detect and fix problems with the App, we may collect crash and error reports through Sentry (described below).

• ›We operate with settings that do not send personally identifiable information (PII disabled; no session recording).
• ›Purpose: identifying and fixing bugs and issues.

5. Billing information

Purchase and management of paid subscriptions are handled through Apple’s App Store and RevenueCat (described below).

• ›We never receive payment information such as credit card numbers.
• ›We collect purchase status (such as whether you are subscribed) in order to unlock features.

Third-Party Services (Subprocessors)

The App uses the following services. Please also review each of their privacy policies.

• ›Supabase (authentication and database; storage for cloud sync data. Region: Tokyo)
• ›PowerSync (data sync between device and cloud)
• ›Sentry (crash and error detection)
• ›RevenueCat (subscription management)
• ›Apple (App Store) (app distribution and billing)

Data Storage Location & Retention

• ›Cloud sync data is stored on servers in the Tokyo region.
• ›Data is retained until the user deletes their account or uninstalls the App.

Data Deletion

• ›Deleting your account and synced data: You can completely delete your cloud account and synced data from within the App (Settings → Cloud Sync → Delete Account).
• ›Deleting on-device data: You can delete it by uninstalling the App or resetting from Settings.
• ›Note that, as the server administrator, the operator can technically access data, but will not view its contents for any purpose other than legitimate ones such as support.

Children’s Use

The App is not intended for children under 13 (or the age stipulated in your country of residence). Where applicable, please use it under the consent of a parent or guardian.

User Rights

Users may request the disclosure, correction, or deletion of their own information. Many of these can be handled through in-app features; if you have any questions, please contact us below.

Changes to This Policy

We may revise this Policy as necessary. In the event of significant changes, we will provide notice on the App or our website.
