Data We Collect

Anonymous Device Identifier

When you use Lofiest, we generate a random identifier on your device. It is not tied to your name, email, phone number, or any personal information. It lets us count unique users and understand how the app is used, without identifying you. You can reset it by clearing the app's data (Android) or reinstalling the app (iOS).

Approximate Geographic Region (Country)

We detect the country you're connecting from using your IP address. We only store the country code (for example, "US" or "TR"), not your IP address or precise location.

Usage Analytics

We use Firebase Analytics to understand how people use the app - which features are popular, how often tracks are played, and whether people find what they're looking for. Tracked events include app sessions, track plays, skips, ambient sound activations, Pomodoro sessions, subscription events, and whether ads are shown or dismissed. None of these events contain personal information. Firebase Analytics is a Google service and follows Google's data practices.

On our own server, we also collect anonymous usage data:

• Track play counts - how many times tracks are played (not what you specifically listen to)
• Daily/hourly request patterns - helps us understand peak usage times
• Error logs - when something goes wrong, we log the error type (not your data)

Ad-Related Data

We serve ads through Google AdMob. If you consent to personalized ads (users in the European Economic Area, UK, and Switzerland are asked explicitly), AdMob may use limited data about your device to show more relevant ads. If you don't consent, you'll still see ads, but they won't be personalized. You can change your consent at any time via Settings → Ad Privacy.

Subscription Information

If you subscribe to Go Ad-Free, we use RevenueCat to verify your subscription. Payment is processed by the store you installed from - Google Play on Android or the Apple App Store on iPhone. We never see or store your payment details.

Information We Do NOT Collect

We want to be crystal clear about what we never collect:

• Your name, email, or any contact information
• Your precise location or GPS data
• Your contacts, photos, or files
• Your browsing history or app usage outside Lofiest
• Any biometric data
• Payment or financial information - payments are processed by Google Play or the Apple App Store. We never receive your card number or billing details.

Third-Party Services

Google AdMob

The mobile app displays advertisements through Google AdMob. If you consent to personalized ads, AdMob may use limited device data. Users in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland are asked for explicit consent. AdMob Privacy Policy

Firebase Analytics (Google)

We use Firebase Analytics to track anonymous usage analytics - app sessions, feature usage, and performance. No personally identifiable information is collected. Firebase Privacy Policy

RevenueCat

We use RevenueCat to manage subscription status for the Go Ad-Free plan across both the Apple App Store and Google Play. RevenueCat may collect a pseudonymous app user ID, purchase history, and subscription status. No personally identifiable information is shared with RevenueCat. RevenueCat Privacy Policy

MaxMind GeoLite2

We use MaxMind's GeoLite2 database to look up your country from your IP address. This lookup happens entirely on our server - no data about our users is shared with MaxMind.

OtakuGifs API

We use OtakuGifs to display anime GIFs. See the OtakuGifs Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

App Store & Play Billing

Subscription payments are processed entirely by Apple (on iPhone) or Google Play (on Android). We do not receive or store your payment details. Their handling of payment data is governed by Apple's Privacy Policy and Google's Privacy Policy.

How We Use Your Data

• Operate the service - stream music, display content
• Improve the app - understand usage patterns, fix bugs
• Prevent abuse - rate limiting, blocking malicious requests
• Generate statistics - anonymous, aggregated data only

Storage, Retention & Security

• Data is stored on secure servers, with HTTPS encryption for all transmission
• Access to data is restricted to the developer only
• We do not share your data with third parties (except as required by law)
• We retain only anonymized usage statistics - there is no personal information to delete

Reset the random device identifier any time by reinstalling the app or clearing its data. Subscription status (ad-free entitlement) is stored via RevenueCat to verify your plan.

Your Rights

• Reset your anonymous identifier any time by clearing app data (Android) or reinstalling (iOS).
• Opt out of personalized ads via Settings → Ad Privacy (available to users in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland).
• Cancel your subscription via Google Play → Subscriptions (Android) or Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions (iPhone).
• Request data deletion by contacting us at contact@mhmd.io. Because we don't store personal identifiers, the main thing we can delete is any server-side record associated with your anonymous identifier (if you share it with us).

Children's Privacy & Changes

Lofiest is a general-audience app. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 - and since we don't collect personal information from any users, this naturally extends to children.

When we make material changes to this policy, we'll update the date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. For general terms, see our Terms of Use.
