Privacy Policy

Last updated: 29/09/2026

1. Introduction

This policy describes how your data is handled when you use the Tunoova application.

The Application is self-hosted software: it is installed on a server operated by an independent operator, not by the software's author.

  • The software's author collects no data. The code, published under the PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0 license, sends no information to the author or to any central server.
  • The data controller for your data is the Operator of the instance on which the Application is hosted.

2. Data processed

Depending on the instance's configuration, the Application may process:

  • Personal audio files: files (MP3, etc.) that you import, stored on the Operator's server to allow them to be played.
  • Preferences and usage data: settings, favorites, playlists, and any listening history, stored locally on the instance or in your browser.
  • Account data (if the instance enables authentication): a login identifier and password, the latter stored in hashed form and never in plain text.
  • Technical logs: IP address, date and time, pages visited, browser type, and other technical information that may be generated by the server for operational and security purposes.

The Application does not request data unnecessary for its operation and performs no advertising profiling.

3. Purposes and legal basis

Data is processed to:

  • provide the audio playback features (performance of the service);
  • ensure the security and proper operation of the instance (legitimate interest);
  • remember your preferences (performance of the service / consent).

4. Third-party services

When you listen to a radio station, a podcast, or a piece of music, the Application may use third-party APIs or services.

On these occasions, technical information, in particular your IP address, may be communicated directly or indirectly to the third-party service provider, depending on how that service operates.

These exchanges are governed by the privacy policies specific to those third parties, over which neither the software's author nor the Operator has any control.

5. Cookies and local storage

The Application may use cookies or your browser's local storage (localStorage) to retain your preferences and, where applicable, your session.

This data may remain stored on your device and, depending on its nature, may be associated with data retained by the instance.

You can delete cookies and local storage data through your browser's settings.

6. Data sharing

The Application does not sell or share your data for commercial purposes.

No data is transmitted to third parties, except for:

  • the technical communications necessary with the third-party services described in Section 4;
  • transmissions that may be necessary for the Application to function;
  • any legal obligations to which the Operator may be subject.

7. Storage and security

Your data is stored on the server operated by the Operator.

The Operator implements reasonable measures to protect it against unauthorized access, loss, destruction, or alteration.

As no computer system is infallible, absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

8. Retention period

  • Files, preferences, and account data: retained for as long as you use the Application or until deleted by you or by the Operator.
  • Technical logs: retained for the period defined by the Operator, then deleted or anonymized.

9. Your rights

If the GDPR applies, you have, among others, the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection, and, where applicable, data portability.

To exercise your rights or obtain information about the processing of your data, contact the Operator at the address indicated in Section 12.

You may also lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in your country.

10. Minors

The Application is not intended for children under the age of digital consent applicable in your jurisdiction.

The Operator does not knowingly collect data relating to minors under this age.

11. Changes

This policy may be updated at any time.

The date of the last update appears at the top of this document.

12. Contact

For any question relating to the processing of your data or to exercise your rights, contact the Operator.
