This policy explains how Music 7 (package siva.app.musicplayer7free),
an Android music player developed by Siva Nimmala ("we", "us"), handles information.
In short: your music library stays on your phone, we run no servers of our own and no
analytics, and we never sell your data. The free version shows ads from Google AdMob,
which is the main way data leaves your device; Premium subscribers see no ads.
1. Information that stays on your device
- Your music library. With the "Music and audio" (or storage) permission, Music 7 reads the audio files on your device and their tags (title, artist, album, artwork, duration, folder) to build your library. This is processed only on your device and is never uploaded.
- Your app data. Favourites, playlists, recently played and recently added lists, playback position, equalizer settings, theme, language and other preferences are stored in the app's private storage on your device.
- Microphone permission. Android requires the "Record audio" permission for the audio visualizer to read the sound the app is playing. Music 7 does not record, store or send any audio from your microphone. The permission is only requested when you open the visualizer.
- Notifications. Used only to show playback controls while music plays.
Uninstalling the app or clearing its data in Android settings deletes all of this information.
2. Online features and the services they contact
Some features need the internet. When you use them, your device connects directly to the service listed, which receives your IP address and the details of the request, under its own privacy policy. We do not receive or store any of this.
| Feature | Service | What is sent |
|---|---|---|
| Discover – top charts, previews, artwork | Apple (rss.marketingtools.apple.com, itunes.apple.com) | The country you are exploring (taken from your device region or your choice) and search terms |
| Discover – trending tracks | Audius (api.audius.co) | The genre you picked and stream requests |
| Discover – live radio | Radio Browser community directory (*.api.radio-browser.info) and the radio stations you play | The country or mood you picked, and stream requests to the station |
| Online Music (Jellyfin) | Only the Jellyfin server you choose to connect | Your server address, username and password are sent only to that server. Music 7 keeps the server address and an access token on your device, encrypted with an Android Keystore key. Your password is never stored. |
3. Advertising (free version)
The free version of Music 7 shows banner and occasional full-screen ads provided by Google AdMob. To show and measure ads and prevent fraud, the Google Mobile Ads SDK collects and shares with Google and its ad partners:
- Device identifiers, including the Android advertising ID (where permitted) and app set ID
- IP address and approximate location derived from it
- Device and app information (model, OS version, language, app version)
- Ad interactions, such as ad views and taps, and diagnostic information
Depending on your consent choices, ads may be personalised. If you are in the European Economic Area, the UK or Switzerland, Music 7 asks for your consent through Google's consent message before any ads are requested, and you can change your choice any time in Settings → Ad privacy choices. Elsewhere, you can reset or delete your advertising ID or opt out of personalised ads in your device's Google settings. Ads are muted and are never shown on the player screen.

4. Music 7 Premium (subscriptions)
Premium is sold through Google Play Billing. Google processes your payment; we never see your payment card or billing details. The app receives only a purchase confirmation (product, plan, purchase state and a purchase token) from Google Play to unlock Premium, and remembers on your device that you are a subscriber. Premium removes all ads, after which the AdMob SDK requests no ads. See the Terms of Use for subscription details and Google Payments Privacy Notice.
5. Contacting us
If you send feedback or report an issue from the About screen, your email app opens a message to us. We receive only what you choose to send (your email address and message) and use it solely to reply.
6. What we do not do
- No user accounts, sign-in or profiles.
- No analytics, crash reporting or tracking SDKs other than Google AdMob described above.
- We do not sell personal data, and we do not upload your music, playlists or listening history.
7. Data security and retention
Connections to online services use HTTPS where the service supports it (some radio streams and self-hosted Jellyfin servers may use plain HTTP, which you control). Data stored by the app stays on your device until you delete it or uninstall the app. Data collected by Google for ads is retained under Google's policies.
8. Children
Music 7 is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a minor, please ask a parent or guardian before buying a subscription.
9. Your choices and rights
- Deny or revoke permissions at any time in Android settings; the related features stop working.
- Change ad consent in Settings → Ad privacy choices (EEA/UK/Switzerland) or your device's ad settings, or remove ads entirely with Premium.
- Delete all app data by clearing the app's storage or uninstalling it.
- Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or India's DPDP Act), you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data. Because we hold no personal data on our own servers, most requests are handled by the services above; contact us and we will help.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the app changes. The effective date above shows the latest version; significant changes will be noted in the app's release notes.
