Spoolhum privacy policy

Last updated November 7, 2026. This policy covers the Android app Spoolhum: Music Player (com.tinyfair.spoolhum) published by Tinyfair on Google Play.

The short version

The app works on your phone. We do not have accounts or servers, and we never receive your music files, song titles, playlists or personal details. Spoolhum does not stream music. Data leaves your phone only for ads, purchases, crash reports and anonymous usage statistics (Google), and for a small settings file the app downloads from our website, as described below.

Data that stays on your phone

Your music files: The app reads song details and cover art from Android's media library to list and play your files. Files are never uploaded, copied to us or changed.
Playlists and settings: Your playlists, favourites, play counts and settings are saved in the app on your phone.
Purchases: Handled by Google Play; we never see your payment details.

Settings file from tinyfair.my.id

When it starts, the app downloads a small settings file from https://tinyfair.my.id/config/spoolhum.json (the minimum app version and which ad formats may appear). The request sends no personal data and no identifier. Like any web request, our web host sees your IP address in its standard server logs; we do not use it to identify you or link it to anything else. Android Auto Backup may include the app's playlists and settings (not your music files) in your Google account backup if you have it turned on.

Ads (Google AdMob)

The free version shows ads from Google AdMob: banner and small native ads in the library lists and in settings, sometimes a full-screen ad when you move between big sections of the app (never when a song starts, never in your first session, and muted while music plays), and a video ad only when you choose to watch one for 24 hours of Pro. There are no ads on the player device screen, in the media notification, on the lock screen, in the widget, or while the app is in the background, and no ad when the app opens. Ad content is limited to no higher than the PG rating, and dating, social casino and similar ads are blocked. To show and measure ads, Google may collect your device's advertising ID, an approximate location from your IP address, information about ad interactions, and diagnostics. Your music and playlists are never passed to the ad SDK. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland the app asks for your consent first, and you can change it later under Settings, Privacy choices. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your Android settings. See how Google uses information from apps that use its services. Pro removes all ads.

Crash reports (Firebase Crashlytics)

If the app crashes or hits a serious error, it sends a crash report to Firebase Crashlytics, a Google service that helps us find and fix the bug. A report contains the error and where it happened in the code, the app version, the device model, the Android version, and a random installation ID that is not linked to you, your Google account or your advertising ID. It never contains your music files, song titles, playlists or anything that identifies you. Reports are kept for 90 days. See Firebase privacy and security.

Usage statistics (Google Analytics for Firebase)

To learn which features people use and where the app can be better, the app sends a few usage events to Google Analytics for Firebase, such as that the first song of a session started, a playlist was made, a device look was changed, the library loaded (with a rough size such as 50 to 499 songs), or the Pro offer was shown or Pro was bought. Events never contain song titles, artists, albums, folder names, playlist names or anything you type. Firebase adds the app version, device model, Android version, country, a random app instance ID and, when ad consent allows it, your advertising ID. Collection follows your choice (Google Consent Mode). We do not use Google signals, we do not send a user ID, and we do not sell this data. In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, statistics are only collected if you allow it in the consent form (Settings, Privacy choices lets you change this). Data is kept for 14 months. See Firebase privacy and security.

Purchases (Google Play)

Pro is sold through Google Play Billing, as a yearly subscription with a 7 day free trial (you can cancel it anytime in Google Play) or a one-time purchase. We do not see your payment details; Google Play tells the app only whether Pro is active.

Permissions

Music and audio (READ_MEDIA_AUDIO; storage read on Android 12 and older), to list and play the audio files on your phone; no photos, videos or other files are read. While music plays, the app runs a media playback foreground service and keeps the processor awake so playback continues with the screen off; it stops when you stop the music. Notifications are used for the media controls. Vibration for the dial. No location, camera, microphone, contacts or all-files permission: playlist and backup files use the Android file picker. Google's ad and purchase libraries add the advertising ID, network state and billing permissions. Internet is used for ads, purchases, crash reports, usage statistics and the settings file described above, never for your music.

Children

The app is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Your choices and deleting data

Spoolhum has no account and keeps no data on our side. To delete everything Spoolhum stores (your playlists, favourites, play counts, cover cache and settings), uninstall the app or clear its storage in Android settings (Apps, Spoolhum, Storage). Your music files are not touched. Backup and playlist files you saved yourself stay where you put them until you delete them. If you use Android backup, Android may include this app data in your Google account backup. For ad and statistics data, use Settings, Privacy choices in the app or your Android advertising ID settings. Questions: support@tinyfair.my.id.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date. Questions: support@tinyfair.my.id.
