Side B Legal

Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 30, 2026

Side B ("Side B", "the app", "we", or "us") is designed to help you save music albums to listen to later, mark albums as listened, view basic album metadata, create recaps, and optionally use Premium features.

Data Collection

Side B does not collect personal data, does not use advertising SDKs, and does not track users across apps or websites.

Local Library

Your saved albums, listened history, preferences, cached search results, cached artwork, and app settings are stored locally on your device.

Album Search And Artwork

When you search for albums or artists, your search terms may be sent to Apple Music through MusicKit to retrieve album metadata and artwork. Side B does not operate a backend that stores those searches.

Album artwork, artist names, album names, genres, release years, and platform links belong to their respective rights holders. Side B does not host or sell third-party music content.

Subscriptions

Premium purchases are processed by Apple through StoreKit. Subscription status is checked on-device using Apple transaction information. Subscription management, billing, cancellation, and refunds are handled by Apple.

iCloud Sync

If you use Premium iCloud Sync, your library backup is stored privately in your iCloud account. Side B does not operate a backend for this sync and does not have access to your iCloud data.

Backups And Exports

If you create a JSON backup from the app, the exported file may contain your saved albums and listened history. You control where that file is saved or shared.

Third-Party Services

Side B may open external music platforms such as Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube Music when you choose to open an album. Your use of those services is governed by their own privacy policies and terms.

Children's Privacy

Side B is not designed to knowingly collect personal data from children.

Changes To This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the app changes. The latest version will be available at this URL.
