Summary
Orphic DJ does not collect, transmit, store, or share any personal information. The app runs entirely on your device. It does not connect to the internet, does not contact any servers, and contains no analytics, advertising, tracking, or crash-reporting SDKs.
About the developer
Orphic DJ is developed and published as an independent project under the Orphic FM banner. Questions about this policy can be sent to orphic.fm.apps@gmail.com.
What data the app accesses
The app does not collect or transmit any of the following:
- Personal information (name, email, phone, location, etc.)
- Device identifiers (advertising ID, IMEI, MAC, etc.)
- Usage analytics or telemetry
- Crash logs or diagnostics
The only state Orphic DJ persists is your app preferences (selected vibe, panel knob positions, timer settings). These are stored locally on your device via Android’s standard preferences APIs and never leave the device.
Permissions used
Orphic DJ requests the following Android permissions. Each is used solely for the purpose described — none enables data collection.
| Permission | Why it is requested |
|---|---|
MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS |
Required by Android’s audio framework so the app can configure the output sample rate and buffer size for low-latency playback. |
FOREGROUND_SERVICE and FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK |
Allow the app to keep generating audio while the screen is off or another app is in the foreground, the same way music players continue playback in the background. |
POST_NOTIFICATIONS |
Used to display the standard “now playing” media notification with play/pause/skip controls. The notification is dismissed when playback stops. |
The app does not request INTERNET, ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,
READ_CONTACTS, READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, or any other sensitive permission.
Android Auto
Orphic DJ supports Android Auto. When connected to a compatible vehicle infotainment system, the app exposes:
- The list of available “vibes” (preset names and BPM)
- Standard media playback controls (play, pause, skip, stop)
- Currently-playing track title, subtitle, and album artwork
This information is passed to the Android Auto operating system on the vehicle’s head unit only for display and playback control. Orphic DJ does not send any data to Google, the vehicle manufacturer, or any third party.
Children’s privacy
Orphic DJ is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. Because the app does not collect any information at all, no information is collected from children.
