Privacy Policy for Vinyx: DJ Mixer & Drum Machine

Last updated: 2026-11-02

This Privacy Policy explains how Vinyx: DJ Mixer & Drum Machine ("Vinyx", "the app") handles information. Vinyx is an Android app published by Hugo Software ("we", "us", "our"). Package ID: com.hugosoftware.vinyx. Website: https://vinyx.hugosoftware.net

In short: Vinyx does not collect personal data. It has no accounts, no ads, no analytics, no crash-reporting or tracking tools, and no backend server. Your music, drum patterns, settings and recordings stay on your device.

1. Information We Collect

We do not collect, store or receive personal data on our servers. We operate no servers for the app.

The app works with the following data, all of which stays on your device:

  • Your music files. With your permission, Vinyx lists audio files on your device (via Android MediaStore) or files you pick yourself, so you can play and mix them. Files are read locally and never uploaded.
  • Music library index. A local index of the tracks shown in the app, kept in app-private storage.
  • Drum patterns and settings. Your step-sequencer patterns, kit choices and preferences, stored locally.
  • Recordings. Live mixes you record are saved as WAV files on your device, with optional M4A export. Exported files go to shared storage through MediaStore or the Android share sheet, and you control them.

We do not collect your name, email address, location, contacts, advertising ID, device identifiers or usage analytics.

2. Permissions and Why the App Uses Them

  • READ_MEDIA_AUDIO (Android 13+) or READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (older versions): only to list and play your own music files.
  • WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (older Android versions only): only to save exported mixes.
  • FOREGROUND_SERVICE, FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK and WAKE_LOCK: so playback and recording continue when the screen is off.
  • POST_NOTIFICATIONS: to show a media notification with stop/pause controls.
  • INTERNET and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: used only for Google Play Billing (subscriptions).

Vinyx does not request access to your microphone, camera, location, contacts or phone identity.

3. Third-Party Services

The only third-party service in Vinyx is Google Play Billing (Google LLC), which processes subscription purchases.

  • Payments are handled entirely by Google Play. The app never sees your card or payment details.
  • The app receives only purchase status and receipts from Google Play to unlock Vinyx Pro.
  • Google processes your data under Google's Privacy Policy.

Vinyx contains no advertising SDKs, analytics SDKs, crash-reporting SDKs or social/tracking tools.

4. Subscriptions

Access to Vinyx requires a Vinyx Pro subscription, which renews automatically until cancelled. Plans are weekly, monthly or yearly, with no free trial. Prices are shown in the app and on Google Play in your local currency.

You can cancel at any time in Google Play > Payments & subscriptions. Refunds follow Google Play's refund policy. Billing and payment information is managed by Google, not by us.

5. How We Use Information

Because we do not collect personal data, we do not use it for profiling, advertising, analytics or any other purpose. Data on your device is used only to provide the app's features: playing and mixing your music, drum sequencing, recording and exporting, and verifying your subscription status.

6. Sharing and Selling of Data

We do not sell, rent or share your data, and we do not use it for tracking or targeted advertising. Under the CCPA/CPRA we have not sold or shared personal information in the past 12 months.

When you share or export a recording through the Android share sheet, you choose the destination app or location. That sharing is your own action and is governed by the policies of the app or service you select.

7. Your Music and Recordings

You are responsible for having the necessary rights to the music you mix and to any recordings you share or publish. Vinyx does not upload, review or monitor your content.

8. Data Retention and Deletion

  • Data in the app (library index, patterns, settings, in-app recordings) stays on your device until you delete it, uninstall the app or clear its storage.
  • Uninstalling the app or clearing its storage deletes all app data on the device.
  • Recordings exported to shared storage remain under your control. Delete them with your phone's file manager.
  • We hold no data on our servers, so there is nothing for us to delete on our side.
  • Purchase records are kept by Google under its own policies.

9. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal data, including under the GDPR/UK GDPR (access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, and the right to complain to a supervisory authority), the CCPA/CPRA (know, delete, correct, opt out of sale/sharing, and non-discrimination), and Turkey's KVKK (Law No. 6698: information, access, correction, deletion and objection).

Since Vinyx does not collect or hold personal data about you, these rights are satisfied by design: there is no data on our side to access, correct, delete or port. You can erase everything the app stores by uninstalling it or clearing its storage. For data connected to your subscription, contact Google through your Google account. You can also write to us at [email protected] with any question or request.

10. Children's Privacy

Vinyx is not directed to children under 13, and its target audience is 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us at [email protected].

11. Security

Your data stays on your device, protected by Android's security model and app-private storage. Subscription payments are processed by Google Play over secure connections. No method of electronic storage is perfectly secure, but because we collect no personal data, our exposure is minimal.

12. International Transfers

Vinyx does not transfer personal data to our servers or anywhere else. Subscription processing by Google may involve transfers of data across countries under Google's own safeguards and policies. Your files and recordings never leave your device unless you choose to share them.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example if the app's features change. The "Last updated" date at the top shows the latest revision. Material changes will be reflected on this page and in the app's Google Play listing where appropriate.
