Trackpile turns a social-media post you share into songs in your music library. This policy explains exactly what the app does with your data.
Short version: Trackpile has no accounts, no analytics, no tracking and no servers of its own. Your Pile stays on your device. When you share a post, its URL and media are sent to the third-party services listed below purely to identify the songs.
When you share a post, Trackpile sends data to these services to identify the songs. We do not control their handling of it; their policies apply.
| Service | What is sent | Why | Their policy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apify | The URL of the post you shared | To fetch the post's caption, images and video | https://apify.com/privacy-policy |
| Google Gemini | The post's caption, recognised on-screen text, and its slide images (and, if nothing else identified a song, the post's video) | To work out which songs the post names | https://policies.google.com/privacy |
| Spotify | Your search terms and the tracks you save; your OAuth token | To search the catalog, save songs to your library, and create playlists you ask for | https://www.spotify.com/legal/privacy-policy/ |
| Apple Music / ShazamKit | Search terms and tracks you save | To search the catalog and add songs to your library | https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/ |
| Apple iTunes Search API and Apple Marketing RSS | Search terms; nothing about you | To look up song details and charts without an account | https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/ |
| Deezer | Search terms and artist names; nothing about you | As a fallback source for search results, charts and "similar artists" | https://www.deezer.com/legal/personal-datas |
| Last.fm (through Trackpile's proxy, see below) | Artist and track names; nothing about you | To find similar music for the Explore feed | https://www.last.fm/legal/privacy |
Trackpile only sends a post's content when you share that post (or paste its link). The catalog sources above are also queried when you search or browse Explore — those requests carry a search term, or the names of artists already in your Pile, and nothing that identifies you or your device.
To explain why an import found nothing, Trackpile keeps the last 10 import records on your device. These hold counts and status only — for example the number of slides, recognised text lines, audio matches and songs added, plus the post's URL and any error message. They contain no captions, lyrics or media. "Copy report" copies this text so you can share it in a bug report; nothing is sent anywhere automatically. Clear it any time with Settings → Recent imports → Clear history.
Both can be declined or revoked in iOS Settings; the app still works, saving songs to your local Pile.
Everything Trackpile stores is on your device. Deleting the app removes your Pile, settings and import history. Disconnect Spotify any time in Settings — that deletes the stored token from your Keychain. Songs already added to your music service are managed there, not by Trackpile.
Trackpile is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their data.
Material changes to this policy will be reflected here with an updated date.
