Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 15, 2026

Playlist Wall ("Playlist Wall," "we," "us," or "our") is an independent tool that helps you organize your own music library. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. We built Playlist Wall to touch as little of your data as possible.

The short version. We do not receive your Apple ID password or payment information. We do not store your audio. Your music stays in your own streaming account. We collect a small amount of information (like an email you give us and some anonymous-ish stats about the size and shape of your library) to run and improve the service, and you can delete it at any time.

1. Who this applies to

This policy applies to the Playlist Wall website and application (the "Service"). It does not cover Apple Music, Spotify, or any other third-party service, each of which has its own privacy practices.

2. Information we collect

Information you give us

Email address — if you join a waitlist, sign up for updates, or add it to your profile.
Profile details — an optional username and profile photo you choose. Your photo is stored on your own device, and, if you add an email to sync, on our database.
Messages — anything you send us, such as support requests.

Information from your music service (only with your permission)

When you sign in with Apple Music, Apple's MusicKit asks for your permission and then lets Playlist Wall read your library so it can display and organize it. From this we may compute and store a small profile of your account, which can include: the number of songs and playlists in your library, your general music taste (for example your most common genres and artists), and your storefront or country. We use this to make the app feel personal and to understand, in aggregate, who uses Playlist Wall.

We do not receive or store: your Apple ID or Spotify password, your payment or billing information, or the actual audio of any song. Authentication is handled by Apple; we only receive a temporary token that lets the app act on your behalf while you use it.

Information collected automatically

Device and usage data — such as browser and device type, and how you interact with the Service, used to keep it working and improve it.
Referral source — where you came from (for example a link or campaign tag), so we know which channels bring people in.
Local storage — we store your settings and preferences in your browser so the app remembers them. This stays on your device.

3. How we use information

To provide, operate, and secure the Service.
To personalize your experience.
To communicate with you about the Service, and to send updates if you have opted in.
To understand usage and improve the Service, including in aggregate and de-identified form.
To comply with law and to protect the rights, safety, and property of you, us, and others.

4. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only in these limited ways:

Service providers that run the Service on our behalf, such as our database provider (Neon) and hosting provider (Vercel). They may process data only to provide services to us.
Apple and other music services, as needed to perform the actions you request in your own account.
Legal and safety — if required by law, or to protect rights, safety, and property.
Business transfers — if Playlist Wall is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may transfer as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any change in ownership or use of your personal information.

5. Your choices and rights

Delete your data. Deleting your account removes your Playlist Wall profile and associated data from our database. Your Apple Music library is not affected.
Email opt-out. You can unsubscribe from updates at any time.
Access and correction. You can view and edit your profile in the app, or contact us for help.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights. If you are in the European Economic Area or the UK, you have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or port your data, and to object to certain processing, under the GDPR. If you are a California resident, you have rights under the CCPA/CPRA to know, delete, correct, and opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information (we do not sell or share it in that sense), and not to be discriminated against for exercising those rights. To exercise any right, contact us using the details below.

6. Data retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described here, or as required by law. When you delete your account, we delete the associated data from our systems within a reasonable period, except where we must retain it to meet legal obligations or resolve disputes.

7. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, and we store secrets on the server rather than in your browser. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children

The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 where a higher age applies), and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

9. Third-party services

The Service works alongside third parties such as Apple Music and Spotify. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies, which we do not control.

10. International users

We operate from the United States, and your information may be processed there or in other countries where our providers operate. Those countries may have different data-protection laws than yours. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
