- Widephase does not track you across apps or websites.

- Widephase does not collect listening history on a remote server.
Who we are
The app and this website are published by Vladislav Isaev, an individual Apple developer, not a company. Contact: support@widephase.com.
What the app reads on your device
Widephase works with files and libraries you choose:
- Audio files you open or import through the system file picker, and document types the app declares it can open.
- Your Apple Music library, only if you grant the optional permission described as access to Apple Music. You can refuse this permission and still use local files.
- A Philips Hue Bridge on your local network, only if you use that feature. The app looks for it on the LAN using Bonjour (
_hue._tcp). Lighting data stays on your network for that feature; the app does not send your music to Hue’s cloud as part of ordinary playback.
Apple Music favorites
If you allow access to Apple Music, the heart in Widephase stays in sync with your Apple Music Favorites for songs from your Apple Music library. This sync happens directly between your iPhone and Apple, under your Apple ID, using Apple’s MusicKit. Widephase only sends Apple the catalog identifier of the song you heart or unheart, and reads back whether your songs are in your Favorites. Widephase operates no servers and collects no data: we never receive your library, your favorites or your listening activity. Apple handles this information under Apple’s own privacy policy. Hearts on your own audio files stay on your iPhone.
What stays on your iPhone
- Preferences are stored locally (system user defaults).
- The app may use file timestamps and system uptime because Apple requires those system interfaces to be declared. They are used for ordinary local operation, not to build a profile about you.
- Your audio files remain your files. The player can show an Original or Converted path for playback; files on disk are not rewritten.
System features that are not ours
Siri, AirPlay, lock-screen controls, Bluetooth, and file providers are operated by Apple (or by the destination you pick) under your system settings. Those services have their own privacy rules. Widephase does not replace them with its own cloud.
This website
This site is a static set of pages. It does not embed advertising or analytics scripts. Your browser will of course send ordinary technical data (such as an IP address and user agent) to the host that serves the files — today that is expected to be Netlify when the site is published — so that the pages can be delivered and protected. We do not use that hosting data to identify you, and we do not run a separate tracking pixel.
Children
Widephase does not ask for personal information and does not target children with advertising or tracking.
We do not sell information
There is no advertising identifier programme in the app, and we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context advertising.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new text will be posted on this page with an updated date. For a material change after the app is on the App Store, we will also note it in an app update when that is practical.
