listen
Effective date: February 14, 2026
listen is a local music player. It does not require an account, does not provide a social layer, and does not collect personal data.
Information Collected
listen does not collect, store, transmit, or sell personal information.
The app does not include:
- analytics
- advertising SDKs
- third-party tracking
- telemetry
- data harvesting of any kind
Local File Access
listen requests access only to:
- The user’s Music folder (optional)
- User-selected folders
- Apple Music library (optional, for playlist import and matching)
These permissions are used solely to:
- reference audio files stored on your Mac or device
- import playlists
- display album artwork and metadata
Your music files remain on your device.
The only time listen modifies a file is when you explicitly choose to embed album artwork into that file.
No file data is transmitted to any server.
Spatial Audio
listen supports Apple’s head-tracked Spatial Audio playback. This feature uses Apple’s system-level audio processing and does not collect or transmit any data.
listen does not access your microphone.
iCloud
listen does not sync data to external servers. If future versions include optional iCloud support, it will be limited to Apple’s private user storage.
Website
The listen website does not use analytics, advertising networks, or tracking scripts.
Hosting providers may collect standard server logs (such as IP address and request timestamps) for operational and security purposes. These logs are not accessed or used by listen.
