LolaFi Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 9, 2026

LolaFi ("the app") is a music player for Android and Android TV that connects
to a Jellyfin media server that you provide and control. This policy
explains what data the app handles and how.

1. Who we are

LolaFi is developed and maintained independently. Contact:
[email protected].

2. What the app stores

LolaFi does not have its own backend, and does not itself collect or store
your personal data on any server we run. The only data the app stores is
kept locally on your device:

• Jellyfin server URL and authentication token — entered by you when you
  connect the app to your own Jellyfin server, stored locally so you don't
  have to log in every time.
• Downloaded audio files — saved to the app's private storage when you
  choose to download tracks for offline playback.
• Playback preferences and app settings — e.g. equalizer settings,
  battery-optimization prompt state, saved locally.

3. Who the app talks to

• Your Jellyfin server — the app sends playback requests and reports
  playback progress only to the server URL you configure. What that server
  does with the data is governed by your own server's configuration, not by
  this policy.
• Anthropic (Claude API) — AI Mix feature only. If you use the "AI Mix"
  screen to describe a vibe (by typing or using voice input), the app sends
  your prompt text and a list of artist/genre names from your library to
  Anthropic's Claude API (api.anthropic.com) to generate playlist
  suggestions. This request uses an API key we (the developer) own and
  provide as part of the app — you never see, enter, or manage this key
  yourself. Using this key, your prompt and library metadata leave your
  device and are processed by Anthropic. This only happens when you
  actively use the AI Mix feature; it is not used for regular library
  search. See Anthropic's own privacy policy for how they handle API data.
• Google Cast (Chromecast) — if you cast to a Chromecast device, LolaFi
  uses Google Play Services' Cast SDK to discover devices on your local
  network and stream to them. This is governed by Google's own privacy
  policy for Play Services; LolaFi does not add any tracking of its own.

LolaFi contains no analytics SDK, no crash-reporting SDK, no advertising SDK,
and no in-app purchases.

4. Permissions the app requests

Voice input (no microphone permission requested by LolaFi). The mic
button on the Search and AI Mix screens launches your device's own default
speech-recognition app (e.g. the Google app) via an Android system intent.
That app — not LolaFi — accesses the microphone and performs the
transcription under its own permission; LolaFi never declares the
RECORD_AUDIO permission and never records or processes raw audio itself.
It only receives the final transcribed text back. For ordinary library
search, that text is used solely to query your own Jellyfin server. For AI
Mix, that text is sent on to Anthropic as described in Section 3 above.

LolaFi does not request camera, contacts, or location access.

5. Data sharing and sale

We do not sell or rent your data. The one case where data leaves your device
to a party other than your own Jellyfin server is the AI Mix feature
described in Section 3, which sends your prompt and library metadata to
Anthropic — and only when you choose to use that feature.

6. Your control over your data

• All app data lives locally on your device and on the Jellyfin server you
  chose to connect to.
• Logging out clears the locally stored server URL and auth token.
• Uninstalling the app removes all locally stored data, including
  downloaded audio files.
• Because LolaFi has no backend of its own, there is no account or data to
  delete on our end — there is nothing for us to hold.

7. Children's privacy

LolaFi is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect
data from children.

8. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the update will be posted on this page with a new
"last updated" date.
