Privacy, in plain language.

This privacy policy describes how OpenBlast for Android handles your data. OpenBlast is a free and open-source music player and does not display any in-app advertising.

Your music and settings

Listening history, local playlists, playback preferences and downloaded audio files are stored solely on your device. Clearing app data or uninstalling removes the app’s local data. Android backups and exports you create are separate copies under your control.

No Tracking and No Ads

OpenBlast does not collect personal identifiers, phone numbers, contact lists, financial details or precise location. There are no advertising SDKs or third-party behavioral trackers embedded in the app.

Services you use

Music streaming, artwork, synchronized lyrics, radio and podcasts require network requests to their respective public providers (such as YouTube Music, LRCLIB and Radio Browser). These requests send only the track parameters necessary to deliver the requested audio or lyrics.

Permissions and controls

Notifications are used solely to show playback controls and album artwork in your status bar and lock screen. Media audio permissions allow playback of songs stored locally on your device. Microphone access is optional and used only in real time if you explicitly use the song recognition feature.

Questions and source code

OpenBlast is privacy-focused software. No personal data, listening history, or device identifiers are ever tracked, sold, or shared with third parties.
