Privacy Policy

OysterPad is developed and published by Oyster Enterprises LLC. This Privacy Policy explains how OysterPad handles information when you use the app.

1. Information We Collect

OysterPad performs its music and audio processing on your device. The app does not collect or sell personal information such as your name, email address, location, contacts, audio recordings, or payment information.

OysterPad (Oyster Live Music) is currently distributed through Apple's App Store as a paid app. Android support is planned for a future release. Purchases, billing, and account-related information are handled by the relevant app store provider. OysterPad and Oyster Enterprises LLC do not have access to payment information.

On iPhone, OysterPad uses Apple's StoreKit to verify that the installed copy was obtained from the App Store. Store-signed purchase information is verified on your device and is not sent to Oyster Enterprises LLC.

After a successful verification, the app derives an anonymous Oyster serial from Apple's app transaction identifier using a one-way hash. It sends that derived serial, app version, build number, platform, verification environment, and activity timestamps to the Oyster purchase registry. The original Apple identifier is not transmitted or stored by Oyster Enterprises LLC.

OysterPad does not use analytics services, tracking technologies, or user profiling.

2. Audio and Device Processing

All audio playback, looping, and sound processing are performed locally on your device. No audio data is transmitted or stored externally.

3. Internet Connectivity

OysterPad does not require internet access for its core music functionality. Internet access is used for App Store purchase verification and anonymous purchase-registry updates. A temporary network failure does not interrupt music functionality.

4. Third-Party Services

OysterPad uses Apple StoreKit for purchase verification, Firebase App Check with Apple App Attest to confirm that registry requests come from the authentic app, and Firebase services for crash diagnostics on iPhone and for registry storage. The app does not include third-party advertising.

5. Data Sharing

Anonymous registry and operational data is processed by Apple, Google Firebase, and Vercel only as needed to provide purchase verification, security, diagnostics, and the private registry service. It is not sold or used for advertising.

6. Children's Privacy

OysterPad does not knowingly collect any information from children.

7. Data Retention

Anonymous purchase-registry records are retained while needed to operate and protect the app. These records contain the derived Oyster serial and technical metadata described above, not the original Apple or Google purchase identifiers.

8. Security

Audio processing remains on-device. Registry requests are protected with Firebase App Check, and access to the registry dashboard is restricted.

9. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated if the app evolves. Updates will be reflected with a new effective date.
