Privacy Policy — Blue Player

Effective date: 30 October 2026 · Published by Seydi Charyyev (Şapak Apps) · App developed by Aýnazar Sylyýew

Summary

We do not collect, receive or store your data. Blue Player is a local music player. It has no accounts, no registration, no advertising and no analytics. Your music library, playlists, favorites, bookmarks, play statistics and settings are stored only on your device.

Internet access is off by default. While it is off, Blue Player sends no requests to any server and shows no images from the internet. If you turn it on in Settings → Advanced, the track title and artist name, or only the artist name for artist images, are sent to the lookup services listed below. These services can see your IP address.

Data stored on your device

Uninstalling the app removes all of this data from your device. Cover and image caches can be cleared in Settings → Advanced.

Permissions and why we request them

Permission Why it is used
READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (Android 12L and older) Finds and plays the music stored on your device.
READ_MEDIA_AUDIO (Android 13 and newer) Finds and plays the music stored on your device.
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE (Android 10 and older) Used only when you delete a track or save tag changes. You start both actions yourself.
POST_NOTIFICATIONS Shows playback controls in the notification shade.
FOREGROUND_SERVICE, FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK Runs playback as a foreground service, so music keeps playing when the screen is off or the app is in the background.
WAKE_LOCK Keeps the device awake while music is playing.
INTERNET Looks up online covers and artist images, only when Internet access is turned on.
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE Checks whether you are on Wi-Fi, for the Wi-Fi-only option.
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED Restores the home screen widget after the device restarts. It reads no personal data.

Internet access, online covers and artist images

Internet access is off by default (Settings → Advanced). While it is off, Blue Player sends no requests and does not show any image from the internet. You can also limit Internet access to Wi-Fi only; this option is off by default. The Wi-Fi-only setting applies to all the lookups and downloads described here. All lookups and downloads use HTTPS.

Images are shown only after Blue Player has downloaded them to your device. When Internet access is on, the app looks up:

Downloading an image also contacts the image server of the same service. The images are saved on your device. Like any internet request, these services can see your IP address, and they handle requests under their own privacy policies.

The services that receive these requests are:

Editing tags, deleting and sharing files

Tag editing and file deletion work only on files you select, and only when you start the action. Changes are made directly to the file on your device. Nothing is uploaded. Sharing a track opens the standard Android share sheet, and you choose the receiving app.

Backups

Blue Player is excluded from Android's automatic backup, so your data is not copied to your Google account. Settings → Advanced lets you export and import app settings as a file you choose. The file stays on your device unless you share it yourself. The app never uploads it.

Third-party services

Blue Player does not include advertising, analytics or crash-reporting SDKs. The only services it contacts are the lookup services listed above, and only when Internet access is on.

The About and Libraries screens contain links to the project page on GitHub and to the websites of the libraries the app uses. These links open in your browser only when you tap them. Blue Player does not send requests to them.

Children's privacy

Blue Player is not directed at children. We do not collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.

Türkmençe gysgaça

Blue Player — enjamda işleýän aýdym-saz oýnadyjy. Hasap, mahabat ýa-da analitika ýok. Kitaphanaňyz, sanawlaryňyz, halanýan sazlaryňyz, bellikleriňiz we sazlamalaryňyz diňe enjamyňyzda saklanýar. Internet girişi başdan öçük. Ol öçük bolsa, programma hiç bir serwere sorag iberenok we surat görkezmeýär. Internet girişini Sazlamalar → Giňeldilen bölüminde açsaňyz, sazlaryň ady we ýerine ýetiriji sanawdaky üçünji tarap hyzmatlaryna iberilýär. Bu hyzmatlar IP-adresiňizi görüp biler. Biz siziň şahsy maglumatlaryňyzy ýygnamaýarys, kabul etmeýäris we saklamaýarys.

Кратко по-русски

Blue Player — локальный музыкальный плеер. Без аккаунта, рекламы и аналитики. Библиотека, плейлисты, избранное, закладки, статистика прослушивания и настройки хранятся только на устройстве. Интернет-доступ по умолчанию выключен. Пока он выключен, приложение не отправляет запросов и не показывает картинки из сети. Если вы его включите, для поиска обложек отправляются название трека и исполнитель, а для фото исполнителей — только имя исполнителя. Эти данные уходят сторонним сервисам из списка выше, и они видят IP-адрес. Режим «только Wi-Fi» действует на все запросы, все запросы идут по HTTPS. Выключить можно в Настройки → Дополнительно. Мы не получаем и не храним ваши данные.
