Privacy Policy.

Short answer: we collect no personal information. All data processing happens locally on your device.

NeuPlayer does not collect any personal information including:

• Names, email addresses, or contact information
• Account credentials or user profiles
• Location data or device identifiers
• Usage analytics or behavioral data
• Audio files or their content
• Any information that could identify you personally

NeuPlayer processes the following data locally on your device only:

• Audio file metadata — title, author, duration, and chapter information extracted from your audiobook files
• Playback information — current position, playback speed, and listening progress
• User preferences — app settings, theme selection, and audio preferences
• Personal notes — bookmarks, notes, and annotations you create
• Library organisation — how you organise and categorise your audiobooks

This local data never leaves your device and is stored securely using Android's built-in storage mechanisms.

All data processing serves core app functionality:

• Audio playback — resume from where you left off
• Library management — organise and display your audiobook collection
• Personal features — save bookmarks, notes, and listening preferences
• App experience — remember your settings and theme preferences

We do not send your data to external servers, analyse your listening habits, create user profiles, share information with advertisers, or use data for marketing or promotional purposes.

Simple answer: we don't share your data with anyone because we don't collect it in the first place.

NeuPlayer does not share, sell, or transmit any user data to third parties — including analytics companies, advertising networks, data brokers, or marketing platforms.

NeuPlayer integrates with one third-party service:

• Google Play Services— in-app purchase verification for premium features. Only purchase transaction verification is involved. This is standard Android functionality for paid app features. See Google's Privacy Policy.

NeuPlayer does not use analytics services, crash reporting services, advertising networks, social media integrations, cloud storage services, or user tracking tools.

Your data is protected using Android's security frameworks:

• App sandbox — your data is isolated from other apps
• Secure storage — sensitive data uses Android's secure storage APIs
• Encrypted storage — premium status and sensitive preferences are encrypted
• No network transmission — data never travels over the internet

Data security also depends on your device. We recommend using a device lock screen and encryption, keeping your Android system updated, and only installing apps from trusted sources.

NeuPlayer requests the following permissions for core functionality:

• Storage access (MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, Android 11+) — read-only access to locate and play your audio files. Only audio file metadata is processed locally.
• Audio playback (WAKE_LOCK, FOREGROUND_SERVICE) — keeps audio playing when the screen is off or the app is minimised.

No optional permissions are requested. All permissions are essential for core app functionality.

Since all data is stored locally on your device, you have complete control:

• Access — all your data is accessible within the app
• Modification — edit bookmarks, notes, and preferences at any time
• Deletion — remove individual items or clear all data
• Export — your data never leaves the device, so it's always under your control

To completely remove all NeuPlayer data, uninstall the app. All local data will be automatically deleted. No residual data remains on external servers.

If you purchase premium features, purchase verification is handled by Google Play Store. Premium status is stored securely on your device and you can restore purchases on the same Google account.

NeuPlayer is suitable for users of all ages, including children under 13:

• No personal information collected from any users
• No online interactions or social features
• No advertising or external links
• No account creation or registration required
• Complies with COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act)

Our privacy-first approach protects users worldwide:

• GDPR (Europe) — no personal data processing means full compliance
• CCPA (California) — no personal information sale or sharing
• Other jurisdictions — local-only processing respects all privacy laws

Your data never crosses borders because it never leaves your device.

We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in app functionality, address new privacy regulations, or improve clarity. Significant changes will be communicated through app store update descriptions, in-app notifications, and an updated effective date on this page.

Technical details for transparency:

• Database — SQLite (local device storage)
• Preferences — Android SharedPreferences
• Secure data — Android Keystore and encrypted storage
• Audio processing — local media frameworks only

NeuPlayer's network activity is limited to in-app purchase communication with Google Play Store only. There is no analytics, no data synchronisation, and full functionality is available without an internet connection.

If you have any questions about this privacy policy or NeuPlayer's data practices, use the contact form on our website. We typically respond within 48 hours. Please include your question or concern, app version (found in Settings), and device type and Android version if relevant.

Since we don't collect personal data, we cannot and have never fulfilled any government or third-party data requests about our users. No security breaches have occurred because no personal data is collected or transmitted. Zero third parties have access to user data because no user data is collected.

Policy version: 1.0 — App compatibility: NeuPlayer v1.1.0 and later — Legal basis: complies with GDPR, CCPA, COPPA, and other applicable privacy regulations.
