Mixtory Privacy Policy
Effective date: September 24, 2026
Mixtory (“the app”) is an Android app that records the music you play in other apps and sends it to your Last.fm account (“scrobbling”). This policy explains what data the app handles, where it goes, and how you control it.
Short version: Mixtory has no servers of its own. It has no ads, analytics or tracking SDKs, and it does not sell or share your data. Your listening history is stored on your device and is sent only to Last.fm, the service you connect the app to.
Data the app handles
Last.fm account
To connect Mixtory, you sign in on the Last.fm website in your browser. Mixtory never sees your password. Last.fm returns your username and a session key, which the app stores on your device encrypted with a key held in the Android Keystore.
What you are playing
With your permission, Mixtory uses Android’s Notification access to read the currently playing track from media apps (artist, title, album, duration, playback position, and which app is playing). It reads media playback information only. It does not read the content of your notifications or messages.
Tracks are recorded only from the apps you turn on in Settings → Sources. Apps you have not enabled are listed there so you can choose, but nothing from them is recorded.
Listening history and cache
Mixtory stores these on your device:
- your listening history, including the history it downloads from your Last.fm account;
- scrobbles that are waiting to be uploaded;
- “loved” tracks;
- cached catalog data: artist, album and track info, tags, similar artists, charts and artwork;
- your app settings.
This data is excluded from Android cloud backup and device-to-device transfer.
Where data is sent
Mixtory talks directly to these third-party services. It sends only what each request needs:
| Service | What is sent | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Last.fm (last.fm) | Your username and session key; the tracks you play (artist, title, album, duration, time); your “love” actions; artist/album/track names you open | Scrobbling, “now playing”, syncing your history, and catalog info, charts and artwork |
| Deezer (deezer.com) | Artist names | Finding artist photos |
| fanart.tv | Artist MusicBrainz IDs | Finding artist photos |
| Image hosts of the services above | Standard requests for image files | Loading artwork |
Like any internet request, these services can see your device’s IP address. Their handling of data is governed by their own policies:
The scrobbles you send become part of your Last.fm profile. Your Last.fm privacy settings decide who can see them.
What Mixtory does not do
- It does not collect data on servers of its own. There are none.
- It does not use advertising, analytics, crash-reporting or tracking SDKs.
- It does not sell data or share it with anyone other than the services listed above.
- It does not access your contacts, location, files, camera or microphone.
Permissions
- Notification access — to detect the track playing in your media apps (see above). You can revoke it at any time in Android settings.
- Notifications — to show status notifications, such as a new music app to review.
- Internet / network state — to talk to the services above and to wait for connectivity before uploading.
Your choices and data deletion
- Stop recording: turn off Scrobbling or individual Sources in Settings, or revoke Notification access in Android settings.
- Delete data on your device: use Settings → Log out. This removes your session, listening history, pending scrobbles and cache from the device. Uninstalling the app also deletes all of its data.
- Delete data on Last.fm: scrobbles already sent to Last.fm are stored in your Last.fm account. Manage or delete them in your Last.fm account settings.
Children
Mixtory is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect their data.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this address with a new effective date.
