What the app reads on your phone
The app reads files on your phone so it can show and play them. This stays on your phone.
| Access | Why |
|---|---|
| Photos and videos (and the location stored in a picture, if you allow it) | To show your library, the viewer, search, Memories and the town a picture was taken in. The town is worked out on the phone from a list inside the app; no location is sent anywhere. |
| Music and audio | To list and play your songs, with background playback and lock-screen controls. |
| Books, comics, PDFs and documents | To open and read them. You pick them with the system file picker, or open them with the app from another app. (The version downloaded from this website can also look through the phone's storage for them.) |
| Camera | Only for "Scan to PDF", on phones where the system scanner is not available. Pictures stay on the phone. |
| Notifications | For the now-playing control. |
| Fingerprint, face or screen lock | To open the Private folder. The check is done by Android; the app never sees your fingerprint or face. |
| Local network | Only when you choose "Cast": the app offers a file to a TV or speaker on your own Wi-Fi. |
What is sent to the internet
Lyrics. When you turn "Find lyrics online" on (it is off by default; you turn it on in Settings › Playing), the app asks the free lyrics service LRCLIB (lrclib.net) for the words of a song you play. The request contains the song's title, artist, album and length, and, like any web request, your IP address. It contains no account, no device identifier and none of your files. The words that come back are kept on your phone. Leave it off, or turn it off again, and nothing is sent. LRCLIB's own policy applies to what it does with requests.
The app makes no other requests to the internet. It has no analytics, crash-reporting or advertising code.
The Private folder
Files you move into Private are encrypted on your phone with a key kept in Android's secure storage. We cannot open them and cannot recover them: if you uninstall the app or lose the key, they are gone.
Sharing
We do not sell or share your data. Google Play and Android handle installation and updates under Google's own policies. If you download the APK from this website instead, the website is hosted on GitHub Pages, which may log visits (such as your IP address) under GitHub's own policy; this website sets no cookies and loads no third-party scripts, fonts or trackers.
Keeping and deleting data
Everything the app keeps (its settings, saved lyrics, the Private folder) is on your phone. Clear it in Android's Settings › Apps › Tulipix Manager › Storage, or uninstall the app. We hold nothing about you, so there is nothing for us to delete.
Children
The app is not aimed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect anything from anyone.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be on this page with a new date.
