Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 8, 2026

Thank you for using WaveLoop and Choppa ("the Apps"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data when you use our audio production software, plugins, and website.

1. The Short Version: We Don't Collect Your Audio

WaveLoop and Choppa are purely local audio production tools. We do not collect, transmit, store, or have access to any audio you record, chop, or process using the Apps. All microphone input and audio processing happens entirely on your local device.

2. Email Collection & Downloads

When you download waveOS or other free software from our website, we ask for your email address. Here's what we do with it:

• What we store: Your email address, the products you signed up for, download timestamps, and any feedback you submit through our website.
• Why: To send you product updates (only for the products you downloaded), to understand how our software is being used, and to provide support.
• Where: Your data is stored in a secure, managed database hosted on DigitalOcean infrastructure.
• We will never: Sell your email, share it with third parties for marketing, or email you about anything other than the products you signed up for.
• Deletion: You can request deletion of all your data at any time by emailing us or submitting a feedback request through the website. We will remove your record within 30 days.

3. App Store & In-App Data (iOS/macOS)

If you purchase or download Choppa or WaveLoop via the Apple App Store, Apple collects standard analytics, crash reports, and purchase history according to their own privacy policies. We do not receive personally identifiable information from Apple regarding your app usage beyond anonymous crash logs (if you opt-in via your device settings).

• Microphone Access: The apps require microphone access solely to record sample material for immediate, local loop processing. This data never leaves your device.

4. Website & Paddle Storefront (macOS/Windows)

If you purchase WaveLoop licenses directly through our website (waveloop.app), we use Paddle.com as our Merchant of Record and payment processor. When you buy a license:

• Paddle collects your name, email, billing address, and payment information to process the transaction securely and calculate taxes.
• We (the developer) only receive your name, email, and license key status to provide customer support.
• We never see or store your credit card numbers.

For more details on how Paddle handles your payment data, please review the Paddle Privacy Policy.

5. Website Analytics

Our website (waveloop.app) uses standard Google Analytics to understand basic traffic patterns (e.g., how many people visit the site). This does not track your usage inside the standalone apps or plugins.

6. Changes to this Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will post the updated policy on this page.
