Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 15, 2026

Thank you for using the WaveLoop apps — including WaveLoop, Choppa, layerz, tide, wake, roadie and infininote ("the Apps"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data when you use our 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. roadie can stream audio and video between your own devices over your own local network — that traffic goes device-to-device on the network you are already on, never through us, and we have no access to it.

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: Microphone input is used to record sample material for immediate, local processing. We never receive, transmit or store your audio.
• Dictation (infininote, macOS): Holding to dictate uses Apple's speech recognition to turn speech into text on your page. Recognition runs on your device whenever your language supports it. If it does not, Apple processes the audio under Apple's privacy policy. We never receive the audio, and we never store it.

4. The Members Room (waveloop.app/members)

Owning a WaveLoop app gives you access to a members-only room on our website. Your purchase is the key: the app sends Apple's signed proof-of-purchase receipt to our server, which returns a sign-in link. We never receive your Apple ID, name, email or payment details — only an anonymous member identifier derived from that receipt, plus whichever app you signed in from.

• Nothing is shared unless you ask. The Apps upload nothing on their own. Files leave your device only when you tap a share control (for example → WALL or > WALL in infininote).
• What gets uploaded: exactly what you chose to share — an image, a video, an audio file, or an infininote drawing (its vector data, so the site can display it in 3D). It is stored against your member identifier, along with the filename, size and time.
• Who can see it: other members. The room is not public and is not indexed by search engines, but anyone who owns a WaveLoop app can open it, so treat anything you post as visible to other owners. Please don't upload anything private.
• Where: DigitalOcean (database and private object storage). Files are served through short-lived private links, never public URLs.
• Your alias: optional. If you don't set one, your posts show a shortened form of the anonymous identifier.
• Deletion: you can delete any of your own shares from the room at any time — the file and its record are removed. To remove everything, contact us and we will delete your member record and all associated uploads within 30 days.
• We do not analyse, train on, sell, or share what you post.

5. Your Drawings, Recordings and Documents

Your work stays yours and stays local. Where an app syncs (for example infininote canvases), it uses your own iCloud account — the data goes to Apple's servers under your Apple ID, and we have no access to it. We only ever see something if you deliberately share it into the Members Room as described above.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.
