Privacy Policy for Dupe Snoop

Last Updated: November 29, 2025

Overview

Dupe Snoop (“the App”) is designed to help you manage duplicate songs in your Apple Music library. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

The short version: Dupe Snoop does not collect, store, or transmit any of your personal data to external servers. All data stays on your device.

Information We Access

To provide its functionality, Dupe Snoop requires access to the following:

Apple Music Library Access

The App accesses your local Apple Music library to identify and display duplicate songs
This access is used solely to read song metadata (titles, artists, albums, artwork) for duplicate detection
Your music files and library data never leave your device

Apple MusicKit Access

The App uses Apple’s MusicKit framework to search the Apple Music catalog for alternate versions of songs
The App may access your Apple Music favorites/ratings to display favorite status
All MusicKit requests go directly to Apple’s servers using Apple’s secure APIs

Information We Do NOT Collect

Dupe Snoop does not:

Collect or store any personal information
Track your location
Access your contacts, photos, or other personal data
Use analytics or tracking services
Share any data with third parties
Transmit your music library data to external servers
Store your Apple ID or account credentials

Data Storage

All app data is stored locally on your device:

Queue Data: Songs you queue for removal are stored locally in your device’s app documents folder
Preferences: Your app settings (theme, playlist name, etc.) are stored using iOS’s standard UserDefaults
Hidden Groups: Groups you choose to hide are stored locally on your device

This data is:

Never transmitted to external servers
Automatically removed if you delete the app
Not backed up to iCloud unless you have iCloud backup enabled for your device

Third-Party Services

The only external communication is with Apple’s servers through official Apple frameworks (MediaPlayer and MusicKit) to:

Read your local music library
Search the Apple Music catalog
Manage favorites and ratings

These communications are governed by Apple’s Privacy Policy.

Children’s Privacy

Dupe Snoop does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13 years of age. The App does not collect personal information from any users.

To remove all app data:

Delete the Dupe Snoop app from your device
All locally stored preferences and queue data will be automatically removed
