MediaAmp Pro Privacy Policy
MediaAmp Pro ("the app") is provided by BS Planet. This policy sets out how the app handles personal data. Effective date: 2026-10-18.
1. Personal data BS Planet handles
The only personal data BS Planet itself handles is the order information it views in Google Play Console to support refunds (section 5) and the e-mail address and message you provide when you contact us (section 9); it builds no profile and does not use this data for advertising or pass it to third parties. There is no sign-up, no login and no BS Planet server, and BS Planet has added no analytics tool to the app. However, the Google Play Billing Library and the Google Cast SDK included in the app may send diagnostic records about how the libraries operate to Google without any action on your part (section 3). The only cases in which the app communicates outside the device are listed in section 3, and data handled by the other party (Google, Apple, etc.) is subject to that company’s privacy policy.
2. Data stored on the device
Play history and counts, favourites and ratings, playlists, resume positions, settings and effect values, podcast subscriptions and lyrics you added yourself are stored only in the app’s own storage and the standard media store, and are deleted together with the app. The per-track loudness and timbre analysis values read for recommendations, and what the recommendation learns, are kept in the same place only. If Android app data backup is turned on, the operating system also copies these values to your own Google account. That is a process between Google and you in which BS Planet takes no part (https://policies.google.com/privacy; review or delete at https://myaccount.google.com/data-and-privacy). Values that lose their meaning on another device are excluded from that backup: the subscription-entitlement cache, your search terms, video resume positions, device facts, widget state and damage flags. A small playback-resume diagnostic record is also kept there: the times and outcomes of restarting playback from a notification or Bluetooth button while the app was closed, and the reasons the app last stopped, with file paths, track titles and similar values masked. It is excluded from app data backup, the app never sends it off the device on its own, and it is included only in what is copied when you tap “Copy diagnostics” in Settings.
3. Cases in which data leaves the device
The following communication takes place directly between the device and the other server, and none of it is transmitted to BS Planet. Because the Google Play Data safety form labels any transfer off the device as collection, the voice and advertising items, and the Google Cast SDK's app interaction records among the Google library diagnostics below, are declared on that form.
- Podcasts: received directly from the RSS addresses you registered and from the episode and artwork servers the feed designates.
- Podcast recommendations: only when you open the recommendation chart, the device region code and the show numbers of the chart are sent to Apple’s public API. Name search is performed on the device, so search terms are not sent to Apple (https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/).
- Voice commands and voice search: only when you press the voice button, the speech recognition service installed on the device (usually Google) processes the audio; on Android 13 and later, up to 100 artist and title names from your library are sent with it to improve recognition. The app does not record or keep audio. If you turn on “Voice noise suppression” in the app’s Settings (Android 13 and later), the app itself takes the microphone input while a voice command or voice search is being received and passes the sound to the same recognition service, reducing the noise first on devices that provide a noise suppressor; this audio is not stored either. For the recognition service’s processing, retention and deletion, see https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://myactivity.google.com/.
- Web search: only when you choose Search in the track info window, a browser is opened with the title, album and artist as the search terms. Further handling is subject to the policy of that search engine.
- Cast and DLNA: only while casting to a TV or speaker on the same network, the app discovers devices, and a local server that runs only while casting serves the file at a local address (http://192.168.x.x:port/…). DLNA and this server use plain HTTP as the standard requires. Each file address contains an unguessable random value that stops working when casting ends, and when casting to a DLNA device the server answers only requests from the device you chose. Because this traffic is unencrypted, other devices on the same network could intercept it.
- Ads (Google AdMob): only when a user who has not purchased the lifetime licence taps “Watch 1 ad, use for 24 hours” on the purchase screen, one rewarded ad is shown. During that time the Google ad SDK transmits the advertising ID, IP address, device information, ad interactions and diagnostic data to Google LLC in the United States, which Google uses for ad serving, measurement and fraud prevention (https://policies.google.com/privacy, https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads). The app itself does not create or read cookies, but while an ad is being loaded or shown, and while Google’s ad consent form is open (shown only in some regions), Google’s ad SDK and consent SDK may store and read advertising cookies (for example IDE from .doubleclick.net) in the app’s web view storage. This web view storage is excluded from app data backup, and these cookies are deleted when you uninstall the app or clear its data. BS Planet neither receives nor stores this data. If you cancel in the consent dialog before the first ad, nothing is transmitted; you can opt out of personalised ads and reset or delete the advertising ID under Android Settings › Privacy › Ads.
- Google library diagnostics: simply by running the app, the Google Play Billing Library and the Google Cast SDK included in it may send records of how the libraries operate, together with device information such as the model and operating system version, to Google LLC in the United States. Google states that the records collected by the Cast SDK do not identify you. Neither you nor BS Planet can turn this transfer off, and BS Planet neither receives nor views these records. Their further handling is subject to Google’s privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy).
4. Permissions
Reading music and video is used to show and play your library, the microphone for voice commands and voice search, notifications for playback controls and new podcast episodes, display over other apps for the floating lyrics window, and Wi-Fi multicast for discovering cast and DLNA devices. The microphone is also used when the app plays an output format that its own audio chain cannot analyse (such as pass-through): the spectrum display then uses the system Visualizer to read the frequencies of the sound the app is playing, without recording or storing that sound. Nearby devices (Bluetooth) is used only to show the audio codec negotiated with the connected Bluetooth headphones or speaker on screen, and to tell whether that device is earbuds, headphones or a speaker from the name information (device name and alias), device class and service list it reports so the right picture is drawn (the device name shown on screen comes from the system audio information); this check happens on the device, the name, alias, class and service list it reads are not stored, and the app does not send that information off the device. For the device type, one picture type per Bluetooth device (the one you chose or the one the app recognised) is kept in the app’s own storage under a one-way code made from the device address, and it is excluded from app data backup. The advertising ID permission is merged by the Google ad SDK and used only while an ad is shown. Internet and network state serve the communication in section 3 and billing and updates; the foreground service and boot-completed receipt keep playback running with the screen off and re-register the periodic podcast refresh after a restart; vibration is the short buzz on a control. The ad, playback and billing libraries additionally merge ad-services access, wake lock and the billing permission. The app never acquires the wake lock itself; playback continues with the screen off because of the foreground service. Denying a permission leaves the remaining features working; every permission serves a function on the device, and BS Planet does not receive the data.
5. Google Play billing and Play Console
Payment, refunds and verification of purchase status are performed by Google Play, and payment details are not passed to the app. Purchase records, ratings, reviews, install statistics and crash reports are data that Google Play collects and holds as the store; BS Planet only views, in Play Console, what Google makes available to developers and does not store it separately or combine it with other data (https://policies.google.com/privacy, https://play.google.com/about/play-terms/). Transaction records required by the Korean E-Commerce Act are retained to the extent Google Play provides them.
6. Children
The app is not directed at children and has no channel through which children’s personal data could be collected.
7. Your rights
You may ask BS Planet to access, correct, delete or restrict the personal data it handles itself: the order information it views for refunds (section 5) and the e-mail address and message you send us (section 9). Write to support@bsplanet.app; we answer an access request within 10 days. Values stored on the device are not held by BS Planet; you delete search history and play history in the app’s settings, and the rest by uninstalling the app. Data held by Google or Apple should be requested from that company directly (https://myaccount.google.com/data-and-privacy).
8. Changes to this policy
When this policy changes, the changes and the effective date are announced with the app update, and changes unfavourable to users are announced 30 days before they take effect.
9. Contact
support@bsplanet.app (feature requests, defect reports, suggestions and requests about your personal data). Messages are used only to respond and are deleted once the matter is closed, except records the law requires us to keep, such as records of consumer complaints and disputes, which are kept only for that period.
