Flipside

Thank you for using Flipside. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Flipside handles your information when you use the app. The short version: your tapes stay on your iPhone.

Information We Collect

We don't collect any personal information. Flipside has no account or sign-in, no servers of its own, and no analytics, advertising or tracking. We don't know who you are, what you listen to or how you use the app.

What Stays on Your iPhone

Everything you make in Flipside is stored on your iPhone only:

• Your tapes, their labels, colours and tracklists.
• Songs you import from Files, iCloud Drive, a USB drive or Wi-Fi transfer.
• Voice clips you record with the REC button.
• Your settings, such as the theme and app icon.
• A short activity log (screens opened, tapes played, problems) that helps explain issues if you send feedback. It never contains song titles, tape names or file names, and keeps only the most recent entries.

Your iPhone may include this data in its own iCloud or computer backups, under Apple's control and your backup settings.

Apple Music

If you choose to connect Apple Music, Flipside uses Apple's MusicKit to search the catalogue, read your music library and play songs. These requests go straight from your iPhone to Apple and are covered by Apple's Privacy Policy. Without a subscription, Flipside plays Apple's free 30-second previews. You can turn off access at any time in iOS Settings.

Microphone

Flipside uses the microphone only while you record a voice clip with the REC button. Clips are saved on your iPhone and are only included in a tape you decide to share.

Local Network (Wi-Fi Transfer)

While the Wi-Fi transfer screen is open, Flipside runs a small page on your Wi-Fi so you can send songs from a computer. Files go directly from that computer to your iPhone over your local network. Nothing is sent over the internet, and the page stops when you leave the screen.

Sharing Tapes

When you share a tape, Flipside creates a .flipside file with the tape's label, tracklist and any voice clips, plus the audio of your own song files if you choose to include them. Apple Music audio is never included. You choose who receives it (through Messages, AirDrop, Mail or any other app) and we never see it.

Feedback

Feedback is sent by email from your own mail app. You can see exactly what's attached first: app and iOS versions, your settings and the recent activity log. You can turn the details off, and nothing is sent until you press Send. We use feedback only to reply to you and improve Flipside.

Purchases

Flipside Plus is bought through the App Store. Apple handles the payment, and we never receive your payment details or Apple ID. Flipside checks what you own on your iPhone with Apple's StoreKit.

Widgets

Flipside's Home Screen widget reads the tape you're playing and your theme from storage shared on your iPhone. That information never leaves your iPhone.

Data Usage

We do not sell or share your data. As Flipside doesn't collect it, there's nothing to sell. To remove your data, delete tapes and songs in the app or delete the app.

Children’s Privacy

Flipside doesn't collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.

Changes

This policy may be updated periodically, and the date above shows the latest version. Continued use constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

By downloading and using Flipside, you agree to the following Terms and Conditions.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By using the app, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please uninstall the app. Apple's Standard End User License Agreement also applies.

2. Flipside Plus

Flipside is free to use, with up to 5 tapes. Flipside Plus unlocks themes and app icons, C90 tapes, unlimited tapes, sending tapes with your songs, and REC voice intros. Plus is available as:

• A monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription, which may begin with a free trial.
• A one-time Lifetime purchase.

Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within the 24 hours before then. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID settings in the App Store. If you buy a subscription during a free trial, any unused part of the trial ends. Prices are shown in the app before you buy. Purchases can be restored on your other devices with the same Apple ID and, where offered, shared with Family Sharing. Refunds are handled by Apple.

3. Apple Music

Playing full Apple Music songs requires an active Apple Music subscription, which is provided by Apple under its own terms. Flipside isn't affiliated with Apple Music, and the songs available to you depend on Apple and your region.

4. Your Music and Tapes

You're responsible for the songs, recordings and tape names you add to Flipside. Import and share only audio you have the right to use. When you share a tape that includes your own song files, you're responsible for having the right to share them.

5. Use of the App

Flipside is provided to play, arrange and share your music on a virtual cassette deck. Use responsibly and in accordance with local laws. The starter tapes, sounds, artwork and design of Flipside are provided for use within the app only.

6. Limitation of Liability

Flipside is provided “as-is.” We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including the loss of tapes, recordings or song files. Keep your own copies of anything that matters to you.

7. Modifications

We may modify the app or these terms at any time. Continued use constitutes acceptance.
