Summary: Accompanist has no accounts and no analytics, we do not track you, and we (the developer) never receive your data. Your audio, folders, and dancer profiles stay on your device. The free version shows advertising — one small banner on the playlist and settings screens, never during playback — supplied through Unity LevelPlay. Those ads are non-personalized, and Accompanist Pro removes them entirely (see section 7). If you turn on the optional iCloud sync (part of Accompanist Pro), that content is stored in your own private iCloud under your Apple ID so it can sync between your devices and be shared with people you choose — it is handled by Apple, not by us.
Accompanist is published by MW Supply Limited (“we”, “us”). We do not operate any servers of our own and we do not run any account system. There is no login.
None that reaches us. Accompanist does not ask for, collect, transmit to us, or store on our systems any personally identifiable information. We have no servers, no database, and no analytics. We cannot see your songs, your folders, your profiles, or how you use the app.
The one thing that does leave your device is described in section 7: to fill the free version’s banner, the advertising SDKs bundled in the app send technical device and app information to their own servers. That goes to those providers, not to us, and it is not linked to you by name or account.
When you add music, the app uses Apple’s standard Files picker or accepts files shared to it from another app (for example Google Drive). The files you choose are copied into the app’s private storage on your device and read locally for playback. They are never sent to us.
All audio processing — decoding, time-stretching, pitch-shifting, the speed knob, volume, and fades — happens locally on your device using Apple’s audio frameworks. No part of your audio is sent off the device for processing.
Accompanist Pro can sync your folders, songs, and dancer profiles across your own devices, and let you share a folder with another person, using Apple’s iCloud (CloudKit). This is off until you choose to use it.
The Apple Watch companion communicates only with your own iPhone over Apple’s on-device Watch Connectivity link, to relay playback controls and what’s currently playing. Nothing is sent to us or to any third party.
The free version of Accompanist shows ads. One small banner appears at the bottom of the playlist and settings screens only. There is no advertising on the player screen itself and nothing that interrupts playback, and there are no interstitials, no full-screen ads and no rewarded video. (The library and settings screens can be opened while a song is playing, so the banner can be on screen at the same time as the music — it never covers the playback controls and never stops the audio.) Accompanist Pro removes all advertising.
Ads are supplied through Unity LevelPlay (ironSource), which acts as the mediation layer — it runs the auction and decides which network fills the banner. The advertising networks whose software is bundled in the app and can serve a banner through it are ironSource, Unity Ads, AppLovin and Vungle (Liftoff Monetize). To select, display and measure an ad, those SDKs send technical device and app information to their own servers — for example device model, operating system version, language, IP address and the country derived from it, a device identifier, whether an ad was shown or tapped, and diagnostic and performance information about how their own software ran. They also use it to measure how well their advertising performed, which App Store labelling calls “analytics”. This is the collection listed under Data Not Linked to You on the app’s App Store privacy label. We never receive any of it, and none of it is linked to your identity.
The ads are non-personalized, and the app does not track you. Accompanist never shows an App Tracking Transparency prompt and never asks for permission to track you across other companies’ apps and websites. Because that permission is never requested it can never be granted, so iOS hands the ad SDKs the all-zero advertising identifier (IDFA) and no cross-app advertising profile can be built from your use of this app. Before the ad software is allowed to request anything, the app also signals no consent to personalisation for the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, and sets the US “do not sell” flag. The ads you see are based on the app and general context, not on tracking.
Apple’s SKAdNetwork is used for install measurement. It is Apple’s privacy-preserving mechanism: the report is produced by Apple, identifies no individual, and tells an advertiser only that an install happened.
For how each provider handles data, see Unity’s privacy policy (LevelPlay, ironSource and Unity Ads), AppLovin’s privacy policy, and Liftoff’s privacy policy (Vungle).
Apart from the advertising software named in section 7, Accompanist embeds no third-party code: there are no analytics frameworks, no attribution or marketing SDKs, and no third-party crash reporting. The only other platform services used are Apple’s own — iCloud (above), StoreKit for purchases, and Apple’s first-party crash reporting, which runs only if you have opted in under iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements.
The app does not request access to your microphone, contacts, photos, or location. The Files picker shown when you import music is run by iOS itself and only returns the items you choose.
Accompanist Pro is sold as an auto-renewing subscription through the App Store. Purchases are processed by Apple; we never see your payment details. Apple may share aggregate, non-identifying sales information with us.
Accompanist is a general-audience app. It is not directed to children under 13, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and the app tells its advertising provider that it is not child-directed. The advertising described in section 7 is non-personalized for every user.
If we change how Accompanist handles data, we will update this page and the “Last updated” date above. Material changes will also be reflected in the App Store privacy labels for the affected version.
