1. Information We Process

Information stored or created locally

Grovv helps you manage a vinyl record collection. To provide that functionality, the app may store information on your device, including:

• Collection and want list records, including Discogs IDs, record titles, artists, years, labels, genres, styles, countries, formats, catalog numbers, Discogs links, artwork URLs, tracklists, added dates, and collection or want-list status.
• Notes, if a notes feature is available and you choose to enter them.
• Share poster settings, such as display name, signature, and whether to show a catalog-number code.
• App preferences, including theme, music source, poster style, shuffle queue, widget display data, and backup settings.
• A Discogs Personal Access Token if you manually enter one for Discogs API access.

Connected account information

If you connect third-party services, Grovv may process:

• Discogs OAuth token, OAuth token secret, and Discogs username.
• Apple Music authorization status used for MusicKit search and playback.

Search, scan, and photo information

• Search terms, record names, artist names, barcodes, catalog numbers, and Discogs IDs used to perform searches or fetch record details.
• Camera scan results from barcodes, QR codes, Aztec codes, and catalog-number text recognition. Camera frames are processed on device for recognition and are not intentionally uploaded by Grovv.
• Photos that you choose through the system photo picker for barcode or text recognition. The selected image is processed on device for recognition and is not intentionally uploaded by Grovv.
• Generated share posters when you choose to save them to your photo library.

Cache, backup, and widget data

• Artwork image cache stored in memory and on local disk to improve loading speed.
• Backup files such as grovver_backup.json, which may include backup version, export date, Discogs IDs, catalog numbers, and collection or want-list status.
• Widget data stored in the App Group container, including current record title, artist, genre, playback state, and artwork image.

Purchase information

If you purchase or restore Grovv Gold Record, Apple and StoreKit provide information needed to confirm your entitlement, such as the product identifier, transaction identifier, purchase date, storefront, verification status, and whether a transaction was refunded or revoked. Grovv does not receive your full payment-card or bank-account details.

2. Information We Do Not Currently Collect

Grovv does not include advertising SDKs, third-party analytics SDKs, third-party crash-reporting SDKs, location tracking, contacts access, microphone access, or health data processing. We do not sell personal information and do not use your information for cross-app or cross-site advertising tracking.

3. How We Use Information

We use information only to provide and maintain app functionality, including to:

• Search for records, show record details, manage your collection and want list, filter records, and search locally.
• Fetch record data, artwork, tracklists, and release versions from Discogs.
• Search and play Apple Music content through MusicKit when authorized.
• Recognize barcodes, QR codes, Aztec codes, and catalog numbers using camera, photo, and system vision features.
• Cache artwork, sync widget display data, generate share posters, and save posters when you request it.
• Create, read, and import backup files.
• Maintain app preferences and basic app state.
• Load in-app purchase information, verify and maintain Grovv Gold Record access, restore eligible purchases, and respond to refunds or revocations reported by Apple.
• Respond to support, feedback, or rights requests if you contact us.

4. Storage and Retention

• Local data: collection data, preferences, OAuth tokens, image cache, widget data, and local backups are primarily stored on your device until you delete them, disconnect accounts, clear app data, disable backups, or uninstall the app.
• iCloud sync: Grovv does not currently provide iCloud synchronization or store your collection in a Grovv cloud service. If iCloud sync is introduced later, data will be stored in iCloud only after the app expressly presents and enables that feature, and this Policy will be updated accordingly.
• Third-party service data: requests and responses involving Discogs, Apple Music, or artwork hosts are processed by those providers under their own terms and privacy policies.
• Image cache: artwork may be cached locally. The current disk cache limit is approximately 150 MB, after which older cached files may be removed.

5. Third-Party Services

Discogs

When you search records, scan barcodes or catalog numbers, view record details, restore backups, or connect a Discogs account, Grovv may send necessary requests to Discogs. These requests may include search terms, barcodes, catalog numbers, Discogs IDs, OAuth credentials, or a Personal Access Token. Discogs may return record metadata, artwork links, tracklists, and account username information.

Apple and system services

Grovv uses Apple-provided system capabilities including StoreKit, SwiftData, MusicKit, AVFoundation, Vision, Photos, WidgetKit, and App Groups. Apple processes App Store payments and may provide transaction and entitlement information to Grovv. These services are subject to Apple's terms and privacy policies.

Artwork hosts

When Grovv displays or caches artwork from a URL, the corresponding image server may receive network-level information such as IP address, request time, and device network information. Most artwork URLs are returned by Discogs.

6. Permissions

Grovv may request the following permissions:

• Camera access, used to scan record barcodes, QR codes, Aztec codes, and catalog numbers.
• Photo picker access, used to read only the image you select for local barcode or text recognition.
• Add-only photo library access, used to save generated share posters to your photo library.
• Apple Music access, used to search and play Apple Music content.
• Network access, used to reach Discogs, Apple Music, and artwork resources.
• App Group storage, used to share current display data between the main app and widgets.

You can manage system permissions in iOS Settings. Disabling a permission may make the related feature unavailable.

7. Your Choices

• Delete records from your collection or want list inside the app.
• Log out of Discogs or remove a manually entered Discogs token by clearing app data or using any available token controls.
• Turn off automatic backup in Data Management.
• Delete backup files such as grovver_backup.json from local device storage.
• Manage camera, photo, and media permissions in iOS Settings.
• Uninstall the app to remove app data stored on the device, subject to normal iOS backup and retention behavior.

8. Security

Grovv stores your core collection data on your device and does not operate a server that stores your collection. Access to features such as the camera, photos, and Apple Music is controlled by iOS permissions, and App Store payments are handled by Apple.

Connected-service credentials are kept on your device. We recommend protecting your device with a passcode and keeping iOS up to date. No method of storage or transmission can be completely secure.

9. Children

Grovv is not directed to children. Users under 13 years old, or a higher minimum age required by local law, should not use the app without consent and supervision from a parent or legal guardian.

10. International Transfers

Discogs, Apple, and artwork servers may process requests in countries or regions outside your place of residence. By using features that depend on those services, you understand that request information may be transferred to and processed by those providers according to their own policies.

11. Third-Party Links

Grovv may display Discogs links, content, artwork URLs, or other third-party resources. Third-party services are not governed by this Privacy Policy. Please review their own terms and privacy policies.

12. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy for product, legal, third-party service, or operational reasons. Material changes may be communicated through the app, release notes, a published page, or another reasonable method. The updated policy is effective from the stated effective date. Continued use of the app after an update means you accept the updated policy.
