Privacy

iBaila is built to know as little about you as possible. There is no account and no tracking, in the app or on this website.

The app

iBaila runs on your computer. It listens to the sound your music plays only to move the light. That sound is analyzed in memory as it plays. It is never recorded, stored or sent anywhere, and iBaila never uses your microphone.

It reads the song that is playing (title, artist, album and artwork) from Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, SoundCloud or Amazon Music to pick colors and show the player. To follow music in your browser, it reads the titles of your browser's tabs to find the one that plays music; they never leave your computer. To find lyrics, artwork, album lists, search results and moving artwork, it sends the song's title and artist to public music services, such as Apple's catalog, Spotify's public pages and LRCLIB. Nothing that identifies you is sent with them.

Your settings and a short list of recently played songs stay on your computer.

To check for updates, it asks this website (on a Mac) or GitHub (on Windows) whether a new version is out. Nothing about you is sent with the question.

Buying iBaila

Payments are handled by Polar, our merchant of record. Polar processes your name, email address, payment details and billing address to complete the order, send your license key and meet tax rules. We see your email address and your order, never your full card details. Polar's own privacy policy applies to the checkout.

When you activate your license, the key is checked with Polar, together with your computer's kind (a Mac's model, or “Windows PC”) and an anonymous code made from its hardware ID, so the key works on one computer. The code can't be turned back into the ID.
