Privacy Policy

Effective August 30, 2026

This is the same privacy copy shown inside the MIX7 app.

Privacy by design

Privacy is a core design choice in MIX7. Mixes are hosted directly on participant devices, not on MIX7 servers. We intentionally do not create MIX7 accounts, operate a mix database, collect analytics, use advertising identifiers or advertising SDKs, perform cross-app tracking, or receive remote diagnostic reports.

Our privacy commitment

MIX7 is designed to keep only the data needed to run the app on participating devices. We do not retain your mix history on a MIX7 server because MIX7 has no mix server infrastructure.

Data stored on devices

MIX7 stores mix names, nicknames, queue activity, mix history, playlists, and a temporary guest identifier on participating devices. The host’s device also keeps listening preferences MIX7 learns to shape recommendations, such as how long the host likes to stay with one artist; these are summaries, not a list of songs, and never leave that device. The host’s music-provider tokens are stored with operating-system secure storage. Guests never receive the host’s provider credentials.

Data shared with participants

Joining a mix shares the information needed to operate it directly with nearby participants. This may include the queue, playlist information, song requests, nicknames, and mix history. MIX7 does not send this information through a MIX7 server.

iCloud

MIX7 automatically keeps the local mix library backed up in private iCloud Drive when iCloud is available. Apple associates that copy with your Apple Account and processes it under Apple’s terms and privacy policy. MIX7 does not receive the backup, your Apple Account identity, or a copy of your mix data.

Music providers

The host connects directly to Apple Music for authorization, catalog search, and playback. Apple processes those requests under its own terms and privacy policy and may associate them with the host’s Apple Account.

Permissions

Camera access is used only to scan a mix QR code; images are processed on-device and are not stored by MIX7. Bluetooth and Local Network access enable nearby device connections. MIX7 does not request Location Services or use nearby connections to determine precise location.

Retention and deletion

Mix data remains on participating devices and in the private iCloud copy until it is removed. Deleting the app removes everything MIX7 keeps on that device, including learned listening preferences. The private iCloud Drive copy is removed from your device’s iCloud settings. MIX7 has no in-app deletion, and deleting data does not affect App Store purchases. Copies kept by others remain under their control.

Security

MIX7 relies on operating-system security for local credentials and encrypted nearby connections where provided by the platform. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure. Keep your device secured and join only mixes you trust.

Your choices

You may decline Camera, Bluetooth, or Local Network access, disconnect Apple Music, leave a mix, or remove MIX7’s data by deleting the app and its iCloud Drive data in iCloud settings. Some choices prevent nearby joining or playback features from working.

Children

MIX7 is not directed to children under 13. Users must meet the minimum age required in their region and by their connected music provider.
